Sick Just Got Real #SummerTravel #SickJustGotReal #sponsored

It happens . . . it might even be inevitable: when you’re in strange environments traveling with the kids, they come down with a cold or the flu. With all the time, money and energy you’ve poured into planning your family vacation, it seems such a shame to have everything be ruined for everyone. And, of course, nobody wants to see their little ones in pain and under the weather. And so, you’re faced with the fact that Sick just got real.™

The smart thing to do is to plan ahead of time. After all, whether you’re on the highway, camping or in a secluded area devoid of pharmacies, you still want to be able to come to your child’s rescue! Be prepared for a number of contingencies, a variety of potential illnesses.

Depending on how old you are, you may remember squirming and hollering when it came time “to take your medicine”. It tasted awful! It added to the painful experience. Now, there’s Children’s Advil®*, a great solution for kids as young as 2 and up to 11. Children’s Advil® comes in several kid-friendly flavors, including: Sugar-free Dye-free Berry, Bubble Gum, Grape, Blue Raspberry, Fruit and Dye-Free White Grape flavors. There’s also Infants’ Advil® White Grape, which provides unsurpassed fever relief (among OTC pain relievers) with a syringe for easy dosing for children 6-23 months. These are the kind of mild, sweet flavors that will make your job easier.

Almost nothing is as sad to listen to – or as wearing for you – as hearing your child with a heavy cough that keeps everyone up all night. And, since you’re in charge of either driving or getting everyone to the train or plane, it’s crucial to nip that hacking in the bud. For your child’s cough, you’ll be glad you packed Children’s Robitussin® Extended-Release 12 Hour Cough Relief to control and relieve symptoms all-day or all- night. Available in grape or orange flavor, for children ages 4 and up. Please note, certain Children’s Robitussin® products are only suitable for children ages 6 and up.

With careful preparation, your family vacation will be carefree.
