If you rub Vicks VapoRub on your feet will it get rid of a cough?

No. However, if you sleep with it on your feet with socks, you will wake up the next morning with a feeling similar to that of a massage.

I must say that I suffer from a rare lung disease and have been subjected to every cough remedy under the sun. Typically when I get very ill, the worst part is not the cough itself but the burning I feel in my lungs. This burning makes inhaling anything painful. A few months back I was visiting my parents and explained that I was beginning to get ill again. My father suggested I put vaporub on the soles of my feet. I had never heard of this and thought he was pulling my leg, but I tried it anyway. I must say that after applying it to my feet it almost instantly took away the burn, not to mention if its on my feet I don't have the added pain from inhaling it directly as I would if applied to my chest or throat. I can't explain why it seems to work but it seems to do a better job than any of the prescription medications that doctors have prescribed for my illness over the years. Not to mention its much cheaper too! If you really want to find out if it works, just try it yourself. You'll be amazed!

How do you get rid of a throaty cough?
Never fails: Heat. Apply a heating pad over your bronchial tubes (and your lungs and upper resperatory tract, too, if your heating pad is large enough) and get them as warm as you can for as long as you can. Then drink hot water, and get under an electric blanket if you can, and burn it out.There's a reason mustard packs and Vicks Vaporub on the bronchial tubes have always been popular remedies. But the heating pad does the trick without the stink or the expense.-- Mom of seven who hasn't lost one yet
