Be Prepared for Cold and Flu Season

November 20, 2019March 7, 2023 Natalie 29 comments
Be Prepared for Cold and Flu Season

Cold and flu season is right around the corner! With the unpredictability of North Carolina’s winter weather, ranging from 70-degree days to sub-20-degree temperatures within the same week, it is crucial to be ready for the cold and flu season. As Hailey attends high school and I work as a chef at Elon University, we come into contact with many people on a daily basis. By taking preventative measures to reduce the spread of germs, we can be better prepared for the onset of sickness.

Although getting sick can be unpredictable, there are three simple tips that can help you prepare for the upcoming cold and flu season. While it may seem crazy, the fluctuations in weather can lead to an increase in sickness. Nonetheless, by implementing these tips, you can help safeguard yourself against the spread of illness.

Be Prepared for Cold + Flu Season with these 3 Tips

Disinfect Everything

This goes beyond disinfecting the toys that the kids play with, which is what you should do monthly anyways. I’m talking phones, laptops, computer’s mouse & keyboards, remotes. Things around the house that people interactive with daily, things that you don’t always think about.

Anything that it’s touched on the daily in the house and car. You are able to put non-electronic toys and items through the dishwasher. You can get some disinfection wipes and wipe down counters, door knobs and sinks daily, to help keep germs to a minimum.

Proper Hand Washing

During cold and flu season, we prefer to keep our medicine cabinet well-stocked. To keep things simple, we make sure to have basic items such as vapor rub, saline nose spray, multivitamins, and Children’s Delsym on hand.

Keep Medicine Cabinet Stocked

During the cold and flu season, we prefer to keep our medicine cabinet fully stocked at all times. I prefer to keep things simple by including essential items such as vapor rub, saline nose spray, multivitamins, and Children’s Delsym in our collection.

There are several reasons why I love Delsym cough medicine. One of the main reasons is that it contains only one active ingredient that is designed to effectively alleviate cough symptoms, and it is completely free from pain relievers, sulfites, and alcohol.

You can purchase Children’s Delsym at your nearby Walmart to have a reliable cough medication for your kids in your medicine cabinet, and it can last for up to 12 hours. This product is available in two different flavors: orange and grape. In my family, we prefer the orange-flavored medicine. What’s your favorite flavor?

Have you tried Children’s Delsym? What’s your must have in the medicine cabinet?

    My daughter works at FedEx handling all those packages and at a Daycare so it’s like a double whammy of germs! I’ve never tried Dylsym but I will have to try it out.

    It has started to get cold here so those tips are good to keep in mind to avoid coughs and colds. I have to try Delsym for my son who always gets rundown in winter and is susceptible.

    The last thing you want to (or should) do whwn you’re sick is go shopping. It’s so nice when you already have relief on hand.

    Cold and flu season is the worst. I just got my flu shot last monday and of course now I’m feeling run down. But our weather keeps bouncing back and forth between fall and winter temperatures. That is enough to make anyone sick. I need to give Delsym a try and see if I can fight off this sinus infection. I’m hoping that I don’t have a mild case of the flu. *crosses fingers*

    My granddaughter just got a cold. She sucks her thumb and I always carry antibacterial wipes to wipe her hands but she always gets sick. I have some Delsym in the medicine cabinet for her.

    When all 5 of my kids lived at home, I used to worry about the transfer of germs, but we were pretty lucky and they didn’t spread like crazy. My mom always has some Delsym in the medicine cabinet. She’s living with us now, so we’re prepared!

    Yes I trust Delsym for cough and cold as kids can have good sleep without waking up.

    I think the name of the game is trying to be as germ free as possible. Since I go into lot of schools during the school year, I am constantly washing my hands and carrying disinfectant wipes. Cannot be too safe.

    I think keeping a clean and sanitized hygiene will reduce on sickness dramatically. Definitely cleaning things we use regularly like our cells phones can help us keep flu at bay.

    We have lysol wipes all over our house. At least once a week, I wipe every remote, phone, faucet, door handle, and lock with them.

    Both of my girls do gymnastics and the gym is filled with nasty snot monsters! It is essential to have sanitizer everywhere until we can get home and wash hands!
    Great tip about using this cough syrup! Thanks! =)
