Preparing for Cold & Flu Season with Vicks and Braun #Giveaway

Vicks Logobraun logo

Nowadays that we are in the middle of a cold and flu season, it is important that we are always ready and have all the essential things we need in order to keep our families, most especially the kids healthy. Aside from the different medications for the usual sicknesses such as colds, cough and fever we should also have the small items that can be used to prevent and control these things from happening.

Braun ThermoScan Ear Thermometer

A sample of the Braun Thermo Scan Ear Thermometer was given to me for a review and to also check how effective and useful it is. For several days I have been using this product to regularly check my children – my fourteen-month-old son and five-year-old daughter’s temperature. Upon researching more on this product, I stumbled upon great reviews about it, most of which are written by mothers who are very satisfied on the products uses. They greatly recommend the Braun Thermo Scan Ear Thermometer even it is said to cost a little higher compared to the ones already present in the market. I have been using it for a few days and I can honestly say that it already gives me a sense of satisfaction because I can see that I can really rely on it especially on days when my kids aren’t feeling well. It is very accurate as it uses a pre-warmed tip and a unique position guidance system that will ensure precision of all the results. It is also very user friendly and safe to use. When using the Braun Thermo Scan Ear Thermometer, you simply pull the ear back then insert the tip and click the button. Aside from the features discussed above, it also has a lens filter detector and ejector, a memory that stores up to 8 temperature readings, a small, soft speculum flexible tip which ensures gentleness and 20 disposable lens filters to virtually eliminate risk of cross contamination. Also, the product has a 3-year warranty. Braun is the # 1 recommended brand of thermometers by Canadian pharmacists. The only downside we can consider is that it costs a little more compared to the other thermometers readily sold in the market.

Vicks Starry Night Cool Mist Humidifier

Sometimes I know other moms will also agree with me when I say that there are days when I have a hard time putting my kids to sleep. It may be because they want to play some more, they ate something that’s keeping them up or maybe has colds and cough and is having a hard time breathing. But ultimately we want something to help ease any stuffiness and at the same time would help the kids fall asleep fast. I have been hearing a lot of good things about the Vicks Starry Night Humidifier and after I used it, I highly recommend it. Because aside from the usual uses of a humidifier, which are to produce cool and invisible moisture to help moistened airways it also houses new and exciting features which other humidifiers does not have. The Vicks Starry Night Humidifier has a 1.0 gallon tank capacity, two speed setting, an automatic moisture balance system that automatically adjusts its output to reach maximum comfort, a soothing vapor scent pad heater that releases non-medicated scents such as menthol, lavender and rosemary, has a run time of 18 to 24 hours and a three year warranty. The most exciting feature of this humidifier is that it has a built in Starry Night Projector that will surely help your children fall asleep immediately. It turns your room to a beautiful starry night sky with a rainbow that changes color. I used this product the other day in the room, which I share with my 14th month old baby boy. He was not feeling well that day and as I was observing him sleep that night, true to the promises of the Vicks Starry Night Humidifier, it really did make him sleep well.

With everything I learned about the Braun ThermoScan Ear Thermometer and Vicks Starry Night Humidifier, I greatly recommend that these two basic and very useful products is a must buy for all parents in this cold and flu season. It may seem costly; nevertheless, we should always bear in mind that prevention is better than cure.

  7. I want to win for my kids. I have a 1 year old and a 4 year old and I hate taking their temperature under their armpit. its always a fight (but at least its not as bad as taking the temperature in the mouth, or the “other way”) my husband is too cheap to invest in a digital thermometer because hes not the one who has to take their temperature so he thinks its a waste of money.
