how do i keep my two year old from getting cold she gets them every other day!

[SherylsShado]

IMO, I think this has just been a bad year for colds.  I'm not sure if the weather has something to do with it or not but I've never had a year where I have had to buy so much cold medicines/kleenex/cough drops to function.  I've averaged about three colds every two months since last October...and it's not just me but my co-workers, and aquaintances also.  All the hand sanitizer, anti-bacterial cleaning products, hand-washing, taking extra vitamins & vitamin C--- just doesn't seem to help anything...everyone is still sick all winter long.

Clean and sanitize your home thoroughly to keep colds away.  Don't forget to clean his/her toys.

I have had a cold since Christmas.  You might want to get a humidifier for her bedroom. My humidifier is so helpful.  Also be sure that she stays hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids. Chicken soup helps too.  I hope she gets better soon.

[hensleyll]

thank you ,she is feeling better today!

I would definitely try to clean everything to prevent colds.

I HAVE HAD A COLD SINCE TWO WEEKS AGO.  YOU MAY NEED TO GET YOU A HUMIDIFIER FOR YOUR BEDROOM. IT DOES IT VERY MUCH.

Put on some Vicks rub on her chest, back  under her nose and her temples before she goes to sleep. she will be good to go in the morning. worked for my kids every time!

ooh yes, i love the vapor rubs! there's an off brand at walmart
that is very inexpensive and i believe it's organic. it's a menthol
cream and it does everything vick's does. i don't have kids, but
i use it as soon as i feel signs of a cold! i haven't had one in a
few years

SLEEP!!! Getting enough sleep every night is good for your immune system.

Vitamin D supports the immune system too.
