Quite a 'silly' question, but would you give your toddlers (2-4yo) treats like gummy bear and chocolates, to ease their discomfort when they are ill? flu/cough/etc Wondering if there's any medical basis for this?

easing the kids discomfort can b done in many ways. i dont agree with uaing chocolate and gummy bear. especially cough, you should avoid sweet stuff else it may be worse. u can try to distract them by allowing them their favourite toys instead. singing is another way to distract them. if still nursing, nurse them as much as possible.
