It’s Back-to-School Time! Are You Ready for the Inevitable Back-to-School Germs?
Kids everywhere (and parents too!) are ready to head back to school. Pencils, notebooks and book bags have all been purchased and brand new outfits have been picked out for the ever-important first day of school. But are you ready for the inevitable germs, which increase your whole family’s chances of getting sick, as your child rejoins classrooms full of kids on a daily basis?
You can be prepared to tackle cold and flu germs this year with these helpful tips from the Mayo Clinic and our safe and natural homeopathic medicines.
– Wash your hands. Frequent hand washing is the simplest and most effective way to prevent illness. Remind your child to wash his hands before eating and after using the toilet, blowing his nose, or playing outside. Soap up for as long as it takes to sing the “Happy Birthday” song.
– Use hand sanitizer. Give your child alcohol-based sanitizer to keep at his desk and use before eating snacks or lunch or after using shared classroom objects. You can also donate disinfecting wipes to the classroom for general use.
– Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. Give your child a pack of tissues to keep in his desk, and encourage him to sneeze or cough into a tissue or the crook of his elbow, and then wash his hands or use hand sanitizer.
- Don’t share water bottles, food or other personal items. Here’s a simple rule for your children to remember: If you put the item in your mouth, keep it to yourself!
And don’t forget—eat a healthy diet, get plenty of sleep, and be prepared by keeping homeopathic cough, cold and flu medicines on-hand at all times. Children’s Oscillo (flu-like symptoms), Children’s Chestal (coughs), and Children’s Coldcalm Pellets (cold symptoms) are safe, natural medicines that work best at the first sign of symptoms. Available at select major retailers and local natural product stores nationwide, you can use our store locator to find the nearest store that carries our products. Visit our new Children’s Oscillo and Children’s Chestal websites for product information, healthy living tips, coupons, and social media links, and have a great first day of school!
