Winter is an exciting season with the arrival of snow, holidays and a new year. However, since we tend to spend so much more time indoors with other people, we increase our chances of being exposed to the germs that cause influenza. As you prepare for winter, remember to keep Chloraseptic® Warming Lozenges on hand for fast acting, long lasting relief of sore throats.
For most people, it is recommended to get a flu shot before winter starts. Here are some other tips to help reduce your risk of catching or spreading the flu this year:
- Wash your hands often and keep antibacterial wipes or lotion handy when soap and water are not available.
- Try to avoid close contact with people who have the flu. If possible, stay home when you are sick to avoid spreading your germs.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, especially after touching shared objects or surfaces.
- Take extra care to disinfect surfaces in common areas of your home and office including doorknobs, telephones and tables.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when sneezing and coughing. Make sure your children do the same.
- Drink plenty of water and maintain a healthy diet.
Following these tips can help, but there is no way to completely protect yourself and your family from catching the flu during the long winter months. This year, make sure you are prepared for flu-related sore throats with Chloraseptic® Warming Lozenges. Your family will thank you for the fast acting pain relief and the soothing of the liquid center.
