I previously told you about the achoo by Kleenex cold and flu predictor. Yesterday, I shared with you top tips for flu prevention. Today, I want to share some cold and flu tips from Kleenex in case you do catch a nasty cold or the flu. One of my favorite things to use is a good old Kleenex along with Boogie Wipes. I use both. Soft, fluffy goodness as well as lotion and antiviral properties from a Kleenex brand tissue and moist healing from the Boogie Wipes if your children’s noses are running a lot and getting red. I also keep on-the-go packs in my purse and the kids backpacks. To avoid the day one scramble, stock up on Kleenex brand’s new thicker and more absorbent everyday tissue, which provides exceptional hand protection by helping to keep hands clean and dry.
Tips to feel better!
- Boost your immune system with Vitamin D – enjoying a little sunshine can help.
- To help reduce your fever, put wet towels around your shoulders instead of your forehead.
- Avoid using humidifiers when you’re sick – they can actually spread the flu germs.
- Not all liquids hydrate equally – stick to water, herbal tea and fruit juice when you’re sick.
Additional tips:
- Warm, clear broth, especially chicken can help ward off chills and make you feel better
- Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen help with fever and aches (check with your Dr. before use)
- Orange juice (Vitamin C) can help boost your immune system as well
- Get plenty of rest. While exercise is great for your immune system and metabolism, overdoing it while sick can make you feel worse.
- Use Kleenex to catch the yuck! Them promptly toss them in the trash.
Did you know?
- 96% of school nurses agree that when a child comes to school sick, other children tend to catch his or her virus.
