One of the top worries among parents is that their children will get sick, and when the winter flu and cold season hits, illnesses can pop up more frequently.

As one of the safest choices for self-treatment, homeopathic medicines offer parents another choice. Why? These medicines:

• Do not cause drowsiness or jitteriness in children,
• Have no known interactions with other medication,
• Don’t mask symptoms (allowing doctors and patients to easily detect and respond to symptoms of serious illnesses should they arise), and
• Are not body-mass dependent (so there’s no need to give more or less medicine depending on body weight)

Boiron has been offering Oscillococcinum since 1967 and families around the world have relied on it to relieve flu-like symptoms.* Parents can also find ColdCalm Kids Pellets for colds in the kid’s aisle along with Children’s Chestal cough syrup.**

Each of these products contains active ingredients that are microdoses of plants, animals, and minerals.
