Make a Winter Cold and Flu Supply Kit

Winter Cold and Flu Supply Kit

It is a good time to get all your supplies and medicines together in one place in case you have any winter colds, coughs or flu to plague your family this year. It is so much easier to have it all in one place instead of having to look for it or be out of it when needed.

If someone has the illness you can take the box or tote and put beside their bed and they can also take it with them when they venture from the bed.

Some things to put in it are: (If you use natural remedies put those in your tote)

• Tissue
• Cough Drops
• Sore Throat Lozenges
• Cough Syrup
• Cold Medicines
• Thermometer
• Bottle of Water or just keep a glass of water nearby
• Cold, wet washcloth

You might want to also have a Kitchen supply kit for colds and flu, in this you could put:

• Chicken Noodle Soup
• Jello
• Puddings
• Crackers

You can use a shoebox, a plastic tote with a handle or whatever you have on hand and will work for this purpose.

If you do use natural remedies make sure you have what you need to make them.

If you can think of other items to put in the kit leave it in the comments below to share with others.
