As a kid, there’s nothing more exciting than being out of school for the year and enjoying the summer time. As a parent, you want to make sure your kids stay healthy throughout the summer months.
There’s something about traveling that always brings out the sickness, right? We always think about getting sick during the school year, passing it around school and bringing it home. The thing is though, germs are everywhere. Whether you’re heading to an amusement park, the beach, or a museum, you’ll encounter those bad boys.
Nothing will ruin summer travel like a sick kid.
Be prepared for your next Sick Just Got Real.™ moment this summer by taking along some essentials. Whether you’re camping in the woods or staying at a fancy resort, the last thing you want to do is run out to store and buy meds on the fly for your sick kiddo. We’ve done it. It’s stressful and usually not easy on the wallet.
Honestly, even if you’re visiting family – like we did in Kentucky last month, still bring your own meds. What people have on hand is not always what’s right for your child.
When sick gets real, the pediatric brands of Pfizer Consumer Healthcare are there with three solutions – Children’s Advil®, Children’s Robitussin® and Children’s Dimetapp® – to tackle the ickiest of symptoms.
Kiddo spiked a fever? For kids as young as 2 and up to 11, you can turn to Children’s Advil® to reduce a fever fast and ease those aches and pains. Children’s Advil® comes in several great-tasting flavors, including: Sugar-free Dye-free Berry, Bubble Gum, Grape, Blue Raspberry, Fruit and Dye-Free White Grape flavors. There’s also Infants’ Advil® White Grape, which provides unsurpassed fever relief (among OTC pain relievers) with a syringe for easy dosing for children 6-23 months.
What about a cough? You can trust Children’s Robitussin® Extended-Release 12 Hour Cough Relief to control and relieve symptoms all-day or all-night! Available in grape or orange flavor, for children ages 4 and up. Please note, certain Children’s Robitussin® products are only suitable for children ages 6 and up.
I know our kids always wind up with stuffy and runny noses during the summer. For kids ages 6 and up, turn to Children’s Dimetapp® Multi-Symptom Cold Relief Dye-Free to ease that stuffy and runny nose, while also quieting a bothersome cough. All in a great-tasting grape flavor that’s dye-free.

My tip would be sure to check and see if your health insurance covers where you travel. If your child gets very sick or injured, it can be costly if she/he needs to go to the doctor.
