I don’t know about you guys but as the mother of a seven month old in pre-school I HATE this time of year. It seems everywhere I turn someone is coughing or sneezing and the most dreaded word, “flu,” is passed around almost as a bragging right. “Yes my daughter has the flu.” “We were out of school last week with the flu.” AHHHH!
So what measures am I taking to help keep my family safe from the cold and flu and ready if disaster strikes? First of all we wash hands. ALL THE TIME. Yes, even my 7 month old has his hands washed every time I think of it. Those cute little babies are germ sucker uppers so by washing our hands we are helping kill as many germs as possible. We also drink a lot of water. Well my husband and I do. The more we can flush everything out of our systems the better. Last but not least we all three got the flu shot. My son couldn’t have it until 6 months but you better bet with him being in preschool I made sure he could get it when he was old enough.
On my recent Walmart trip, I grabbed a package of DayQuil & NyQuil Severe just to be prepared in case disaster strikes! After all, I know what it’s like to be down for days at a time because of the flu…believe me when I say it’s totally miserable! As I mentioned, the preschool my son is in has had several flu outbreaks and it seems like everyone is passing the virus back and forth between each other. Folks, I can’t get the flu! You better believe I will be taking DayQuil & Nyquil Severe at the first sign of a cold or flu. See the benefits of using DanQuill & NyQuil below…
