NASN has published Sick Day Guidelines to help you make the right call when your child has a cold. Since one billion people annually get one, it is only a matter of time. If you are curious about illness in your area, check the Center of Disease Control and Prevention for information. Its SDI fan monitors for clusters of outbreaks.
Your dilemma is Johnny or Mary says he or she doesn’t feel well. Now you must decide what to do. Do the symptoms indicate an allergy problem or a cold? Do you know if it is a cold or a flu virus? When in doubt, consult a doctor. Read some tips on preventing. Don’t overmedicate. What you use should fit both the age and symptoms. Triaminic is trying to keep the general public up to speed and informed. Its website is easy to read, helpful, and practical.
Try to keep the patient comfortable. If over the counter medicine is needed, Triaminic has several. Check the package and follow directions. Consider using a portable vapor fan as well to lessen congestion and make breathing easier. It even has an on site babysitter care sheet for your temporary caretaker whenever you are out. Triaminic is committed to health care. If you have questions or comments, telephone it at 1-800-452-0051 24/7.
Triaminic has a a $1.50 printable coupon on its site. I really hope you won’t have to use it, but it is always good to know about any offer that saves you money.
