If you're new here, please consider subscribing to Mommy Daddy Blog. We wouldn't want you to miss out on our updates or giveaways ;-)! Thanks for visiting!
When it comes to our child(ren) getting sick, the smallest little cough may send us into a frenzy. Below, you’ll discover some useful products to help keep the kiddos well, and a chance to win them all in one big healthy prize pack!
Baby MedBasics - These step-by-step guides cover the most common infant emergencies and how to respond to them. They are placed in a clever cover that hangs on a hook or stroller so they are always at your reach. There are tabbed sections for CPR, chocking, fever, bleeding, burns, and poison. There’s even a place to keep medical records and other vital information such a vaccine records. While writing this post, Jayden choked on a piece of wood that fell off of a wooden basket. I immediately thought of the choking page and put him over my thigh and gave him a back blow! How ironic and scary! He went on like nothing happened. This book is a must have, especially for caregivers!
Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer - This thermometer is the easiest I’ve ever used! It takes temperatures by gently stroking the temperature sensor across the forehead. There’s no poking around under the tongue, under the arms, or heiny! Studies have proven this thermometer to be more accurate than ear and at least as accurate as rectal. The Exergen Thermometer is definitely one that the whole family can use.
Triaminic Thin Strips - With the scare of parents mistaking teaspoon measurements for tablespoon, Triaminic Thin Strips are a pre-measured dose of medicine that dissolves quickly on the tongue, so parents know their child (age four and older) receives the intended dose, each time around.
Ice Packet - A small device that will do the talking for you in case of medical emergency. It is much like a USB flash drive, but programed to be used as a database of medical records, medications, immunization dates, allergies and insurance information. Ice Packet hooks right on keychains, a child’s book bag or on a lanyard.
Triaminic partnered with the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) to create Sick Day Guidelines to help parents make the right call on their child’s next sick day. For a chance to win an Exergen Thermometer, Baby MedBasics (home & travel), Triaminic Thin Strips (2 boxes), and an ICE Packet, leave a comment stating a Sick Day Guideline that you found useful! This giveaway is open to U.S. residents and will run until March 5th 2009 7PM CST.

this tip ‘Consider using a cool humidifier’ in how to make the sick chilc feel better actually works!
The guideline that I found useful was consider using a cool humidifier to make your child feel better.
Orange juice and chicken soup still help people get better faster. Make sure they have plenty of fluids.
I found this one useful: Colds can be contagious for at least 48 hours.
I always thought they were contagious all the time. Hmmmm.
Thanks!
This is very useful: Keep your child home until his or her fever has been gone for 24 hours without medication.
Thanks
I found this guideline useful: “Keep your child home until his or her fever has been gone for 24 hours without medication.” I didn’t realize the fever should be gone for 24 hours WITHOUT the medication.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Keep your child home until his or her fever has been gone for 24 hours without medication. I was always told 24 hours without a fever — but nothing was said about without medication. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!
It said you should keep your child home if they have Excessive tiredness or lack of appetite.
I love this advice:”Keep your child home until his or her fever has been gone for 24 hours without medication. Colds can be contagious for at least 48 hours. Returning to school too soon may slow the recovery process and can unnecessarily expose others to illness.” I wish that the schools were more supportive of this. My daughter got sick after her teacher came to school and was coughing all week and then my whole family became ill.
This is to good to be true.
I think the productive coughing and sneezing. I think too many parents (myself included), think that it’s okay to send our kid to school if they are coughing and sneezing, when in reality it is not just a health risk (mucus spraying etc) it is also very distracting in the classroom.
It says that you should consider keeping your child home if he or she has excessive tiredness or lack of appetite.
A minor sore throat is usually not a problem, but a severe sore throat could be strep throat even if there is no fever.
Keep your child home if they are sick.
