t never fails, my medicine cabinet is empty or everything is expired when we need it most. Today I’m talking about having the essentials when sick happens! This cold/flu allergy season, I’m prepared I tell you. Thanks to Pfizer Pediatric I am prepared! The month of April is a super busy month for me in regards to travel. As a matter of fact I just got back from Miami on Wednesday night and I took Aramis to the ER bc he was complaining about an ear ache last night. What did the ER doctor recommend? Infants’ and Children’s Advil® of course!
Having an arsenal in your medicine cabinet to keep your kids feeling better is key when you’re a parent. Pfizer products: Infants and Children’s Advil®, Children’s Robitussin® DM Day/Night Pack and Children’s Dimetapp® Cold & Cough are the ones to have too! Here’s some quick facts about each from our sponsor:
- Infants’ and Children’s Advil® provide unsurpassed fever and pain relief(1) , and contain ibuprofen, the medicine pediatricians use most for their own kids’ fevers(2) (for ages 6 months -11 years)
- Children’s Robitussin® provides soothing action and cough control with some formulations lasting up to 8 hours (for ages 6-12 years)
The night time formula is great to have to prevent sleepless nights when your kids aren’t feeling well. Sleep is key to recovery. 
- Children’s Dimetapp® provides great-tasting cold-fighting power and is the #1 pharmacist recommended brand for children’s cough & cold symptoms(3) (for ages 6+)
Where can you find all of these great products under one roof? Target of course! “Pfizer Pediatric wants to help you get prepared for the fevers, coughs, and colds coming your way this season, and Target has all of the Pfizer Pediatric products you need to fight against the “ick’s” and “ew’s” that bring your kids down. If Children’s Robitussin® for your family, there are solutions to help tackle even the ickiest of symptoms.”
Here’s three simple tips to keep your kids healthy and keep reading for the giveaway!
- Teach your kids to wash their hands! At daycare that’s the first and last thing kids do. Wash those little hands, well what about other times. I don’t recall Aramis washing his hands when he’s home. I know boys right.. But talk to your kids (boys and girls) about always washing their hands when they aren’t feeling well so that they don’t continue to spread the germs. It can become a never-ending cycle.
- Give your kids vitamins! It’s very hard to make sure our kids are getting all of their nutrients. My kids are picky so I have to make sure they get supplements like vitamins to stay healthy. Choose a great multi-vitamin for your kids that offers the maximum amount of nutrients.
- Cover their mouths when they cough! When I grew up it was cover your mouth, so naturally we used our hands. Now it’s recommended that you cough into the crook of your elbow. Well I’m teaching my kids to pull the neck of their shirts over their mouths and cough into their shirts. The fabric serves as a better barrier than a hand or elbow in my opinion.
*These recommendations are my own and I am not a medical specialist.. so there’s your disclosure on my tips. 😉
