If you are a mom, you know that sickness can strike your home at any time. You do everything you can to help prevent it from avoiding playdates to using antibacterial soap and disinfecting wipes religiously. No matter what your personal “anti-sickness” regime is, sometimes… sick happens.
If your child starts to experience any cold-like symptoms, head over to Sick just got real.โข website to use the Sick Sense Relief Finder to determine the best solution to your child’s symptoms, track the sickness reports in your area and even learn a few sickness hacks.
While I like to use “crunchy” alternative medicine whenever possible, there are three game-changers I always keep on hand for when “sick” hits our house.
Advilยฎ Children’s Grape Fever Reducer and Pain Reliever Liquid – 4 fl oz
Sometimes, modern medicine is a welcome relief, especially if you have been up all night with an achy, cranky, emotional, feverish child. When a warm bath and snuggles won’t work, you can ease away their aches and pains, while reducing your childโs fever fast with Childrenโs Advilยฎ. It’s a great solution for kids as young as 2 and up to age 11. Childrenโs Advilยฎ actually comes in several flavors, including: Sugar-free Dye-free Berry, Bubble Gum, Grape, Blue Raspberry, Fruit and Dye-Free White Grape flavor (which is the one I always purchase). Thereโs also Infantsโ Advilยฎ White Grape, which is also dye-free and provides unsurpassed fever relief with a syringe so you can easily administer the dose to your child ages 6-23 months.
Children’s Robitussinยฎ Day/Night Cough Syrup – 2 count (4 Fl Oz each)
When things get really rough, then it’s time to break out the Children’s Robitussinยฎ DM Day/Night Pack (Childrenโs Robitussinยฎ Cough & Chest Congestion and Childrenโs Robitussinยฎ Nighttime Cough). The non-drowsy daytime formula helps break up chest congestion, while the long lasting nighttime formula helps to relieve coughs and runny noses so your child can rest easier.
Dimetappยฎ Children’s Cough/Cold DM grape syrup – 4 Fl Oz.
Is their coughing getting totally out of control and the hot cup of lemon water with honey isn’t cutting it? Then it’s probably time for Childrenโs Dimetappยฎ Cold & Cough. It tackles your childโs most bothersome symptoms like a 6ft bouncer. Stuffy and runny noses, don’t stand a chance against this stuff and it will relieve their coughing too.
**It is important to remember to always read and keep the cartons for complete warnings and dosing information on Pfizer Pediatric Platform products and to use only as directed!
There are a few other items I always keep in my medicine cabinet to help boost our immune systems to help prevent illness in the first place like echinacea, garlic, vitamin C and a few others! Asย Benjamin Franklinย said, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”!
