Essentials when there's illness in the house

When I was a kid and somebody was sick in my house, in Ireland, the essential items in store were Sprite, yogurts, lucozade (a drink) and oranges. However, my essential items in Japan looks a bit different. 

When there is illness in the house now, in the Japan, only two of the items on my Ireland list make the list in Japan. One is yoghurt, but not the yoghurt of my childhood. In Japan, i tend to have R1 probiotics yoghurt, which is a drinkable yoghurt. The other is Sprite. Three of my children, just like me, also crave Sprite when they aren't feeling well! 

One of the absolute essentials on my Japan list, that I don't think are even available in Ireland, s the cooling sheets that you stick on your forehead. I find them brilliant to help aid the symptoms of a fever. The other thing we have to hand when the children aren't well in Japan is the Qoo Grape "Jiggly" Jelly. They are easy to eat, even when you don't have an appetite. And they are fortified with essential nutrients. 

All of these products are readily available in Japanese supermarkets and drug stores as well as on online shopping sites. You will also find each of them reviewed in the products review section of City-cost.
