my daughter has been sick (again:rolleyes: )

was talking to this lady here at work...she said to give her a teaspoon of vicks vapor rub by mouth....that it would work wonders.

then asked the babysitter...she said that her great grandmother told her the same thing...she gave her 18month old son some...and he made stinkies full of mucus.

anybody else heard of this?

vicks vapor rub by mouth:eek: :eek: :eek:



and no...i didnt give it to her.

i have never used vapor rub at all on her...her skin is too sensitive..

i cant get her to swallow the "cherry" flavored medicine....i KNOW i aint gone be able to get her to swallow any vapor rub.

and i wouldnt do anything so absurd anyways..........:p

Hea...I might have an idea for ya...

I recently purchased some Triaminic vapor patches for Zuri Jr.

It's pretty powerfull stuff..and I do not think that the vapor gunk stuff will get on her.

I have heard of swallowing Vaseline, a small amount for a sore throat.
