Use Vicks Vapor Rub and socks. Even the worst cough can be stopped within 5-15 minutes, and lasts hours. Just apply the vapor rub generously to the bottom of your (or child&#x27;s) feet, and cover with socks. works 100% of the time, and has been proven to work better than prescription drugs! -I&#x27;ve used this for almost 2 years...it works!!!!
