Kids & Colds

The common cold is, well, common. So is how we tend to combat it. We send out an S.O.S. for more tissue, cold medicine, chicken noodle soup and then drag ourselves back to bed until we can function again. While more rest is definitely in order when your are not feeling well, there is more you can do to not only start feeling better sooner, but also to protect yourself from catching the next round of the common cold.

Ever wonder why so many people get sick as soon as the winter months are upon us?
