When it comes to raising kids everybody's got advice. Turns out, granny may know best. There is some truth to this belief. Speaking of fever, even doctors long recommended a lukewarm bath to break a child's high fever. Toss that one out with the bathwater.
Warts are an eyesore wherever they pop up, and the cures make for tall tales.
That won't work. But if your cure includes taping aspirin on a wart, you may be on to something. Aspirin is an acid that will eat up the carotin, the dead skin. Maybe you have heard that flying on a plane is painful for children with an ear infection. One common bit of bad advice is that psuedo-ephedrine, or sudafed, relieves that pain.
