OK Y'all,
I'm from the South and the women in my family are nuts, but here is their formula (it has worked for various illnesses):
#1) Make a "Hot Tottie" (some say Toddy) pronounced Todd-E. Ingredients Hot Tea, two teaspoons of honey, fresh lemon juice and a shot of whiskey ( I do 1/2 because whiskey is gross). Sip 1/2 cup of tea slowly. any kind will do but my personal fave id celestial seasonings "tension tamer". it contains cat nip, so you get a tiny boost of HELLO!I don't use sleepy time because it keeps me up all night. You can do this as often as needed. The honey coats the throat to help with coughing, We buy local honey it has a natural antibiotics/antifungal qualities, good for gut health and boosting immunity. Do not give it to young children.
#2) Take a quick hot shower to remove your cooties. Sleep with hair in a towel, hair dryer is gonna make you cough more.
#3) Put Vicks vapor rub on your chest and the bottom of your feet and wear socks overnight. I have no idea why, just trust the process. LOL
#4) Put a humidifier in the room but not beside you.
#5) Homemade chicken soup. Have someone serve it to you in bed, have the other 1/2 of your hot tottie.
If it doesn't work, you can cyber punch me in the face.
Obviously do what the doctor tell you, this is just something additional you can do.
P.S. Disclaimer: I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice. Hope y'all feel better soon. I'm saying a little prayer.
