Favorite Sick Day Products

I think we’ve finally gotten rid of the germs that invaded us last week, but ugh, it was definitely a WEEK! Here are some of the products that we couldn’t do without while recovering (all links are affiliates).

Pedialyte Freezer Pops – Popsicles are an everyday staple in our house, but even morse so when sore throats are present. These popsicles from pedialyte have the added bonus of the trusted hydration formula.

Lolleez Sore Throat Suckers – These are a safe way to give little ones the relief of a cough drop, without worrying about the potential chocking hazard. They also feel like a special treat that kids only get to enjoy when they don’t feel great.

Kleenex – Always a necessity. I love this multipack because there are truly never enough Kleenex. I’m also a huge fan of the cube-shaped boxes because they’re easy to tuck into the corner of the couch or right on the corner of a bed so they’re always easily accessible.

Celestial Seasonings Herbal Tea Sampler – I’m not usually a tea fan, but when you’re sick there’s just something comforting about these scents and flavors. Even if I don’t drink it, I love to make a cup and soak in the steam and warmth.

Glass teacups – When you’re sick, everything looks and feels gross. These teacups are beautiful and feel sophisticated and simple. Sometimes having something pretty really does make a difference.

Vick’s Vapo Shower – I’m definitely a shower girl, and these are truly a game-changer. Being able to stand in a warm shower and breath in that classic Vick’s nasal-opening scent gives me so much relief.

Plush Fleece Blanket – Fevers are so strange, you’re sweating and then instantly shaking from chills. A great blanket is a must-have, especially if you’re spending the day on the couch. I love a heavy plush blanket for that extra weighted benefit.

Full Face Heating Pad – All of the congestion and sinus pressure is truly the worst. Using heat to loosen all of that up so you can truly alleviate it really works. This mask is genius and would be excellent to put on right before you fall asleep.

Vick’s Sleepy Time Humidifier – When I don’t feel well I’m happy to sleep as much as humanly possible, but sleeping while congested isn’t always possible. This humidifier uses Vick’s pods to add the relief of Vick’s to the moisture from the humidifier to help make quality sleep a real possibility.
