Help Treat Cold & Flu Symptoms With Vicks! Review & Giveaway!

With cold and flu season in full force it may seem inevitable that you will get a cold or even worse, the flu. If you or your children get the flu you will want to be prepared with some great products to help make you feel better and speed along your recover. I was excited to review some great products from Vicks and to share them with you!

We received the Vicks ComfortFlex InSight Thermometer for review. I love that this thermometer is easy to use and tells you with color coded backgrounds if your child has a fever. It has a green background for a normal temp, a yellow background for slightly above normal and a red background for a high fever. I love that it makes it easy to quickly tell if you child has a high temperature or not. It is also great for those middle of the night temperature readings because it is backlit.

I also love that you can use it orally, rectally or under the arm. This makes it great for children of all ages. It also gives very fast readings in as little as eight seconds depending on the method you are using to take the temperature. The soft comfort flex tip also makes it more comfortable for your child when you are taking their temp. I also love that it is waterproof to make cleaning it really easy!

You can buy the Vicks ComfortFlex InSight Thermometer at WalMart, Walgreens, Amazon.com and other major drug stores throughout the country. I think it is a steal of a deal and a must have for every nursery and child's room at just $9-$14. You really are getting a lot of bang for your buck at this low price!

We also received the new Vicks Pediatric GermFree Cool Mist humidifier for review. As both a mom and a Registered Nurse I know the positive effects a humidifier can have on speeding recovery and easing symptoms. I absolutely love that it is the first of it's kind because it kills up to 99.9% of mold and bacteria through a patented germ-killing UV light chamber. If you have ever used a humidifier then you know that they can be a breeding ground for germs and bacteria and knowing that this humidifier kills it makes me feel so much better.

Since it is no longer recommended that you give young children cold and cough medicine most pediatricians recommend using a cool mist humidifier (to reduce the risk of burns to your child). The Vicks humidifier offers this cool mist and is ideal for nurseries and children's bedrooms. Of course mom & dad can use it too (we do!). I also love that it has an automatic moisture balance system that naturally adjusts output for maximum comfort so you aren't left with too much or too little humidity in the room.

Of course another huge bonus is that you can use the humidifier with Vicks Vapors! I love the refreshing and soothing scent of Vicks. It runs up to 24 hours per filling, and is up to 30% quieter than other 1 gallon cool mist evaporative humidifiers.

You can buy the Vicks Pediatric GermFree Cool Mist humidifier at WalMart, Walgreens, Amazon.com and other major drug stores throughout the country. It retails for $69.99 and in my opinion is a great value. You will definitely want to have one in the house for when you or your kids get sick or just to help humidify the dry winter air.

Another great product from Vicks is their Advanced Soothing Vapors Mini-Waterless Vaporizer. It offers soothing menthol vapors in a convenient, non-medicated plug-in and releases up to 16 hours of Vicks vapors before the VapoPads need to be replaced. It has intensity level controls to adjust vapor strength. It also features an independently controlled soft glow nightlight that allows you to adjust the brightness of the soothing light to your preference. This is a great way to get the soothing effects of Vicks in an inexpensive vaporizer. It also sells at WalMart, Walgreens, Amazon.com and other major drug stores throughout the country for just $9.99. Once again, I think this is a great price for the product!

Win! One lucky reader will win a Vicks Advanced Soothing Vapors Mini-Waterless Vaporizer AND a Vicks ComfortFlex InSight Thermometer! This is a great start to preparing for flu season!
