Old Fashion Remedies

There is much to be said for the remedies that our mothers and grandmothers would impose upon us when we were sick.

The last couple of weeks all I have wanted to eat is chicken soup, Vicks vaporub on my chest and the ability to breathe.  Last night I steamed some Vicks in a bowl of hot water and put a towel over my head to see if I could open up my nasal passages.  

The one thing I have not had is a hot rum toddy; but, that might be the next step to take.  I would much rather do a home remedy than take antibiotics; however, I let this go too long before seeing the doctor and now I am on two antibiotics and a prescribed nasal spray.

Word to the wise - go to the Doctor sooner than later.
