What's a mom to do? Well, MG can have warm tea with honey, but Claire can't because honey can have botulism so you can't give them honey until they're one. I've been giving them suckers (because cough drops don't come on sticks) for their throats. Orange juice, of course, as well as other vitamin C sources (MG ate a whole package of tomatoes last night, the little weirdo), and chicken noodle soup become diet staples. Lots of fluids, lots of rest, etc. etc. and when Mommy has had it, there's always the leftover reserves of infant Benedryl. WHAT? They NEED it. Don't hassle me.
While surfing, I found another helpful suggestion:

I love that article. Photo caption at the top: "Over-the-counter cold medicines have never been tested in children." Buried in the article: "children receive 3.8 billion doses of the medicines a year."
Clearly more "testing" is needed.
