@Bubbles So sorry you’re sick. I had Covid this winter and the thing that helped me most was making sure the air was humid. Hot steam showers, humidifier in my bedroom (this was the biggest help- I didn’t actually have a humidifier at the time so I put a big crockpot full of water out and just let it do its thing), drinking lots of tea and the like. I also used a ton of decongestants so the humidity was really helpful. Hope you feel better soon!

@LaurenChesnut being a parent is hard and anything (within reason) to make it easier is fine with me. That said, distractions never worked for me as a kid. My mom tried EVERYTHING to get me to wear socks and I just couldn’t handle the feel of them. She bought every different sock she saw to try to find something! Distraction while trying to slip them on my feet were a common tactic and failed every time. This is one specific example, but distraction never worked for me, I always remembered.
