I don't know about you guys but since covid & WFH if you are someone who works on a computer/office setting nobody ever takes a day off for illness unless they're hit by a bus. Maybe thats just culture at our company but its been impossible to take a sick day. Everyone worked thru their covid infections at home.

Lol. Can confirm. At the office… sick.

But did you die? No, then be in your desk.

Anybody got a line on some children’s Tylenol / house brand equivalents? (Kids are picky, don’t want compounded stuff)

[ExtraSlow]

Liquid or chewable?

[ThePenIsMightier]

Don't just quit if the shelf is empty. The pharmacists are keeping it behind their counter because if humans will hoard anus paper, they will hoard 20x the baby medicine.

Found some liquid age 2-11 at northland walmart. Last one apparently. Indeed it was behind the counter which is ridiculous. Thanks for the tip @90_Shelby !!

[88CRX]

I’ve been asking if they have it behind the counter. Multiple no’s so far this week.

[ExtraSlow]

Anyone who's truly deaparate with a currently sick child pm me. Everyone else, start training your kid to take real pills. It's very freeing.

That's awesome for you. I recall you saying one of your kids was seemingly incapable of getting the hang of that.

Yeah we had issues, and one kind in particular needed a lot of these medications at times.
But my kids are big now. We are past chewable and liquids.

[haggis88]

I'm in the states right now where there's no demand issues on kids medicine - anyone wants any, PM me asap and I'll get it

Although I am in NYC so it's about $8USD for 24 chewables...didn't price the liquid (CVS own brand)

I'll be in San Jose next week also, so if you don't catch me immediately there's next week too

Unfortunately no one I'm working with has a costco membership so I can't check there for formula etc

There's gotta be a crush and dissolve in fluid technique.
Guys on street do it all the time.

When I was a kid I didn't like swallowing pills so my mother would crush Tylenol on a spoon and add some water and sugar so it would taste better

Poor people things?

I got a half-spoonful of jam.

Did she also heat it on the stove?

[rage2]

Aren’t all kids pills chewable anyways? By the time they graduate to real pills, it’s no longer my problem.

[JfuckinC]

Anyone else's kids sick for an extended period? did an Instagram poll, 98% said yes (80 votes lol)

damn near took my 6 months old to the hospital last night she was sounding so rough. Sick baby is shitty, our first one was a covid baby so she didn't even get sick in her first year.

After 8 days my 2 year old still has a nasty cough and tiny bit of runny nose. wifes been sick the whole time too, hasn't bothered me much more than a super mild cold yet though.

Going on 8 weeks straight of one/both my kids (2, 4) being sick. For a decent portion of that, they sounded like pack a day smokers. Also brought home pink eye for the family earlier this month. It has been a rough go.

I am in the same boat.

Kids 3 and 8 months... Never ending illness... We are almost 4 months of someone in the house being sick at any given time. My wife and I are starting to go insane.

[cycosis]

I went through a period of anger last winter as my kiddo was constantly sick which inevitably led to my wife and I getting sick. There was no reprieve. From January, he got Covid, then pneumonia, then croup, then pink eye, the hand foot mouth, then a cold. Summer was great but weve now had two colds rip through the house since the start of the school year.

Im grateful hes 4.5 and can self entertain while I work from home but its gonna be a loooooong winter.
