Quick Relief for Sick Kids
With the changing of seasons to cooler temperatures, often comes flu bugs. I like having an arsenal on hand, just in case I need some relief for sick kids. Recently I was sent some sample of non-medicated soothing relief for fevers, and think it’s a pretty slick idea. BeKOOOL makes soft gel sheets you can apply to a hot little forehead, for cooling relief that lasts up to 8 hours.
Tapping into my Old School tricks, I like to give my kids a cool washcloth for their forehead when they are sick. They do find it very relieving, but of course the washcloth is wet and doesn’t stay in place long on a tossing child.
BeKOOOL non-messy sheets will stay with them, and seem like a great alternative. It’s ok to use them in addition to medicine, and a packet of 2 sheets is easy to pack and take along when you travel. I definitely plan to try them out the next time anyone in my household is sick.

We’ve never had the flu before. For colds, I like hot showers even for my boys. Helps clear out some of the nasties especially in their noses.

Once you have the flu, most treatments are just supportive – fluids, rest, etc. I recommend that everyone get vaccinated (unless immunocompromised) to drastically reduce the risk of catching influenza.

My first tip is proper hand washing to avoid the flu altogether. I have 3 children, one of whom with severe respiratory issues so getting the flu is very dangerous for her. I would make sure they stayed hydrated and rest.
