What Kids Want When They Are Sick!

disclosure-for-site

February 13, 2017 Carlee at Fun Learning Life 103 Comments

“This post has been sponsored by Pfizer Consumer Healthcare and 20th Century Fox. All thoughts and reviews are my own.”*

Knock on wood my kiddos currently are not suffering from any stomach bugs or colds, but it is definitely going around.

Since we are right smack dab in the middle of cold and flu season, I am prepared as I can be for when the moment arises. However, I thought it would be interesting to ask my kiddos, What Kids Want When They Are Sick.

Here are a some of the answers my children shared when I asked “What Kids Want When They Are Sick”:

1. Chicken Soup and Tomato Soup

2. DVDs to watch

3. Comfortable jammies

4. I want you (Mom)

5. My stuffed Bunny

6. Herbal Tea

7. Coloring Books and Crayons

8. A book to read

9. A soft blanket

Now in regards to what they need…

This Mom knows when my kids are sick that they may need a visit to the Doctor, as well as lots of tender loving care. They need an isolated spot to recuperate along with understanding and patience for whatever is getting them down. In order to keep them quarantined as well as comfortable, I am sure to keep stocked with the proper medications as well as items needed to get us through the illness.

Thanks to Pfizer Pediatric Products like Children’s Advil® Suspension, Grape (ages 2-11), Children’s Robitussin® Cough & Chest Congestion (ages 4+), and Children’s Dimetapp® Cough & Cold (ages 6+) I am covered with my OTC medications.

Ease those aches and pains, while reducing a child’s fever fast with Children’s Advil®, a great solution for kids as young as 2 and up to 11. 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. There’s also Infants’ Advil® White Grape, which provides unsurpassed fever relief among OTC pain relievers with a syringe for easy dosing for children 6-23 months.

Formulated just for kids, Children’s Robitussin® Children’s Robitussin® Cough & Chest Congestion for ages 4+ non-drowsy daytime formula helps break up chest congestion.

All in a great tasting grape flavor, Children’s Dimetapp® Cold & Cough tackles a child’s most bothersome stuffy and runny noses, all while working to relieve cough, for ages 6+.

Plus, I have my Sick Day Survival Kit stocked with a humidifier, tissues, an empty garbage can (for upset bellies and tissues), and plenty of fluids. Not to mention, I have a shelf full of DVDS to keep them entertained and in one spot (This was a priority my kiddos list of What Kids Want When They Are Sick).

Don’t get caught off guard when your child is sick!

    Isn't it the worst to have sick kids? Our daughter has a bad cold right now. It's so important to keep OTC mess on hand for when our daughter gets sick. The last thing we want to do is to run out to the store with a sick child or to have her wait for relief. Our three year old daughter wants tissues, blankets, apple juice and her mom and dad when she's sick.

    I make sure they have their blanket and "friend" (favorite stuffed animal), lots of water to drink, tissues, chicken noodle soup, and pretzels. If they are really ill, they stay in bed and I check on them frequently. If well enough, I haul in pillows and fleece throws and make a nest on the sofa so they will be comfortable. Movies, music, books to read and coloring books are all within easy reach. Some good snuggle and reading time help.
