It’s November and we’ve already passed around a few colds and viruses in our house. That’s a good sign of the type of winter it’s going to be, and it’s not going to be pretty. With two kids attending school I worry about what they will bring home after being surrounded by other kids and sharing germs.
It’s always been tough dealing with the kids’ colds because you can’t give them traditional medicines like decongestants, and normally you have to rely on other non-medicinal ways to help soothe cold symptoms.
Here are 5 tips on how to stay healthy during cough and cold season:
1) Wash hands at every chance you get with hot water and soap, scrubbing for at least 20 seconds.
2) Disinfect surfaces. Keep the areas in your home clean, especially surfaces on which you eat and prepare food and things you touch often such as the telephone, toilet handle, the remote control, etc.
3) Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands. This is a mistake I always make.
4) Eat a healthy diet, and get daily exercise. A healthy body can fight disease more effectively.
5) Show courtesy for others and stay home when you are sick. If everyone did this, a lot less people would be getting sick in the first place.
Great tips for this Cough and cold season. My daughters are having trouble in every winter season. I used to follow some home remedies. This Cough+Immune Support looks like a better choice. Berry flavor is an added advantage So that I can feed my kids easily.
My son could use this. It’s about to be really bad weather season and he always brings home a cold or two during that time.
Great tips – I am sadly one of those people that when they come down with a cold them come down hard, so anything to try and keep them at bay is good for me :) x
It’s my little girl’s first cold season, so we would love to have this at home to be prepared!
My little one could really use Little Remedies this time of the year!
Washing hands for the win! I touch my face with unwashed hands all the time, such a bad habit :/
my little grandson, who is 2, needs this……..we have him every weekend and he gets a lot of colds!
Point number five is so important. Don’t send your kids to school sick, and don’t go to work sick!
My youngest could definitely use some Little Remedies. It’s that time of year.
We use their products often! We always have some in our cabinet.
