As more and more children begin to go back to school, we’ve been told to expect more cases of COVID-19, as well as the usual colds and flu that plague schools during the autumn and winter months.

We know that keeping things like our vitamin C topped up can help, as well as sneezing into elbows and washing our hands, but what else can we do to keep a handle on the colds at least? Have you heard of ColdZyme Mouth Spray ? We’ve used this for a couple of years now and I certainly think it helps. I always make sure everyone has their own spray and I just label each box so we don’t mix them up.

Children are the group who catch colds most often – 7 to 10 colds per year compared to 2-5 in adults, but with cold rates now about a quarter of the five year average there is a distinct possibility that the hotly anticipated return to school could prompt a spike in cases of cold and flu amongst school age children.

So called “super-spreaders”, children are also amplifiers of cold and flu, because children have a tendency to touch everything in sight, plus close contact between parents and caregivers, cold and flu germs spread easily. 

ColdZyme® Mouth Spray is an easy-to-use oral spray for common colds that forms a protective active enzyme barrier on the mucous membrane in your throat. The barrier acts osmotically on the cold virus particles, trapping them and preventing them from binding with human cells, helping the body to remove them naturally.

ColdZyme Mouth Spray targets the cause of a cold, the cold virus, and not just the symptoms. Suitable for adults and children over the age of 4, there are two sizes available: ColdZyme® (7ml), £10.99 and ColdZyme® (20ml), £17.50.
