The Arctic Blast came rolling through where I live, and it is so super, crazy, cold! We lived in Texas for years so the below freezing temperatures are a huge shock. The new rush of cold weather brings red cheeks, sneezing, and running noses. “Cold season” is considered from September-April. Hayden also just started school this year. He loves kindergarten, but I don’t love the germs he brings home! The common cold accounts for approximately 22 million missed days of school and 20 million absences from work, including time away from work caring for ill children. I want Hayden to learn as much as he can, and he can’t do that if he is home sick.
In a new national survey of U.S. parents of school-aged children (ages 4-13), 40% say that they find it isn’t always easy to give their child(ren) over-the-counter liquid cough and cold medicine. Of those surveyed, one-third of parents believe the taste of the medicine impacts how easy it is to give their child the medicine. Whenever Hayden gets even a hint of a cold he will always get a cough. He coughs all day long, and all night long. It is so miserable. He also really struggles taking medicine, but especially cough medicine. I can’t blame him I even have a hard time getting it down sometimes. Cough medicine usually smells bad, and tastes worse.
Getting him to take medicine is always a fight, especially at night time when his cough is always at its worst. He is so exhausted, but he can’t stop coughing. Eventually because he is so tired he will finally take his cough medicine, but he makes 15 different faces and gagging sounds just to get it down. I hate the taking medicine battle almost as much as I hate his cold.
Now there is a new medicine to help both Hayden, and I with our medicine battles. Dr. Cocoa™ for Children is the first-ever cough and cold medicine for children with patented formulas combining trusted, effective ingredients with 10% real cocoa for great chocolate taste to make giving medicine to kids easier. All Dr. Cocoa™ products combine trusted, effective ingredients with 10% real cocoa for a real chocolate taste. Dr. Cocoa™ for Children comes in three patented formulas:
Dr. Cocoa™ Long-Acting Cough Relief: relieves coughs for up to eight hours without causing drowsiness in children ages 4-13 (active ingredient: Dextromethorphan). Follow the package label for exact dose by age, or speak to your child’s pediatrician.
Dr. Cocoa™ Daytime Cough + Cold Relief: relieves stuffy nose and cough for children ages 4-13. Its non-drowsy formula makes it ideal for daytime use (active ingredients: Dextromethorphan and Phenylephrine). Follow the package label for exact dose by age, or speak to your child’s pediatrician.
Dr. Cocoa™ Nighttime Cough + Cold Relief: Made especially for children ages 6-13 to relieve coughs, along with stuffy nose, runny nose and sneezing at night (active ingredients: Diphenhydramine, Phenylephrine). Follow the package label for exact dose by age, or speak to your child’s pediatrician.
Because of Dr. Cocoa’s soothing, real-cocoa formula it triggers a smile, and not a struggle from kids. Dr. Cocoa is relief with a smile! It would be so amazing if I could only help fight Hayden’s cold, and not fight him to take medicine. Hayden loves chocolate! I know he will love the rich, chocolate taste of Dr. Cocoa™ and I will love that he is getting some comfort from his cough and cold.
All three Dr. Cocoa products are available nationwide at stores, as well as online. You can also find more information about Dr. Cocoa™, including where to buy, visit www.drcocoa.com. You can also go to their website to print a coupon and save on Dr. Cocoa™. You can also follow them on the Dr. Cocoa’s Facebook Page.
Even though I am still dreading the colds Hayden will have this cold season, I am relieved to know I can give him a medicine to help him without a fight. I know the real chocolate taste will make him smile instead of run and hide! Then after he has taken Dr. Cocoa he can get some sleep and let his body rest to fight off the cold. I will be keeping Dr. Cocoa products in my medicine closet at all times!
Dr. Cocoa products are FDA regulated medicines and should be used only as directed and kept safely out of reach of children.
