Three kids in my daughter’s small private school class are sick. One was confirmed to have strep throat. So when, my Princess woke up with a cough and sore throat, I was worried. I kept her home from school, called our local health clinic, and brought her in. Thankfully, she did not have strep throat, it was simply a virus. Her doctor told us that as long as she didn’t have a fever, diarrhea or vomiting, she could go to school.
The doctor’s orders? Keep her hydrated. That’s it. Plain and simple.
We figured she’d most likely only miss that one day of school. No problem. But the next morning she not only felt sick, sluggish, and sore, she also had a fever. One more day of school was going to be missed and my Princess literally stayed in bed all day. She wasn’t hungry. She was sweating a lot, but very cold. Thankfully, I had DripDrop in the house to keep her hydrated.
Have you heard of DripDrop yet?
DripDrop is available to purchase at Walgreens, CVS or HEB and I am honestly telling you, YOU MUST have DripDrop in your house. A common cold or flu usually creates headaches, chills, fever, sweating, and congestion — all these symptom my daughter felt, and these symptoms create loss of water and electrolytes.
I grew up drinking sugary sports drinks or diet soda when I was sick. Today, I am glad I know better. DripDrop is a great tasting, medical grade hydration solution developed by a Mayo Clinic trained physician. Built on decades of proven science, it contains a precise ratio of salts, sugars and potassium to optimize fluid and electrolyte absorption and speed recovery.
DripDrop contains 2-3 times the electrolytes of sports drinks and pediatric solutions and was shown to rehydrate 34% better than water alone. It is available in natural lemon and berry flavors, DripDrop does not contain any artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.

I made my daughter the Lemon DripDrop, tasted it first and we were both quite pleased. It does remind me of a sport drink but without the excess sugar. It honestly tastes great. I feel really good knowing I’m giving my daughter a product that is safe and very effective. Plus, the doctor said to keep her hydrated. Nothing will hydrate her better than DripDrop. I am sold. We will always have DripDrop in our medicine cabinet for when anyone in the family is sick.

I spent a weekend in Vegas and between the heat and libations it was a rough,dehydrated recovery.
This would have been great for travel dehydration for sure!
These sound perfect for my son. He has allergies right now and is not staying hydrated like the should I bett that these would help!
My daughter really liked the lemon one. She was sick all weekend. She finished the box. There were only three in the box. That is my only complaint; I wish we had more! I need to make a run to Walgreens to re-stock my medicine cabinet.
I have been hearing so many good things about Drip Drop lately. I love that it contains no artificial colors thats a plus when I am giving it to my kids.
It’s a big plus for me Jenn. My daughter gets a little crazy when she has artificial colors in her system. We are going to Walgreens to get more, because she finished the Lemon flavor when she was sick over the weekend.
I have a friend who was just struggling getting her son to drink enough when he was sick. I have to tell her about these for next time.
My daughter wasn’t drinking or eating anything for four days, Debi. Thankfully, she got better last night and today. But, I was thankful for DripDrop over the weekend. I am sure she’d have been dehydrated without it. We are sold. We are going to continue using it for illness. And when she does her Soccer Camp this summer for a week, DripDrop is coming with us too!
I’ve not heard of drip drop before. It seems like a great product to keep hydrated, especially while under the weather!
