Our summer has taken us a lot of fun places, amusement parks, play areas, splash pads, swimming pools and more. We love the summer time here in Minnesota and try hard to make the best of the good weather.
We are always on the look out for fun new adventures. However, these explorations come with germs and ickyness left from the kids who were exploring before us, and even though it is the summer time our little ones almost always end up with some sniffles or a cough, in the middle of June.
Luckily when ‘Sick Just Got Real’ Pfizer’s Pediatric team steps in to help us tackle the ‘ew’iest of symptoms with Children’s Advil®, Children’s Robitussin®, and Children’s Dimetapp®.
Gradie recently turned four and when she got a cough we battled to get her to shake, we were able to reach for the Children’s Robitussin (for kids aged 4+).
The extended release 12-hour cough relief was a great help in helping Gradie feel better and kept our adventures on track, like exploring at our local nature center.
Another day, another adventure – brought us to a balance bike race for toddlers. This was Gradie’s first bike race and also her first time wearing a bike helmet.
Unfortunately this lead to her first headache, or ‘forehead’ ache as she called it, repeatedly telling me that her forehead was sore. I was able to reach for the children’s Advil, in a great grape flavor, and she got some relief and was back to racing with the kids in no time.
OF COURSE – It is important to remember to always read and keep the cartons for complete warnings and dosing information on Pfizer Pediatric products and to use as directed. Also, make sure to keep all medications out of reach of children.

Sick kids at any time is no fun. These are great products to have on hand when they do.
My niece uses Children’s Advil and loves the taste of it. It is very effective!
It is so difficult when kids are sick to know what to do to help them feel better. And of course they don’t want to rest and stay in bed so good to have ways to treat the symptoms and let them still have fun.
This looks great will try them
A sick child can really bring things to a halt. I usually keep some Children’s Advil in the house just because you never know when you may need it.
I have MANY of their products stocked in my cupboards now for my 5 kids. When one gets sick, it seems to continue and when all 5 are sick at once, I use a bottle a day with them.
So easy for kids to get sick, especially in going back to school and being so close to other kids with a cold. Having these products on hand is a must.
A great product, I love that they make products that can be used for kids that are not toddlers but still to young for adult meds.
I have to say they are all great products to use indeed I use them . Great review of them thanks for sharing this
LOOKS GOOD, I WILL TRY THEM ALL. YOU NEVER WANT YOUR CHILD TO FEEL SICK.
My kids’ pediatrician always recommended Dimetapp for colds and congestion.
Having a sick child is very stressful. Pfizer Pediatrics Products seem to be effective at keeping most of the symptoms at bay.
So thankful to have these types of products available to us for when the children need help fighting a fever, relief for a nasty cough or cold. I’m glad Advil has a dye-free Infant’s Drops also!
Gradie is growing so quickly! Seems like yesterday you were posting about the new baby in your home. She’s a cutie!
I always catch myself thinking when winter is over I don’t have to worry about colds or illness anymore. WRONG!
Its sad its summer time and we know better than to run out of stuff. Playing out side and getting into AC car or house sometimes will bring on those colds. Also like your daughter and the helmet a forehead ache 🙂
Thankfully there’s medicine like this to help when kids are sick
These all work wonders! Being sick is never fun :/
I love that these products are specifically for kids and they have a good taste so my children will take them when they aren’t feeling well.
When I was a child my mom gave me Robitussian and now I do the same for my kids. Great products that help make illness so much more tolerable.
Kids manage to get sick at the most inconvenient times. Good to have these.
My grandchildren seem to pick up alot of these respiratory sicknesses. These are some great products. Thank you so much for sharing
Having these products available for kids and ready is key. We had made sure these were available when needed.
When my boys get sick the entire house is working to bring down fevers etc. But a cough is the worst because it helps to spread the sickness in the air. So I would love a long lasting help with a cough!
The only one I have tried is Robitussin and it worked really well.
I remember taking Dimetapp when I was sick as a child.
I always have my daughter Pfizer products when she wasn’t feeling well. They are only products that worked well.
Unfortunately, germs are everywhere and at some point kids are going to get sick. Advil, Dimetapp, and Robitussin are great products to have on hand when the inevitable finally happens.
So true. Germs don’t take a vacation. Kids seem to pick up so many things. It is great there are so many products available to target all symptoms.
I have my kids hand sanitize before snacking wherever we are. I always carry some with me.
Advil has gotten me through many nights of sick children needing relief….lol.
Thank you for the reminder that you don’t ever get a break for germs. The review enlightens me and my family of the warning signs and what to do.
