Vicks DayQuil & NyQuil Review #spon

I work in a medical center so I am around germs all the time and try my best to keep myself from bringing illness home to my family.  I wash my hands frequently, get my flu shot every year, and try to eat healthy to keep my immune system as strong as possible.  Despite my best efforts, I still get sick quite frequently during cold and flu season. The problem is, when you are a mom you can't exactly take a sick day from your mommy duties when you are under the weather.  

When I do get sick, I do my best to balance rest with the necessity of keeping up with the demands of my family. Just recently I came down with a nasty cold and was thrilled when one day into my cold the mailman brought me some Vicks DayQuil and NyQuil - it was like a divine intervention. Ok,  I was expecting it thanks to this campaign but it still could not have come at a better time.  

Vicks DayQuil Cold & Flu Relief is a non-drowsy formula made to ease five symptoms of a cold - aches, fever, sore throat, stuffy head, and cough - so you can get on with your day.   The active ingredients in the formula work to suppress the impulse to cough and help clear nasal congestion for easier breathing.  I received LiquiCaps to try and they worked great on my cold. Aside from allowing myself to sleep in one day during my week-long cold, I was able to get through a full week of work and still attend to my family.  It did a great job of suppressing my cough and, although the cold decreased my energy, I was not drowsy at all taking it.  

Vicks NyQuil Cold & Flu Relief is formulated to relieve nighttime sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, and fever for a restful night's sleep when suffering from a cough, cold, or flu.  I did not use any medicine the first 24 hours of my cold and I had the worst night's sleep ever. It seemed liked every time I dosed off, I would start coughing uncontrollably and wake again. Once I used the NyQuil, I slept like a baby! I did not wake up at all and the next morning I had no "hangover effect" and felt well rested.  I received the liquid form and it took effect - at least with the cough suppression - fast. I took it about 30 minutes before I went to sleep and was able to fall asleep pretty easily.

If you get sick and want to try Vicks, please consider the following:

• Remember before trying any new medication make sure to check with your doctor & follow the proper recommended course of treatment.
• DayQuil & Nyquil is not recommended for children younger than 12. Please be sure to consult your physician before giving DayQuil & NyQuil to children.
