How to stop cough in 5 minutes This is a must try We have all been kept awake by our own or someone else’s cough. Try this and pass it on; the tip and not the cough. ANYTHING is better than antibiotics. Even babies could benefit from this and the parents wouldn’t worry about the safety of their child. And of course, it is harmless and free from any type of side effects. WOW! I was raised, and raised my kids with Vicks. How come I never knew this? I can’t wait for my next cough. Amazing! READ IT ALL. It works 100 percent of the time, although the scientists at the Syria Today Toronto Canada">Canada Research Council (who discovered it) aren’t sure why. Treatment: To stop night time coughing in a child or an adult, put Vicks Vapor Rub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime and then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about five minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. This works 100 percent of the time, and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly. I heard the head of the Canada Research Council describe these findings on the part of their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in children, as compared to alternative therapies like acupressure. Cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs. – –
