It's never ideal when cold and flu season hits your house, but having some tricks up your sleeve can help. We'd love to know how you handle it when everyone's under the weather.

Is there a particular meal that always comforts poorly DC? Perhaps grabbing the duvets and settling in for a TV marathon does the trick, or maybe you tackle the germs head-on with plenty of anti-bac and fresh laundry.
