This sounds weird, but it actually works. Before bed, put vicks vaporub on the bottom of feet and then put on socks. Got this advice from a grandmother. My teenager tried it because she thought it would be funny, but she felt better the next day.

Interesting. My mom used Vicks on us for everything.
The joke was that Mom thought Vicks VapoRub could cure cancer! I remember her rubbing my chest with it in great gooey gobs all over my chest which made my pajama top stick to me. She also had a special humidifier, which was a huge glass jar with some sort of heater attachment on the top. Steam rose up from the jar and passed over a little reservoir of Vicks. The result was something akin to a Vicks potpourri. But that contraption got really hot, and I remember getting scald burns from it when I got too close. Ahhh, the good old days! :)
Michael Vicks ... I wish I could treat him the same. sm
I'm sorry but I am writing letters to every single sponsor of his and to the NFL and the Falcons.
If I could, I would treat him the same way he has allowed those poor dogs to be treated.
Vicks vaporizer...works wonderfully!
