One of the hardest things about being a parent is seeing our kids sick. I know when my child is sick, I wish I can take her pain away. Feeling helpless and seeing them suffer can be unbearable. I don't sleep when she's sick. I worry and check on her constantly. Is it more severe than just a common cold or fever? Should I take her to the emergency room? So many thoughts run through my head when we're home and near our doctor. But even more, thoughts run through my head when we're on vacation.
I can't prevent my daughter from getting sick, but there are a few things I try to do beforehand. And there are things I pack just in case, especially when we're going on vacation like we will be soon, for Spring Break.
A cool product I just discovered is KONGDY (and they come packaged for adults as well). This item was provided for review consideration.
This product would have come in handy when my friend's daughter got sick at Disney, and we had to miss half a day in the park so she can rest at the hotel and cool off. Missing a half-day at Disney is terrible especially with how much the tickets cost!
KONGDY cooling gel sheets give parents a safe, effective option to relieve their children’s discomfort from fever right away and keep them comfortable for up to 8 hours. All you have to do is remove from the packaging and stick onto a child's forehead. Since it's non-medicated, you can use them instead of, or in conjunction with over-the-counter medicines.

The cooling effect of each sheet
4. The cooling effect of each sheet lasts up to 8 hours. Since KONGDY gel sheets are non-medicated, they are safe to use with medication. Whenever you feel the need for cooling relief. Adheres and removes easily and painlessly. Perfect for fidgety kids!
I love that I can use both KONGDY and fever-reducing medicine at the same time to hopefully speed up the process. Sometimes you want that extra help since some medications can't be taken again for 4-6 hours, or you want to limit so you don't overmedicate.
KONGDY is great to keep in your purse, car, or luggage for any time. You never know when you'll need them. Maybe you'll need them in an airplane when liquid medicine is in checked luggage, or maybe you'll need it in a hotel when they charge 5X the price you'd pay at a local drugstore, or they just don't carry the brand you use.
Of course, it's perfect for taking when going to Disney. Just look at the box! But besides being a Disney affiliated brand, you know how many families visit Disney (a lot!), and you just never know if your child will catch a fever. And who wants to be sick and unhappy at the happiest place on Earth!?
