We own this thermometer and love it. I personally love that it lights up Green if your child has no fever, yellow that their temperature is slightly elevated and red if they have a fever. It is a great visual when you are in a panic that your child might be sick. Plus in the middle of the night when you don't want to turn the light on to bother them you can easily take their temperature behind their ear as there sleeping.
Here is a quick video on it.
We also own the Vicks Starry Night Humidifier as my daughter has times at night where she coughs continually. The Starry Night Humidifier is great for her and she loves the projected stars on her ceiling. If you participate in the sharing of the Cold and Flu Survival Guide you can also enter to win a Vicks Starry Night Humidifier here.
Check out http://www.coldandflushop.com/SurvivalGuide/ for more details.
In addition to thermometers, they have additional products that are a necessity during the winter months including: humidifiers, vaporizers, and humidity monitors.
Disclosure: I was provided with the Vicks thermometer for giveaway purposes. The Vicks products I own were provided to me from an event I previously attended with Vicks. No other compensation was received and all opinions are my own.

I always prescribe warm honey water and lots of rest for my sick family.
I prefer to use warm honey tea to soothe a sore throat, and I make sure to use a humidifier, to make sure there is not dry air.
We like to get the bathroom as steamy as possible and sit in there until it's all gone.Helps clear out the lungs a bit, relive the coughing and stuffiness
A steamy bathroom has always been a go to for us plus lots of rest & fluids.

My best tip for babies is if they are congested, sit with them in the bathroom while you run a hot shower. The sauna/humidity helps clear their congestion.
my best home remedy for cold/flu is to wash hands regularly and try to prevent it but once you have it you need to rest and have lots of liquids
