Homeopathic remedy for toddler cold and slight fever.?

Question

I hate giving my children OTC medicines, so I was wondering if there are any good natural remedies for cold symptoms (cough, runny nose, etc..) and a fever. Thanks!

Answer 1

Bob above has given excellent advice, both of those combinations work extremely well with children and adults, 4 tablets every four hours for adults and 2 tablets for children under 12.

Here are the Homeopathic remedies specially for Cough and Cold in Children :-

Fever with cough and cold (at initial stage) Aconite 3X or 30

Dry cough, chest pain, constipation Bryonia 30.

Rattling in throat, vomiting of phelgm Antim Tart 6X or 30.

Blocked nose, unable to breast feed Nux Vom 6X or 30.

Hoarse sound while talking, as if breath is being stopped. Skin feels dry and hot. Excessive thirst and unable to sit quietly. - First Aconite 30 every 10 mins , later Spongia 30 to be used. when fever and cough recedes a bit use Hepar sulph 30.

If excessive force is needed to cough then Sambucus 30.

Answer 2

First, I'm sure you are an excellent mother and that's why you are seeking extra help for this problem. However, homeopathy is indeed junk. The base concept, that "like cures like" is untrue. The idea that "dilution makes it stronger" is also untrue. If dilution made things stronger you could put a drop of beer into a swimming pool and make very strong alcohol. But I think we both know that that wouldn't work. I think your daughter is just a little shy and that she will get over that soon enough. Keep reassuring her and helping her to get more into play time with other children. You can tell with yourself, your husband, and the sitter that eventually she comes to trust people. Everyone is different even at a young age, so try not to compare her behavior to what other children do too much. Good luck. EDIT - Stay away from SoulDoctor, he advocates unproven treatments in an effort to get your money. Also, if I'm a paid shill of "big pharma" then why aren't I recommending any drugs?

Answer 6

All I can think of is plenty of fluids, lots of fruit and a lot of rest. There is way too much overuse of OTC and prescription drugs... our bodies should just learn to fight the germs off themselves without the drugs.

Answer 7

I can tell you, I do not have Pledge of Secrecy ,doctors have - or should have.
Let your child cough, that cleans it within.
use ice or frosted matter to cool the face.
Do not frost on arteries, it can cause blood clothing.
- Or simply take the radical but dangerous sulfonamid or antiviral drugs that doctors prescribe.
The freedom of choice is yours. Yet....
