Re: My cold/flu season secret weapons, please share yours!
We have one who cannot afford to get the Flu, like your ds for medical reasons.
I use hand sanitizer on the 2 who routinely pick their noses when we're out and about. I also don't allow M to play with toys in waiting rooms unless I wipe them down first.
Everyone gets a multi and extra C. Toddler girl won't take anything but her vitamins so I can't get Omegas into her.
M gets TONS of meds. He gets heavy dose probiotics. He's on 10,000IU Vitamin D per day (I think that's his dose, it might be higher). He gets Omega 3s, multis, and individual A, E, K, calcium and zinc. Now, if we could just get his gut to absorb the stuff, he'd be better off.
I did opt to get M a flu shot. He's moved cross-country and I'm very concerned about the viral infections he can be exposed to here which his immune system has never experienced before. But, most of what I do centers around working with the 2 nose pickers to prevent spread of gunk. I had to start in August when they started bringing in colds and they haven't had one in a month, so I think its starting to work
