Benefits of stocking up on kids cold and flu medicine

Viruses cause cold and flu, so there’s no cure, but symptomatic treatment eases your child’s discomfort. Standard remedies include paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever and pain, saline or humidifiers such as Vicks VapoRub for congestion, and honey for coughs in children over 1 year old. 

Children under six shouldn’t use OTC cold medicines like decongestants or cough suppressants due to potential harm. Instead, our range of Snufflebabe nasal aspirators is a brilliant option for this age group.
