One of the main struggles we have as a family is keeping our children healthy. Our kids have been prone to coughs and colds and almost every other month or so they get sick. Even if only one child is sick, because they play with each other constantly, sooner or later the other one catches the same sickness as well (except for tummy aches or gastro-related illnesses). Right now, the kids are recovering from another bout of coughs and colds but it seems that they are holding up pretty well this time. We’ve been vigilant in beefing up their diet supplements, lots of rest and lots of fluids and I think because they’ve had their flu shots for the year a few weeks back, turn around time is much better this time. The flu shots were a bit expensive especially because it cost us double but anyway, the relief of not having to deal with the sickness longer than its normal course is worth it. Whew!
So don’t forget, an ounce of prevention is always better (and much cheaper) than a pound of cure. Stay healthy, folks!
