Remedies when sick

When I was growing up, if we got sick with the stomach bug, we always had saltine crackers and 7-up. We very seldom got sick, but this was what worked for us when we were sick.

If we got sick with a cold, we always used Vicks VapoRub and Chloraseptic. My mom would rub that Vicks all over our chest, and then put a towel wrapped around our chest. We also put Vicks on our nose to help us breathe. We used the Chloraseptic spray for a sore throat. These two things were always in our closet.
