@Twoaces  My DH had toenail fungus for months, and his doctor told him to slather with Vicks and put on cotton socks The Vicks cleared it up in a matter of a week or so.

Hi again @ciao_bella 

Thanks for this additional Saline Spray solution.  Another on my list to try.

I remember, years ago, Afrin Nasal Spray was believed to be addictive. Whether true or not, that's in my head.

This Simply Saline is worth my trying too!

Gosh, you have great suggestions you share. (& posted pics)  Thanks!

I remember my mother putting Vicks on my chest and throat when I was sick.  She would then put my undershirt on and then my pajama top.  I could still feel how the Vicks stuck to my undershirt!!  It did help!

[ciao_bella]

@JoyFilled Warrior  Yes, Afrin was addictive.  The Simply Saline is not.  It's simply sterlized water and a salt solution made into a mist spray.  Works great!

Ha @ciao_bella 

I checked it out.  heh

Now THIS is a combo I never thought would be bundled together.  And my imagination is running wild. 

  "Simply Saline" & "Beano!"  (ref: Amz)

@JoyFilled Warrior  LOL...Can't imagine why they would bundle those two together.  There's no correlation.  Can't you just order 1 Simply Saline?

Hi   I can order (1) of the regular Simply Saline, but it's a min 3-pack of the Green bottle Simply Saline.  I might start with the single one, Regular. 

    Plus next, checking out, & hope to order the Key chain Vicks. 

Thank you again for your help, @ciao_bella

@JoyFilled Warrior  I use the regular one because I have sinus issues as well.  It works well. My daughter has also used the regular and it does the trick. She bought the allergy one at the pharmacy when we ran out of the regular.  Both seem to work just fine.

My parents had a candy store/soda fountain..My dad gave away more coke syrup in winter than selling coke soda at the fountain..

Hi @Jo1313 

To my ever-curious self, why do you spoze yr Dad sold more Coke Syrup in Winter, vs Coke Soda at the fountain otherwise?  *scratching my head* 

I'm always on the hunt for effective solutions to problems.  And have no shame in asking. 

PS: I would have a blast if my Dad owned such a store!  How fortunate.
