Now that school is in session and your Back to School shopping is finally over, you can relax and take comfort in knowing you have everything covered. Or do you? Classroom and daycare settings are popular places for the spread of germs and viruses. It is almost a given that your child will come down with a fever or be hit with the common cold at some point during these early school years. Preventative measures can be taken to reduce the likelihood of catching a cold or the flu but it never hurts to be prepared to deal with the related symptoms. 

Whether you are new to parenting or looking for helpful information, Shoppers Drug Mart has launched their Get the Most Out of Life site filled with useful tips, product suggestions and relevant articles such as "Getting Beyond Common Cold and Flu Myths." You can select from one of four categories: Healthy Habits, Life Lessons, Women's Wellness, and Family Matters. The site is an endless resource written by experts as well as fellow moms and bloggers with their own wisdom to impart. Of course, Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacists are always available in-store to answer any of your questions and concerns or to help you find what you need.
