Spring may officially arrived but that doesn’t mean you are still not susceptible to colds and flu over the next few months. My daughter and I have been sniffling and have had a stopped up nose for days.
Stave off Spring colds with these 5 Tips and be a cold hero so everyone can carry on.
- Wash your hands – Wash your hands especially before touching your own or a loved one’s eyes, nose or mouth. When traveling, it is impossible to avoid contact with surfaces that many others may have touched. To avoid those bugs contaminating your family, wash your hands.
- Sanitize everything! – One of the first ways to ruin a vacation together is catching a cold on the plane. Carry antibacterial wipes and wipe down every surface you may touch on the plane. Wipe the belt buckle, food tray and latch, volume control, and armrests. The airline crew cannot clean all these surfaces between flights which can harbor contagious viruses and bacteria.
- Be proactive – Kleenex has a brand new type of tissue – Kleenex Anti-Viral now available at Walmart. Active ingredients in the middle of the layers of Kleenex Anti-Viral kill 99.9% of cold and flu viruses in the tissue within 15 minutes.* What’s great about Kleenex Anti-Viral is how soft it is when blowing your nose. That makes a difference if you are constantly blowing your nose when you have the flu.
- Be prepared – Carry medications with you to minimize the impact of a cold or illness so you can all still enjoy your trip. Useful medications include analgesia or allergy medications for adults and children. Adults may also want to have some decongestants handy just in case.
- Be healthy – Good hydration, good nutrition and exercise go a long way to giving the body the support it needs to stay strong.
Look for the four pack of Kleenex Anti-Viral at your local Walmart store or at Walmart.com. Be a cold hero by using Kleenex Anti-Viral to help shorten your cold which helps minimize the chances of spreading the cold onto your family members.
*Disclaimer: In the tissue in 15 minutes. Virucidal against: Rhinoviruses Type 1A and 2 (Rhinoviruses are the leading cause of the common cold); Influenza A and Influenza B (causes of the flu); Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV – the leading cause of lower respiratory infection in children).
