Prevent COVID-19 from hurting our kids by watching out for these symptoms and adding these must-have medicines to your COVID-19 care kit at home.

Vaccinations may be rolling out for kids but that’s not all they can rely on. It takes some extra nutrients to build up their immune system so they can go out safely or some Paracetamol to mitigate the side effects of the vaccination. Here are some things to be more aware of when preparing your kids to go out and preventing them from getting hit by COVID-19 while adding a few of these meds to your COVID-19 care kit in case the symptoms kick in.

Weakened Immunity

Frequent headaches, loss of appetite, and overall lethargy may mean our kids’ immune system is down and as a result, they may be more vulnerable to catching viruses like COVID-19. That is why it is important to strengthen their immunity through daily supplementation with (Ascorbic Acid + Zinc) Ceelin Plus. Vitamin C strengthens one’s outer defenses, while Zinc keeps the body strong from the inside. (Ascorbic Acid + Zinc) Ceelin Plus with Vitamin C and Zinc provides double protection for fully loaded immunity. In the event of sickness, this combination is also known to aid in faster recovery. Ask your doctor about 1.5-2x RDA dosing when your child is sick.

Colds

Colds can be a sign of anything from just a typical cold to COVID-19 which is why you need to get rid of them as soon as possible. These things, like coughs, have mucus which makes it easier for germs to invade the body. It’s usually in the form of a runny nose, clogged nose, watery eyes. (Chlorphrenamine Maleate Paracetamol) Neozep Syrup is meant for colds and works as a decongestant, being the Complete Colds Relief Solution by melting down the mucus.

Coughs

Coughs, most especially dry coughs, were one of the most prominent symptoms in COVID-19 especially when it’s whooping. Coughs usually occur because there’s thick phlegm in the throat. And in most cases, it’s so sticky that kids end up puking their meals in hopes of coughing out the phlegm. (Carbocisteine) Pambatang Solmux is the No. 1 pedia-prescribed mucolytic that melts phlegm so it’s easier to get rid of. By melting the mucus, the bacteria gets kicked out and kids get to breathe and sleep easier through the night.

Fever

Fever is usually what sets off the alarms which causes parents to panic if symptoms are more than a common cough or cold or if it could be COVID-19. When Omicron was known to show mild but persistent fever as its main symptom, parents hoarded anti-fever medicine causing pharmacies to run out almost immediately. So it is wise to keep a bottle of (Paracetamol) Biogesic for Kids stashed in our COVID Care Kit to fight off your kids’ fever. It also comes in handy when fever and pain kick in after your child’s vaccination.

Fill up your COVID care kit with these medicines to stay prepared

The war against COVID-19 isn’t over yet. Not until COVID-19 is declared endemic. Although children may be vaccinated, preventing COVID-19 from infecting our kids is still our no.1 priority. While waiting for our kids’ booster shots, make sure our COVID-19 care kits are well-stocked for a fight. At the same time, they’ll need vitamins with proper nutrition and exercise. Although things may be looking better, make sure to stay stocked by ordering from your local drugstores which you can find via their website.

However, if symptoms persist, make sure to consult your doctors!
