Home Hacks for Cold + Flu

This post contains affiliate links.

Over the past 8 years of motherhood, I’ve learned a couple of tips + tricks that really help out when the whole house is sick:

  1. We use all disposable plates, bowls, cups, and silverware to save time and germs on dishes.
  2. I order simple + cheap disposable gloves to save my hands from washing so much after cleaning up.
  3. We diffuse a little Germ Fighter into the air. I put drops of Kick It Immune Kids into vitamin water to keep them hydrated and healing.
  4. At first sign of a tummy bug, every kid gets grape juice + activated charcoal to stop or minimize sickness.
  5. Have extra toothbrushes on hand to switch out after a sickness.
  6. Have extra chapsticks on hand for dry lips.
  7. Set out a couple of hand sanitizers in different rooms of the house for kids to use as needed.
  8. Keep an oximeter in the house to help gauge oxygen levels to help inform the doctor.
  9. Write out a medicine chart for each kid of who has taken how much and when so my husband and I are both aware of who gets what next.
  10. Little dose of Claritin to help prevent extra fluid build up that leads to ear infections in littles.
