So I was fine and then I wasn’t. We all know we will get sick, but are you prepared for it? Lots of stuff going around this time of year once the kids get back in school and the temperatures change. Here is my list of sick must haves.
- Soup. Grab some cans of soup and keep them in the cabinet. I usually make it from scratch, but who cares when you are sick.
- Tissues with lotion. When your nose is running off your face, you want soft tissues. They also sell some tissues with Vicks in them.
- Puffs with Vicks AND lotion are nice when you are stuffy. You can find them here or at your local store.
- When your throat starts scratching you will want to have tea. My favorites are Twinings Pomegranate and Raspberry or Bigelow Orange & Spice. POMEGRANATE LINK ORANGE LINK
- Multi-symptom cold medicine is a must. NyQuil, Tylenol Cold, Aleve Cold any of them work. Consider whether you need the behind the counter D version for the decongestant.
- Musinex! If you have drainage, you need Musinex.
- Clorox Wipes or Lysol. Everyone else doesn’t need to also be sick.
- Cough drops.
- Vicks rub or Vicks sticks LINK
- Diffuser or plug in.
- Neti pot if you are comfortable with those.
- Popsicles and if you can’t get out and get those you can keep freezer pops on hand. LINK
Advice my brother in law was given for the bad flu – go in the hottest shower you can stand and beat your chest as hard as you can to loosen it up and cough it out.
Can you think of anything else? Feel better soon!
