Oh, gosh, so sorry to hear you've all been sick! I am glad Cadi is better, now we just hafta wrk on Momma! Have you tried breathing eucalyptus steam? Boil some water, pour it in a large bowl, sprinkle crumbled eucalyptus leaves over the top, and then breathe the steam. If you can stand it, drape a towel over your head and the bowl, to trap more steam and keep it from escaping into the room.

This was recommended to me by the Nurse Extraordinaire at my college many years ago. Seeing as I attended MassArt, she was used to dealing with kids with little to no money, and who wanted to avoid hospitalization at all costs ... and it worked!
