The group of pharmacists Giropharm is launching a new iPhone and iPad app on colds specially designed for children. Named “the cold and Lili”, this application is intended for children under 10 years old.
After the success of “Lili and the Magic Vegetable Garden” on nutrition (over 15,000 downloads), Giropharm pharmacists are coming back to inform children and their parents with a new free health application. In this illustrated adventure, the little girl, Lili, is confronted with a bad cold: she has a runny nose, a headache and never stops sneezing.
But Lili doesn’t know what to do about this situation. Thanks to this new app, she will find simple solutions adapted to her age thanks to the recommendations of her mother, well advised by her pharmacist.
Lili’s story is divided into 13 sequences. This interactive app allows children to put their photo in place of Lili’s head, record their own voice and that of their parents, take a quiz on Lili’s story and discover health tips.
” The right reflexes in terms of health must be learned from an early age », Says Franck Vanneste, president of the group. The Cold and Lili will be available for download from the Apple Store in October 2013.
What to do in case of a cold

Avoid smoky, polluted or high risk allergenic atmospheres. Beware of sudden hot-cold alternations and don’t forget that the ideal room temperature is around 19-20 ° C. Remember to ventilate your home every day.
It is essential to clean your nose with specific care. Spraying salt water into the nostrils is a real gesture of hygiene and has benefits on prevention, care and respiratory comfort.
Always remember to wash your hands regularly, never use the same handkerchief twice, which should not be left lying around to avoid any form of contamination. Children should also rest if they have a fever or have complications.
