My family and I have absolutely HAD it with the cold and flu season this year. We have all been on antibiotics at least twice and had lingering colds that seem to last for decades! It's hard enough to slow down long enough to heal yourself, but trying to take care of your little one's while you are sick AND they are sick, is nearly impossible.
Just last month we landed in the ER three times with my daughter in the same week that resulted in her being admitted on our last minute because she had been wrongly diagnosed (again) and by this point required IV antibiotics and fluid to re-hydrate her. While all this fun was going on -- my hubby was home with the stomach bug that lasted a good 36 - 48 hours rendering him useless. The night prior I was double teaming taking care of them both. This was also my due date. The doc sent me to triage to make sure that the baby wasn't too stressed out with the lack of sleep, etc... FML.
Anyhow, this lovely cycle seemed endless to us and seem to be endless to many this season. We're exhausted as I assume many of you reading this are too.
Stumbled upon this little remedy today and wanted to see what you all thought of it as I plan on asking our pediatrician today what her thoughts are too.

I have heard many pediatricians recommend that you don't give your child any OTC meds such as this (other than acetaminophen and ibuprofen) until they are at least six. I've also hear many, many moms swear by natural, and other effective remedies such as these pictured here.
Just for discussion sake, I'd love your opinion. I will also follow-up later and let you know what our ped says.
Be well and stay healthy, friends!
