Special Disney sheets and pillow cases that are only used when one of the kids is sick. It makes them feel special.
I also rub vicks on the soles of their feet and then put their socks on. It seems to help when they have a cold.

I like the one of adding the flavouring to the medicine.

I love the two tissue boxes. Great idea. All fantastic tips.

Great tips.

Your tips are good.

Thanks for the tips – sickness is never a fun time.

By the onset of signs that a cold/flue it coming ( tickle in the throat, sting in the ear, blocked nose, muscle ache) we do some drops of hydrogen peroxide (3% for kids) in the ears. Also by continuous earaches we repeat it. We have the experience that it kills 4 out of 5 colds in the butt and have reduced the use of antibiotics greatly.

argh I am over sickness this year – my two seem to have a constant runny sniffly nose and right now both are suffering from an upper respiratory tract infection so are both on anitbotics – I feel more like a nurse than a mum, and I just know that as soon as they are both feeling better I will come down with something and then the vicious circle will start again!

Helpful tips. Having kids around when you’re sick is pretty horrible but having sick kids while you’re sick too is the worst!

Thanks for the great tips!

So many interesting tips! The one of the tissue boxes is splendid. That way you don’t have to touch used tissues.

It’s always hard when children are sick.

Great tips for mums with those sick little ones at home!
