when kids have a cold...

[Tina71]

hi! I just got over a icky cold. Now, my son is getting it. What do you use for your little ones when they are getting a cold? We have our festival here all this week. I hate for him to feel bad for it!

Hi Tina,

I'm a big fan of Airborne. They also have Airborne Jr. for children. I take it whenever I've been around someone who is sick and it's always worked for me.

Here's a link and I think there's a coupon, too. http://www.airbornehealth.com/

Hope you're little guy can fight it.

Grapefruit seed extract! Works wonders! Here are a couple of links:

and

It has kept me from getting sick when both my son and husband were very sick, it helped them get better in just one day and kept my daughter also from getting sick.

I also use it as an all purpose cleaner, veggie wash and it has even cleared up my sons diaper rash!

oh, GFS extract is NASTY~!! good luck getting any kid to take it. We take oil of oregano (health food store, but you do need the North American Spice brand in liquid- works the best) 3 drops for kids twice a day in a big of juice, shoot it and chase it with more juice. Also Emergen-C, they make it for kids too, Health food store or Wal-Mart if you're lucky.

I put it in OJ, 15 drops and stir really well and drink right away and cannot taste a thing. My daughter has never complained either. I have accidently forgotten to stir and yes, that was horrendous! OJ really covers the taste well.

All good suggestions, but I would also suggest Oscillococcinum. It works for our family about 70% of the time, which is a great track record.
