Yes, it is so frustrating when he won't even try something that has been proven to help so many other people. What is so bad about a cup of ginger or peppermint tea with honey? It would help and he may even like it if he would just try it. I am at this minute making some homemade chicken noodle soup. I will see what he says about it when he trys it. Oh wll, if he would rather eat soup out of the can, that is on him. HOmemade is so much better for anyone. Good luck with yours.
