Your Comfort Survival Kit For Cold And Flu Season

You know the feeling of wishing you had something specific, but it’s too late to have it now, when you need it?

That’s a particularly rough experience when you’re sick, while your body is feeling weak and your mind fatigued, whether with the flu, a cold or another virus.

For those with medicine cabinets already stocked, what else might you want on hand when you’re sick? These items are a good start.
