* Avoid touching doorknobs, stair banisters, railings, poles and other things in public facilities.
* Wash your hands often.
* If you are coming down with something, try to cough and sneeze into your elbow, not your hands, to help prevent the spread of germs.
* If you are coming down with something, get plenty of rest and drink plenty of fluids.
Finally, if you start to feel a cough or sore throat coming on, give your throat a break by drinking warm liquids... and stock up on Ricola cough drops! They really do a great job soothing sore throats, and they taste great (no nasty medicine taste!), so I don't have to force them down my kids' throats. It's amazing how bothersome a sore throat can be... clearing it up can really make the difference between a miserable and a great day, between calling in sick and calling in well!
Call In Well with Ricola and you could win $500
As the cold and flu season hits its peak this month, Ricola ®, the leading manufacturer of soothing herb cough drops from Switzerland, is encouraging consumers to trade in their sick days for well days by inviting them to “Call in Well.” Now through January 31st, consumers can call 1-855-4-WELLDAY or text RICOLA (22122) to share what fun things they’d do if they took a “well day” off. One lucky winner per day will win $500. Visit Ricola’s Facebook page for official rules.
Win a Chrüterchraft Prize Pack
One lucky Bonggamom Finds reader will receive a prize pack from Ricola that includes:
* Ricola Extra Strength cough suppressant drops with natural menthol
* Ricola Original Natural Herb Cough Drops
* Ricola cough drop tin
· $25 Visa gift card
