Pretty much what jbtwin said. I do how ever take meds that mask the symptoms so I can funtion. Haven't found one that works great but science is changing daily

I take vitamin C every single day. When I forget for awhile - oddly enough - I do start picking up colds, etc.

When I do get sick - I drink tons of water to wash the germs away :)

THE ONLY TIME I TAKE ANYTHING IS WHEN I GET IN REAL TROUBLE WITH IT SETTLING IN MY CHEST AS I AM PRONE TO PNEUMONIA. THEN I GET A PRESCRIPTION AND USE FISHERMEN'S FRIENDS COUGH DROPS. THEY TASTE TERRIBLE BUT REALLY WORK!

I drink lots of water and eat soup. Maybe I'm hoping they will send the cold on it's way.
If I have a bad, nagging cough, I use my dad's remedy....A tablespoon of a mixture of honey, lemon juice and bourbon. It does help to stop the cough for a few hours...much better than any prescription cough medicine I've found!

Actually ocean - there is some truth to your remedy. At least I was told that washing the mucus (which contains the germs) out of our systems - with lots of water - speeds up the healing process.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
