I recently told you how to avoid germs during cold season, but what about when they get through all of your diligent efforts to keep them at bay? What do you do then? There are lots of products out there that can help you and your family feel better during cold season when coughs and runny noses just keep getting passed from family member to family member. Here are five great products that can help ease the pain of the common cold!
Boogie Wipes
Oh, Boogie Wipes! Cute name, amazing product.
Boogie Wipes are soft, wet wipes with saline in them. They are perfect for little runny noses because they are so much softer than a tissue. They contain no alcohol, phthalates or parabens so they are very gentle. They easily wipe away the runny nose boogies without drying out your kids’ face. And if the kids have been out playing and the “boogies†have dried onto their faces, the saline wipes gently remove them. My favorite scent is the fresh scent, but they also come in Great Grape, Magic Menthol, and Simply Unscented.
As a mom, there are only a few products that I couldn’t do without. Boogie Wipes is definitely one of them. And the makers of Boogie Wipes recently introduced Saline Soothers, an adult version of Boogie Wipes and they work just as well.
Kleenex Cool Touch Tissues
Kleenex Cool Touch tissues will literally save your poor nose from becoming raw and chapped. These tissues actually feel cool to the touch, so imagine how soothing it would feel on your raw nose after blowing your nose about a hundred times a day!
Zarbees Natural Cough Syrup
Zarbees Natural Cough Syrup contains buckwheat honey to coat your child’s throat and calm his cough. It’s full of immune-boosting ingredients and vitamins. And because it’s all natural, you can rest a little easier when you have to give it to your child for days on end to help them feel better. I was only recently introduced to this product by a friend who swears by it. I will definitely be using it this season!
VioLight’s UV Toothbrush Sanitizers
One of the things that doctors say to do is to get rid of toothbrushes if you have strep throat. Okay, that makes sense, but what about when you are just trying to keep everybody from catching a cold or the flu?
Enter VioLight UV Toothbrush Sanitizers. This UV toothbrush sanitizer destroys up to 99.9 of germs. It also comes with a free toothbrush as well. I’ve read lots of reviews about this product, and many of them say it works perfectly and effectively, and others say it does not. Have you tried these? What did you think about their performance?
