My remedies are more of prevention things. It's Calcium and being a bit of a germophobe with obsessive-compulsive hand washing and germ-x... I have been fairing well for quite a time now!
It been my experience, with a few little ones in close proximity you don't stand a chance.
Hope you all feel well soon.
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.

Brad, I am in the same boat and right now I am consuming my home remedy. I shot of Canadian Hunter whiskey in a glass full of ice topped off with diet cola. It is working right now but tomorrow morning might be a different story. Oh yeah the joys of having kids, they bring everything home form school, but I wouldn't want to live without them.

My wife found this one on the intermess. It seems to work I believe it is 1 cup warm- hot water 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon honey. It seems to help open the head congestion.

I've been having hot tea at night with a shot of booze, a good scoop of raw honey, and a squirt of lemon juice. Seems to help open things up, but I took Ny-Quil with it two nights ago and I woke up feeling like I had a 12 pack in me. Lesson learned. Don't mix booze and cold medicine.

Increase the Vitamin C and stay on it. Kids, especially at a young age, are a traveling petri dish of various illnesses. (I know...went through that with the boy )
Not a home remedy but I really like that Emergen-C. Think it helps wake me up when I have it in the morning.
Knock on wood...I haven't come down with anything for the most part for a couple of years.
I learned a recipe from an old country boy in Mississippi that works great for me...take some peppermint candies and put them in a a jar, about half full, pour any bourbon over top just covering the candies, let that set until the candies dissolve, then when you have any head congestion, you put the jar into boiling water, let it heat up until it's soft, take a spoonful and put it in you're mouth, and it clears up the congestion, it always works great for me
I got a recipe that been working for my family for years take a wide mouth quart jar equal parts bourbon whiskey with lemon juice then add 2 tbs honey or add to ur taste and add 1 tbs peppermint extract and stir it good when u need it fill a standard coffee mug or 6 oz cup up and microwave or heat till it's good and warm stir and drink it fast as u can then go to bed and cover up! If u don't cover up it won't be as affective! It opens ur sinuses up instantly and helps open ur pours and pushes the toxins out ur body plus u get a great night sleep I make a quart jar last all year long very cheap to make just make shure to use real lemons and real peppermint extract and good honey it will help ur body! So I hope u get well soon and if u need any more info let me know
