49: So Sick- Sick Season Survival

Send us Fan Mail It's finally fall, which means cold and flu season is here. Sil and Inish pour their drinks (a pineapple whip and a Pinot Grigio) and get into sick-season survival for parents.

They fact-check popular old wives' tales: chicken soup, "feed a cold, starve a fever," garlic and onions, going out with wet hair, and Vicks on the feet. They also share their own home remedies, talk about the "man flu" and caring for a sick husband, and cover the medicine cabinet basics.

They discuss letting a fever run its course, easing the rules and routines when kids are sick, when to call the nurse's hotline or pediatrician, and why to trust your gut over Google. They aren't medical professionals, and everything here comes from their own experience.
