Yes, glass bottles. I also enjoy tomato soup with milk instead of water.

I recall eating chicken noodle soup with saltines as a child, when sick.

Air Borne really does work. But Walgreen's has a generic brand that works just as well and is a lot cheaper. It's Walborne. You can probably get it on the Internet, but it is sold every place that sells aspirin.

I use a lot of honey, lemon and vinegar during the allergy seasons as well as for my laryngitis.

Couple preventive things:

Antiviral tissues kill more than 99% of viruses. Make sure you are using them.

Always throw away your tooth brush when you get sick.

Remember to use antibacterial wipes on your phone.

Keep a little bottle of hand sanitizer in your purse.

Any others?

I do the antibacterial wipes or lysol on everything we touch...door handles, faucets, computer, steering wheels...everything we tend to touch and not wipe off. And of course, washing hands often and trying to remember to not touch your face before washing.

My son visis the gym a lot..he carries the antibacterial hand wash all the time.
Old fashioned tip from my Granny.Sore throat..fill an old sock with sea salt..warm in the aga type oven we had at home.Lay the salt filled sox round your neck..It was only done when going to bed..
MA

Throw away your tooth brush when you get sick? Are you kidding me?

Thennnnnn what do I clean Trixie's teeth with, may I ask?

Whattttt?

What do you do with used toilet bowl brushes JJ?

Dotsie I didn’t know those antiviral tissues are such germ killers. I’m buying a box tomorrow.

When Hubbys get sick; aaah, I know what you are talking about Ladyjane and Meredith. Yes,…our heroes.

By the way…I went to a lung specialist this morning, because the bronchitis isn’t getting any better. He took xrays of my lungs…I love xrays, I look so slender on them. Now the Dr. is giving me strong stuff; cortisone and a cough medicine that tastes like Vick Vapour rub. Good grief, that's even worse than Cooky's garlic drink. That stuff will drive anyone to health.

What USED ones?

Speaking of vicks vapor rub...my stepmom (God rest her soul) had the weird idea that eating vicks vapor rub would cure my chest cold. After chasing me around for an hour and backing me into a corner, she'd take that dark blue jar of axil grease, stick her finger deep down into the middle of it, come up with what amounted to about two tablespoons of the stuff, force my mouth open and smear it on the back of my throat and tell me to swallow it. Okay...now that I'm an adult and really can think for myself...what the H#$! did swallowing that crap do for my lungs? All it did was make me sick to my stomach...did nothing for my lungs. Before my dad married my step-mom, it had always been rubbed on my chest...you should have seen my face the first time my SM told me I had to eat the stuff.

Another childhood medicine trauma...Pepto Bismol...that stuff is disgusting and I'd rather have a screaming case of hemroids the size of each of my butt cheeks than take that stuff. Gag me with a spoon!!!!

Also hate Pepto Bismol, ick!!! But the Vicks I love, NOT TO EAT however, but to rup on my chest, and a little secret here: When you feel a cold coming on, before bedtime, rub some vicks on the bottom of each foot, be generous with it, then put on a pair of good heavy socks and it will work to stop the cold and if you aleady have one, will clear the mucus and help end the cold. This one REALLY works!!

Also in flu season always wear a hat outdoors, 70% of the bodys heat escapes through the top of the head. Remember in the olden days they wore those caps to bed, that was because they warmed the house with the fireplace, and it was so cold at night. The cap helped keep the body warmer.
Ask Dr. Chatty for advice, LOL!!
