First thing is getting rid of the post nasal drip. Keep in mind that

dairy helps create mucous ... so if there is a problem with excess

mucous, dairy products are only going to make it worse .. so might wanna

hold off on any dairy for a bit ....

 

But my favorite thing for soothing a cough and sore throat is garlic honey!

I take a whole head of garlic, peel the cloves and lightly smash them so

they begin to release their " juice " and then put them in a jar, cover

with honey .. and let it sit forever .. replenishing the jar as necessary.

 

 

It is great stuff to cook with too!

I understand the little one needing the rest after days of illness ..

I'd be a little worried about that too .. but I'd worry about the

codeine even more ..... maybe if he's still restless tonight a nice

lavender/chamomile bath and some chamomile tea or Celestial Seasonings

Sleepytime tea would help some Also body massages are great to help

relax anyone .. especially if they are sick and achy

COOL! I took French in junior high ... don't remember much at all except

that the song Allouete is about plucking the feathers off a bird!
