Triaminic Thin Strips For Your Children Giveaway

Yes, it's cold and flu season again. My son actually stayed home from school yesterday. He has a slight temperature and a cough. He seems to be feeling better today.

My kids have never been big on taking medicine. It has always been difficult to get them to take any over the years. But the one thing I discovered when they first came out were the Triaminic Thin Strips. They are great because they help ensure accurate dosing by providing a pre-measured dose of medicine that dissolves quickly on the tongue.

My kids actually don't give me such a hard time about medicine with the Triaminic Thin Strips!

Triaminic has also put together a two helpful online tools to help you and your family get through the cold and flu season. First is The Sick Day Guidelines, created in partnership with the National Association of School Nurses. These are guidelines that will help parents determine when they should keep their kids home, or weather they can go to school. Check out the Triaminic Sick Day Guidelines for more information.

Another helpful online tool is the Cold & Flu Tracker. There you will be able to track cold & flues in your area. I checked mine and it said it was moderate at our state capitol.

  1. Great site with lots of good information.

    I had no idea that young children can be infectious for up to 6 days before their symptoms appear.

    Would love to give this a try next time the flu hits our house...

  3. I learned that colds can be contagious for 48 hours... I've been struggling with one now and we just keep passing it back and forth. Not fun! It was a very interesting site, and I learned a few tips that I will be putting to good use too!

  13. I found it interesting that 83% of parents worried that they
    might have sent their child back to school too soon at least once.

  14. Keep your child home until his or her fever has been gone for 24 hours without medication -- I would have thought soon as the fever is gone, the child is fine, because usually the child "snaps" right back into action and wants to get moving again once the fever is gone.

  15. I found the sick day guidelines tip sheet really helpful -- going to print that off and keep it handy for a reminder

  22. I learned that headache and upset stomach were some not-so-obvious (to me , anyway!) signs of strep throat.
