Gargling salt-water, or taking Airborne would be my pre-sick suggestions. My supply list would include: Lysol, liquids, and make a trip to the library for enough books and movies to get through. Chocolate is always good to have on hand, too! Good luck!

Lysol, pedialyte, crackers, and laundry soap buy the buckets. Oh and I would sneak in some chocolate for me.

Hand sanitizer and soap, quick/easy meals (in case you get sick too), ginger (i love candied ginger), “exciting” drinks so it’s easy to push fluids (gatorade? juice? my mom used to buy 7-Up only when we were sick),… Have you considered getting them to irrigate their sinuses? Ear-nose-& throat docs swear by that stuff. And it really doesn’t feel like you might expect water-up-the-nose feels (i.e. nothing like inhaling water in a swimming pool). There are sets for kids too, I think.

Lemon and chamomile teas, extra DVDs from the rental place (or a quick drop-off of the current envelopes after I’d re-set the queue to be kid-friendly), lots of extra Motrin, batteries for the thermometer, covers for the ear thermometer, refills on the Albuterol, bleach.

I would just be pouring water and rooisbos tea down their throats.
