Dude & Katie
about 5 years ago
I have had an annoying cough that had been hanging on for weeks. I saw a doctor who said it was a virus which has to run it's course.
While on the phone with Katie the other day she noticed the cough ...At which point she said, " hey Dude, I can tell you how to get rid of that cough....before you go to bed, rub some Vick's Vaporub on the bottom of your feet , then sleep with your socks on."
not my real feet
I decided to follow Katie's advice and I'm happy to report that it worked!!! No more cough!!
Thanks for the endorsement, Dude. My bill is in the mail. By the way, I have since changed my profile picture on Facebook to this.
Stay healthy everybody!

My, Dr. Katie, how you have changed. No coughs for me yet this winter, but I will remember this little trick if I get one. Silly me, I always rubbed it on my chest :)

I read that on someone's blog before the holidays. My youngest had the worst cough/ cold...so we gave it a try. Worked like a charm!!!
ReplyDeleteDr. Katie,
ReplyDeleteYou can now say you have a branch office in the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas.
I rub Vicks everywhere while putting Mentholatum in my nose.
That's too much information, isn't it?
Glad you're better,

I heard of that old wives tale.. wow, it works!! She is so funny!! Glad you are well!
ReplyDeleteI have heard that myself - so it really works. I will try it! sandie
ReplyDeleteCrazy how some old wives tales work. I have heard this before but never tried it. I definetly will next time. Glad you are better!
ReplyDeleteThat made me smile! My grandmother believed in Vicks as a fix-it-all!
ReplyDeleteI've heard about this feet and sock thing but never knew anyone who had tried it. My mom and grandmother were big believers in Vicks. I hate the gooey stickiness of it but it does the trick! Glad that Dude is feeling better!
