With working in a school and sending my oldest daughter to kindergarten this year there was one thing I was just counting the days until. I was counting until the dreaded back to school cold hit our family. We didn’t make it far into the first month of school before this mama had a cold. Thankfully, I was prepared this year.
No need for a late night run to the store to get some cough and cold medicine. I already had what I needed on hand at home. A friend of mine had introduced me to Boiron when my oldest was little and dealing with teething, it wasn’t long after that I discovered their line of medicines to help with cold and flu season.
In our house, you’ll find Children’s Stodal Honey cough syrup, Oscillococcinum, and Coryzalia.
Stodal Honey has been used the most in our house. It’s a homeopathic medicine to help with wet or dry coughs. It’s for kids 1 to 11 years old, but I will be honest even I have used this before to help with my cough. The honey-based formula has a better taste than other cough medicine options out there which is why even I have used this.
My youngest was sadly the next one to get the cold, but her symptoms were different. The poor girl was dealing with a head cold. She had a stuffy nose, but then in the evening was dealing with it being runny. Not fun when all you want to do is rest and get a good sleep. Coryzalia to the rescue for her. It comes in little unit doses that are easy to administer. I’ve also learned to keep a package of them in the diaper bag just in case.
I am thankful the flu has not hit us yet, but Oscillococcinum will help us deal with that if we need to. This one is for all the ached that come with the flu, the dreaded body aches, headaches, and chills. I’m saying a prayer we won’t have to deal with anyone in our family getting the flu, at least we’re prepared if needed.
Fall has arrived and so has cold and flu season. Are you prepared to alleviate symptoms and help your family feel better?
What’s your go-to for cold + flu season? Do you use Boiron in your home?

My household is in need of this right now. So happy there is something out their for our littles
I hope your husband is feeling better. Did you get some Boiron products to give a try?
We did! It so helped with my 3 year olds cough! Thankyou
Definitely need to check this out! We have already had two rounds of colds and the fall has barely started yet!
There is something in the water this year, it seems to be really bad.
Both my girls are just getting over colds. We totally needed this!
How are you girls doing now Janette?
Almost every family needs this right now! thanks for sharing
Of course! I am just thrilled to have found something that helps my whole family.
Boiron can be found in my cupboard. It’s a great product for little ones.
Can it really? I love hearing that! I used their teething product with both of my girls.
We haven’t used Boiron but it’s definitely on my radar now! I’m always on the lookout for new cold+flu remedies!
Nikki, definitely check it out and stock up your cupboard. You won’t regret it.
i will have to stock up on these!
Brittany did you get a chance to stock up?
Thanks for sharing! I had never heard of these products and I love finding effective alternatives to traditional meds. I’ll have to give this a try:) We’ve already had our first cold of the season, I’m sure it won’t be our last!
That’s part of why I was so thrilled when my family and friends first introduced me to Boiron. I had to share with everyone here! I should have a long time ago.
I know the focus was the homeopathic cold medicine, but I couldn’t get over how cute their skeleton pjs are!
hahaha love that you spotted those, the perfect sick day pjs.
We have been doing pretty well so far. Having a school-aged child always makes this season an interesting one!!
We were pretty much doomed with my going back to work in a school and our oldest starting kindergarten.
We absolutely SWEAR by this stuff!! Love it.
YES! We do too!
I know I dread this every year too! We have used the oscilli… you know that really long word and it does work. I’m interested in the cough syrup now. I hope your kiddos stay healthy this year. 🙂
We call it by that for short too. My mom took that with her on her cruise to help prevent catching anything on the boat. Worked perfectly.
I will definitely have to pick up some Boiron as we head into cold season!
I hope you get a chance to, it’s a must to have on hand at home.
We’ve already been hit with the cold bug in our house. I’ll have to try Boiron out this winter.
Definitely get some Boiron to keep at home, you just never know when it will be needed. The middle of the night wake up calls because someone is sick are the worst. There’s never a store open.
