Feel better this cold and flu season with Vicks Feel Better Friend DayQuil/NyQuil Cold & Flu Relief... gets you back to the business of mommyhood.... #spon #momcentral

Vicks DayQuil and NyQuil Cold and Flu Relief

As a mom of two boys, I am always on the go, rushing off to drop off and pick up at school, therapy appointments for my oldest, and extra curricular activities for both. I am exhausted just typing out some of our schedule, which does not include running errands, planning and cooking meals and taking care of hubby, too. It’s fast paced chaos around here 24/7 and some days just whirl right by me! As a mom, I keep the family together and running in every sense of the word. I cannot slow down for sickness….

During the dreaded winter cold and flu season, I step it up and make sure everyone is practicing good basic hygiene, like washing their hands and not sharing drinks with one another, etc. It’s a chore with my boys! We do not get a flu shot here, mainly due to an egg allergy, so I am especially a nervous nelly during flu season. In spite of our very best efforts, we sometimes cannot dodge the dreaded cold or flu bug. When it hits our home, it is most likely to run through our entire family.

When my children are sick, I am beside myself and they get the absolute best care, meds and attention, no matter what mountains I have to move. During those times, I get even less sleep and I am more susceptible to catching a bug, with added stress and worry over my family, I end up fighting off the left over germs, wiping down counter’s, doing extra laundry and pretty soon, I am exhausted and…..sick.

I know that I am absolutely vital to our family and basically, mom cannot get down, in any way….Therefore, even through the sniffles and chills, I still have to be alert during the day to do all of those things I stated earlier, because the world still goes on, even though I am sick. Vicks DayQuil Cold & Flu Relief keeps you upright and able to suppress your symptoms to make it through your day. You may not feel 100%, but just getting a nudge to help through the day is worth it’s weight in gold. As the day comes to a close, I can get hubby to take over and catch up on some much needed rest. It’s hard to rest when you are sneezing or just plain miserable and Vicks NyQuil Cold & Flu Relief gets you to sleep fast, so that your body can get to work on repairing your weakened immune system. Rest is sometimes the best medicine and if you can get that precious sleep in, you will be on your way to getting better.
