It worked, so I've always used it as an adult. What I can't get myself to try is rubbing it on my feet instead of under my nose. How can that work better? My husband said "why not just rub it on the door knob?". So, my Mom used to rub Vicks right under our noses to cut down on coughing during the night. It worked, so I’ve always used it as an adult.

She says just a little bit at bedtime "keeps her throat from getting too dry". <br /><br />I can't believe I married into this family. My husband just told me that his Mother eats Vicks.

Can. Not. Breath. <br /><br />My mom used to put vick's on my chest and back when I had a cold or cough as a kid. And then make me cover up with blankets. Such acts should be officially classified as torture. No vick's in our house. Ever! Vapor-Rub. *shudder*

It was the only thing that stopped the coughing. Never heard of the chocolate remedy, I'll pretend it's preventitive medicine too. I'm not sick but I think I should go eat some right now.
