Cold Season Rescue Pack By Cold-EEZE Review And Giveaway

Filed under Giveaways
Well cold season is hitting hard where we are now, in fact at this very moment my toddler and I are both sick with a cold. No one likes to be sick and it is worse when your child is ill, makes you feel helpless. But I have a few products that will help you and your child get through the “season” a little easier. I know they have helped me.
Cold-EEZE zinc lozenges are clinically proven to safely and effectively reduce the duration and severity of the symptoms of a common cold by 42 percent (or within three to four days). Cold-EEZE, which contains zinc gluconate glycine, provides 13.3 mg of ionic zinc per lozenge. Zinc can help promote the strength of the immune system, and is required for the development and activation of T-lymphocytes that help to fight infection. Once you feel a cold coming on, start sucking one Cold-EEZE lozenge every two-to-four hours. Available in tasty flavors like new sugar-free pomegranate, strawberries and cream, cherry and honey lemon, among others, Cold-EEZE lozenges are a good way to get your zinc without a metallic aftertaste.
Kids-EEZE Chest Relief, new product from the Quigley Co. (the makers of the popular Cold-EEZE zinc lozenges), is a single-ingredient, allopathic expectorant with guaifenesin to help children suffering from uncomfortable chest congestion. Kids-EEZE Chest Relief is a unique soft chew, available in both strawberry and grape flavors, that offers relief of chest congestion for children six years and older. Because Kids-EEZE only contains guaifenesin, it’s a safe, effective alternative to the many multi-symptom children’s cold products that could potentially lead to overmedication. Each box of Kids-EEZE Chest Relief contains 12, individually-wrapped, kid-friendly “soft chews” with 100 mg of guaifenesin. The convenience of a soft chew also ensures that children are getting the full dosage of guaifenesin, without possible liquid spills. I know you’re kids aren’t old enough to use Kids-EEZE, but I thought I’d include it for your readers who have kids old enough to take it.
Organix Cough and Sore Throat Drops, from the makers of Cold-EEZE are the first, over-the-counter cough and sore throat drops Certified USDA Organic. These great-tasting, medicated drops contain a proprietary formulation of natural menthol derived from organic peppermint oil combined with pectin to suppress coughs, cool nasal passages and soothe irritated, sore throats. Organix is available in a unique Dark Chocolate Mint flavor, as well as Purely Peppermint, Orchard Cherry and Golden Honey Lemon. Even the twist wraps of each lozenge is made from fully compostable corn starch!
Cold season marks the start of antibiotic season. But for many, antibiotics are not without side effects. One out of five people suffer from antibiotic-associated diarrhea, or AAD. Florastor and Florastor Kids have been clinically proven to help prevent and treat AAD. Antibiotics are necessary to kill the bad bacteria that cause ear infections, strep throat, etc., but these medications also kill the good bacteria in our stomachs, often causing AAD. Florastor and Florastor Kids contain a yeast-based probiotic called Saccharomyces boulardii that helps repopulate your tummy with good cells that protect from AAD. Because Florastor contains a yeast probiotic, it won’t be killed off by antibiotics like bacterial probiotics will be. Florastor comes in a capsule, and Florastor Kids, which is safe to use in children as young as 2 months, is a powder, so it can be mixed into formula, juice, soft foods like applesauce, etc.
While I have used Cold-EEZE products in the past Florastor is new to me and I am actually using it on a regular basis now both for me and my children. My 9 year old had this cold first so I was able to try out the Kids-EEZE Chest Relief Soft Chews in Strawberry with her and she actually preferred taking medicine in a chewable form. The Chest Relief worked at loosening up the mucus in her lungs. And one of my favorite products was the Orchard Cherry Organic Cough and Sore Throat Drops. I love the fact that not only are they organic but they work like they should and taste great too! I am impressed with all these products and recommend them to every one looking to get through the cold season that is upon us.
And I have good news, I am able to offer what I call the “Cold Season Rescue Pack” which includes one of each of the 4 products above to one Dirty Shirt reader.

Over the summer I got a cold that turned into Bronchitis and Sinusitis. I was sick for nearly three months and After two rounds of antibiotics I could finally climb up the stairs without getting out of breath and talk for more than 10 minutes without losing my voice. REALLY glad that is over!!!
My worst cold is the one I have now. It’s been almost 3 weeks and we have no insurance
for me to go to the doctor. Hopefully this passes soon.

The worst cold I ever had was one I got after my children had it. They were on the mend when it hit me. I was still trying to take care of them…get them up for school, ready for school, etc… when I all I wanted to do was sleep. When I get a bad cold, it usually turns into a sinus infection and lingers until I go to the doctor.

My worst cold has been over the last few months. In November I had an upper respiratory infection (cough included), still had the cough in December and January. In February, I was diagnosed with sinusitus, still had a cough. On Valentine’s Day I heard and felt a snap in my lower rib cage on the side and collapsed. I tore the tissue between my ribs. OUCH!!!!

My last cold was last year and lasted about 10 days – I only wanted to lay down and sleep but could not since I am a mom and was too busy for that. Besides, I could not sleep because I could not breathe.

My worse cold lasted 3 weeks with a cough that lingered another week. I was miserable.
My worse cold was several years ago. It seemed to last all season, but it was probably a few weeks.
My kids and I recently went thru a pretty nasty cold. It was a horrid cough followed by just feeling exhausted. Then both kids got double ear infections. They are 5 and 6 so that’s rare at their age. All said and done, it lasted about 3 weeks. Last dose of antibiotics yesterday!!!
