Don’t Let Winter Illnesses Catch You Off Guard
Winter illnesses, such as bronchiolitis, influenza, asthma, allergic rhinitis, and the common cold can be more challenging for parents of babies and young children, who are more vulnerable when it comes to typical winter ailments.1a
Parents and caregivers tend to think that an antibiotic will solve the problem. However, antibiotics are only effective in treating bacteria and not viruses.1b
Did you know that the common cold is the main reason that children miss school?2a
This viral infection causes symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, scratchy throat, sneezing and may also include a fever, decreased appetite, headaches, and body aches.2b
Unfortunately, children are particularly susceptible to the common cold and can contract it from other children, especially in school or day-care settings where it can spread quickly.
Although the common cold can occur at any time of the year, it is most prevalent during winter or rainy seasons. The virus is highly contagious and spreads through tiny air droplets released when an infected individual sneezes, coughs, or blows their nose.2c
Keep Your Child Comfortable And Pain-Free During Long Journeys
Long flights, car rides, and train journeys can be taxing on children.
Regrettably, airplane travel may be a headache generator, especially for pint-sized passengers.
Airplane Headache (AH) is exclusively related to airplane travels, and although may occur at any time during a flight; there is a higher incidence during the take-off and landing phase.3
Headaches can also arise due to motion sickness from riding in cars and can also make your child miserable. Symptoms such as nausea, dizziness and headache are common to motion sickness.4
When it comes to travelling with kids, Panado® Paediatric Syrup Sachets are a game-changer.
Panado® Paediatric Syrup Sachets can be used for pain and fever relief in children. The active ingredient is paracetamol, which is known to be safe for use in infants and children and is included in the List of Essential Medicines for Children of the World Health Organization.5
