Here are some of my "go to" remedies when my kids are sick. We rarely go the doctor, so they must work!
Cold or Flu: Soak in the bathtub with warm water and about a 1/2 to 1 cup each of apple cider vinegar and epsom salts. It helps!
Fever: Soak in the bathtub with about 1 cup of Hydrogen Peroxide
Colds: Swab your ears and nose with Hydrogen Peroxide. It kills the germs safely. I have heard that the nose is where the cold germs start.
Herbs for Kids: Herbs for Kids is a great brand of liquid herbs that I have used for years. My kids easily take them. They have products for coughs, stuffy noses, stomach aches and nerves. I find them at Whole Foods in the children's section. I would imagine that you can order online as well.
Crane Humidifiers: http://www.target.com/Crane-Home-Improvement/b/602-0122032-6851021?ie=UTF8&node=239464011
These are adorable animal humidifiers. They are so quiet and no filters to replace. I found mine on sale at Target and really enjoy them.

I heard about a great program called Germy Wormy Germ Smart that teaches kids to understand how germs spread and how to NOT spread germs. My daughter learned it at pre-school. It was so much fun for her, and it was amazing how quickly the kids learned healthier hygiene habits! The website speaks for itself: www.germywormy.com
