Staying Well in the Season of Sickness #SickJustGotReal |

Nothing is worse than when you have a sick child. Am I right? Especially when that child has the dreaded “stomach bug“. I can just about handle anything but throw up! Right before we went on Christmas vacation Connor had a bad stomach bug and he woke Terence and I up in the middle of the night screaming. He tried to make it to the bathroom, but unfortunately didn’t get there in time…and wouldn’t you know it the ONE TIME that the toilet lid isn’t up is when he threw up all over it! Boys….seriously???

We try to get through it the best we can as parents. I’m so thankful for modern-day medicine and that we can give our children the best treatment possible. Pfizer pediatric products are my go to when we have a sick kiddo in the house. They are my tried and true remedies for colds and fevers.

The pediatric brands of Pfizer Consumer Healthcare are there with three solutions – Children’s Advil®, Children’s Robitussin® and Children’s Dimetapp® – to tackle the ickiest of symptoms.

Flavor is everything too to Connor. If it doesn’t taste good, he isn’t swallowing it. My child has the worst gag reflex and will spit up just about everything.

FEVER: Children’s Advil® comes in several great-tasting flavors, including: Sugar-free Dye-free Berry, Bubble Gum, Grape, Blue Raspberry, Fruit and Dye-Free White Grape flavors. Connor actually enjoys taking the medicine because it tastes so good! Ha ha!

Other great products:

COUGH: Children’s Robitussin® Extended-Release 12 Hour Cough Relief to control and relieve symptoms all-day or all- night. Available in grape or orange flavor, for children ages 4 and up. Please note, certain Children’s Robitussin® products are only suitable for children ages 6 and up.

COLD & COUGH:Children’s Dimetapp® Multi-Symptom Cold Relief Dye-Free eases your child’s stuffy and runny nose, while quieting a bothersome cough. All in a great-tasting grape flavor that’s dye-free, for children ages 6 and up.

*It is important to remember to always read and keep the cartons for complete warnings and dosing information on Pfizer Pediatric products and to use as directed.

If you have a friend who has a sick child send over a care package. I found this cute little Valentine’s mailbox at Target for $3. Pack it with your favorite cold remedies, some tissues, and a stuffed animal 🙂 Also, make sure you wash your hands frequently. Connor puts his hands on everything and rolls around the floor…I have no idea why, but kids are kids and they do some nasty stuff! I know as a Mom when your child is sick at times you feel helpless, especially when EVERYONE in the house gets sick too. A care package is a great way to show someone you care about them.
