Then the Saturday before Christmas I sprained my ankle and Sunday Kaitlynn came down with croup. I guess we are getting it all out of the way for Christmas.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03537630660989106641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629523777912990939.post-82854726060659367762009-12-20T13:18:28.552+00:002009-12-20T13:18:28.552+00:00Juicytots, thanks for all the brilliant advice.

Anbesol liquid is the best thing ever for teeth and you can use it on ulcers too. Far better than any of the gel formulations and it contains a topical local anesthetic. I also always put a damp tea towel on the radiator to keep the air humid as I find that helps, and raise the end of the bed. Hope the little fella feels better soon.Juicytotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016646925522387582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629523777912990939.post-35199192989108113942009-12-16T20:03:54.956+00:002009-12-16T20:03:54.956+00:00Chic Mama, we used Medised when Presley had a coug...Chic Mama, we used Medised when Presley had a cough ages ago, it's probably out of date now. Must get some more in! Yes, he's got red gums and a red throat, but was so much better today thanks.<br /><br />The Mad House, I bought some lolly making stuff in July, then Summer ended! Good idea, will have to make some. I have got some saline drops, will use as a last resort because of the chapped lips!<br /><br />Fiona, it's so hard for them. Will definitely be getting some Medised in!<br /><br />Gigi, feel free to use 'man-flu', it's a common saying over here! Thanks for all the advice. I think I need a few more items in my first aid kit! We've had a better day today so I'm hoping they're over the worst.<br /><br />Karin, I used to take echinacea and vitamins, but stopped when I was pregnant. It's probably time I re-started! <br /><br />Emily, thanks. There's not a lot we can do about the teething (poor things) but here's to a germ free Christmas!<br /><br />Hot Cross Mum, they only want cuddles from Mummy when they're ill and that includes those with man-flu! <br /><br />Emma, I know, there's so much illness about. We've had a good day today. Fingers crossed it continues!sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12004801243819162845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629523777912990939.post-19659585017578218012009-12-16T12:56:25.199+00:002009-12-16T12:56:25.199+00:00It seems like the whole blogging world have poorly...It seems like the whole blogging world have poorly kids & other halfs!

I love how you still find a positive though..."at least we'll have it out of the way before Christmas". Good luck and try to get some rest yourself. I recommend HIGH does of effervescent Vitamin C and Echinacea. I SWEAR by it for myself. (Not Little Miss obviously!)<br />Take care of you! <br />KarinKarin @ Cafe Bebehttp://cafebebe.co.uk/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629523777912990939.post-56213322150506715922009-12-16T00:27:47.057+00:002009-12-16T00:27:47.057+00:00Ha!

All I can say is Tylenol or Motrin (do you have that there?) it really helps with the pain (sore throat and teething) as long as you keep on the schedule (if I recall every 4 hours?). As for chapped lips, I always found that Blistex worked (although it stings a bit when you first put it on - might not be a good idea for 15 month old....)but it better than Vaseline or Chapstick as it's actually medicated. Saline for the nose (be sure to suck it back out though) which was probably what my son considered to be the biggest indignity of all and absolute torture.<br /><br />Hope he and the others feel better soon and that you somehow, miraculously, skate by without getting it!Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467164195744234746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629523777912990939.post-7805912301297861142009-12-15T20:24:48.555+00:002009-12-15T20:24:48.555+00:00Aaaw my Louis is teething too with his last canine...Aaaw my Louis is teething too with his last canine so hes got a cough and cold!

Have you looked in his mouth? Just to check that it's all ok and the back of his throat? I hope he starts feeling better soon. Nothing worse than them suffering.Chic Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01803588856685163353noreply@blogger.com
