It’s the time of year when everyone is whining… “I have a cold”, “My nose hurts from wiping it”, “I have a headache from sinus pressure”… ugh! The whining is bad enough when I do it, but worse when I have to listen to it from my husband. I love the man but really, there is no worse man than him when it comes to whining when he is sick. I believe it wholeheartedly that he is the worst but I am sure you know someone that whines when they are sick. My husband whines, fusses, and is miserable to be around. I can only imagine a time when we no longer sick from the cold and flu. But, until then, I have an option that works well and it is time to head to the store to grab it!

 

Advil Cold & Sinus is my go-to option when we have the whiny illnesses in my house. My husband can take some and feel relief in a short time and that means less complaining. Advil Cold & Sinus contains Advil (the #1 pain reliever) as well as a power nasal decongestant that offers fast and effective sinus pressure relief! Thank you Advil Cold & Sinus! Oh, and it’s non-drowsy formulated too so he can even take it at work or home! This means his co-workers don’t have to hear the whining any more than I do!

When our cold and flu symptoms become bothersome, we know we have to get Advil Cold & Sinus right away! I head to the pharmacy counter and ask them to give me something to save the life of my husband because there is only so much this wife and mother can take of the whining and complaining! At an affordable price, we can’t complain about anything at all.

In addition to the Advil Cold & Sinus, we have a few things that do help us out when we aren’t feeling the best during cold and flu season. Here are a few ideas:

• We always keep soft tissues on hand; using hard ones breaks down the skin faster.
• Sitting in the bathroom with the hot water running in the shower helps to loosen that congestion as well. Doing it while taking the Advil Cold & Sinus only makes sense!
• We use a heating pad on any aches and pains that comes with the flu.
• We drink plenty of fluids. Water or drinks with electrolytes are perfect to keep you hydrated when you aren’t feeling well.

Trust me when I say that a visit to the pharmacy at the first sound of whining is necessary. Grab your keys and head on out to the pharmacy and ask the staff to give you the relief you so desperately need. I’m not talking about someone else to sit with your family. I am talking about Advil Cold & Sinus! They will thank you and you’ll be patting yourself on the back for a job well done!
