Calming Nighttime Coughs

We have all been there. It is cold and cough season. The kids are finally asleep and just as you finally curl up exhausted underneath the covers, the coughing starts. You can hear your poor kiddo as they cough and cough and then call out for you. Sick kids are the worst. As a mom, I feel so helpless as their little bodies learn to fight back against those nasty colds that circulate around this time of year. But, now I don’t have to feel so helpless!

I received product and compensation for this post, all opinions are my own.

Mentholatum has just released its brand new Lavender Scented Nighttime Chest Rub, and it is a dream come true! It’s scent is soothing and pleasant and it does the trick to stop that nighttime cough. My kids love to have it applied to their chest before bed. Not only do the vapors help clear and suppress those pesky coughs but the act of applying it helps my kids calm down and relax before bedtime. It lasts up to 8 hours and helps avoid having to administer cough syrup!

Simply apply the vapor rub to the soles of your feet and and cover with the socks. This simple trick will stop the coughing and last for hours!

Like any medication you want to keep this rub out of reach of children. It is intended for the use of kids over the age of two. Make sure to talk to your doctor before using on younger children.
