Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 I only have Vit C in 1000mg capsules. What are you using? Don't know enough about homeopathy to know what to do. I do have some echineacea and goldenseal, but don't know if this would be appropriate or how much to use. Thanks Amy Re: Re: Sick two year old My DD 3 had the same symptoms last week.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Thanks for all the info. I am new to the group and haven't seen the fevers info. I am tending toward the hands off and let her body handle it approach. How high a fever is too high? She is eating b-fast this morning so that is good right? We drink alot of raw dairy, is she okay to have this? TIA Amy Re: Re: Sick two year old At 08:14 AM 12/19/2003 -0500, you wrote: >I knew this would happen some day!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Amy, I'd take the little one to the Dr. to listen to the chest and check the ears etc... just to be on the safe side... see what the Dr. says and take it from there... ear infections could be a worry as they might spread nearby... have you tried the hydrogen peroxide in the ear protocol... Dr. Mercola has some articles about this treatment... keep using the damp cloth or sponge to lower the temp... maybe this could be done more often... a lukewarm bath is also effective... dress her indoors in less layers of clothing...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Don't give tylenol! My son has had fevers a few times with no other symptoms - I do not consider this being " sick " because otherwise he was fine. I view this as his body efficiently killing off intruders. Let her run the fever, but make sure it stays below 103.5 or so. You can do this by wiping with cool cloths; there are also some herbs which help. Let me get back to you on that one. It's wonderful you are still nursing!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Keep her home and keep her quiet. I don't give my kids anything for fever, except on occasion at night when they are too uncomfortable to sleep (since you need sleep to get well). And I don't call the doctor for fever except in a child under 6 months. My personal " pediatrician " is Dr. Mendelsohn's book " How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor. " Fever is not an illness itself, it is the body trying to rid itself of illness. Give plenty of liquids (breastmilk is fine!). Don't dress too warmly or you'll drive the fever up, but watch for getting chilled. I don't see any reason to worry about an ear infection. If she does start pulling at her ear, that's plenty of time to worry about it. I don't even take them to the doctor for ear infections, instead I drip oil from a pierced garlic capsule in, or put it on a cotton ball and put that in the ear. The ear infection spreading is extremely rare, so rare that (I've been told) in Europe they don't treat ear infections any differently than plain old colds. I have 4 kids ages 8 and under, and they are all in excellent health despite that I don't take them to the doctor when they get sick! ~ Carma ~ " God has given you all you need to train and educate your children at home - it's in real books and real life.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Will do, Its just so hard to not jump for a fever reducer. My mom and friends are all acting like I am abusing my daughter by letting her suffer from a fever. Its that push button/instant fix mentality. So I have been standing firm and giving Kombucha tea, bone broth, breastmilk and lots of hugs and kisses. Thanks Amy Re: Sick two year old Sounds like you are doing alright - while she's running a fever, giver her only water or veggie broth and of course lots of mommie's milk. > I knew this would happen some day!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 The echinacea is in a little bottle with a dropper. What is a tincture? (Okay so I am clueless) It says echinacea glycerite with vitamin c. Also I have Astragalus glycerite and goldenseal. all in dropper bottles and all are alcohol free. I have been using them to treat a sinus infection I had. Amy Re: Sick two year old Is the echineacea in tincture form? > I only have Vit C in 1000mg capsules. What are you using?

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 You might want to try bathing him in some hydrogen peroxide in his bathwater.....if you can't get the 35% food grade, then use the 3% over the counter brown bottle, it will nip it in the bud. GAle ^i^ Re: Sick two year old Fevers are part of the immune response. I've heard one Dr. say that a temperature induced internally by the body, will not harm the body. It is probably best to let the fever run its course and not use any medications to try to get it down. Reducing the fever only works in the favor of the bug that the body is trying to kill. Of course if the fever gets too high, see a dr. How's the saying go?

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 If it makes you feel any better (or your family), when I worked as a pediatric RN in a hospital in Louisiana, we had one family practice doctor who wouldn't let us give any of his patients fever reducers unless their temps hit 102 or above. He always said to let the fever do it's job (I think the order to allow the reducers at 102 was probably more to appease the parents than for the patient's benefit). Hang in there, you've got all of us on your side. : ) Kay ************************ Will do, Its just so hard to not jump for a fever reducer.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Hi, Don't worry too much as long as her fever doesn't reach 105, you should be fine with what you are doing. Just remember its the bodies way of killing off the offending virus or bacteria that has invaded her body. Laurie Re: Re: Sick two year old Not yet I don't have any. Will an orange work?
