Buy some zink caplets.  Cut them in half, and put one half way at the back of the tongue.  Just let it dissolve and don't drink or eat anything for 30 minutes.  It will help heal, cold, sinus, and cough. 

Hi honey,

WOW - what a day . . You know it never ceases to amaze me just how much the bigger kids will complain about a simple bruise . . Trust me when I say that its not just a boy thing . . My eldest was exactly the same, mind you all that changed when she had to start paying for her own doctor appointments. Now all I hear is; it's cool, just a mark, I'll get over it . ..  GRRRR

As for your cough, poor you honey . ..  Try buying some Lemsip MEDIC room spray . . It's great and it helps heaps with coughs and colds . . I use it instead of a vaporizer and my kids seem to recover so much quicker . .

I hope you get better soon and I certainly hope that your days improve soon . . .

Cheers Kellz

What is it with the Male of the species, my husband is very similar, one small injury and you would think an amputation has taken place. Our girls on the other hand love to tell folks of how any injuries happen, if someone asks if it hurts, they look at said person as if that is not the point.LOL. Hope your young man is healed soon. Best wishes for a better few days for you and hope that cough takes wings and scarpers soon.

Luv Winnie.xxxx

Hope your day gets better. It sounds as though you've had a rough day. Hugs

Boys hey, biggest sooks at times! Thankfully, I've only got girls!

And yeah, after the 1st child, having any more is pure insanity!  So where does that put me on the meter?

You'd be so jealous of my parents then. Tell your boy I said he's a wimp! pmsl

My brother broke his toe at the age of 14, and not only did he keep walking on it - and he walked everywhere - he also hid the limp from his instructor and sparred and got his black belt a week later and didn't flinch once. Of course after he was awarded his belt he limped away and curled up in a ball on a chair and held his foot with a shocking grimmace across his face, but he didn't whinge about it.

I broke my toe and kept walking on it - though admittedly I did limp - when I was 12 years old. I didn't even know it was broken, I just thought it was a bit swollen and bruised - until I tore my ankle apart when I was 16 and had my foot x-rayed and the calcium deposits on my toe gave away that it had been broken at some point. I walked on that injury as well.

Maybe my family just breed us tough. LOL

Are we insane? Yep! Crazy but loving it, well most of the time!

Hope you get that much needed sleep!
