Re: OT- Is there a safe decongestant for our kids? Help!

[Guest guest]

Hi,

We are in the boat and get all of our stuff compounded to be GFCF and

preservative free (even acetominaphin since DS can't take dye free motrin). The

only thing that I've found is this and it really works for us (does make DS's

stool a tiny bit loose and goes a bit more frequently but nothing awful...):

Bronchial Soothe; Ivy Leaf Syrup

Label includes the following info:

*Naturally supports clear bronchial passages

*Ingredients: English Ivy (hedera helix) leaf extract standardized to contain

9mg of hederacoside C; purified water; vegetable glyceral; frutose; natural

flavors; surcose laurate; potassium sorbate and citric acid.

*Contains no yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, corn, dairy products, artificial

colors or artificial flavors.

*Manufactured by Zeller Inc for Enzymatic Therapy Inc in Green Bay WI

* www.enzy.com / 1-800-783-2286

We bought ours at a local organic whole foods store and the syrup tastes like

really strong ice tea. Not my son's favorite thing in the world but he has

little / no problem w/ the taste / taking it. Also, our Developmental

Pediatrician reviewed Vick's Vapo Steam liquid w/ me and said that it is safe to

use - you do not drink this - you pour it in water and the vapors clear

passageways and soothe coughs. Hope that this helps.

Andy's chelation protocol with my son. (Who is responding nicely

btw ) My son recently acquired a viral infection from me and I wanted

to give him something to provide him some relief so he can sleep

tonight. Any thoughts or warning about decongestants/cough

suppressants? I have a slew of OTC kids meds in my cabinets that are

unopened because I'm afraid of nasty side effects. Any help would be a

huge blessing! Thanks

Blessings,

We have never been able to use Decongestants with our daughter, but have used

Musinex that thins and drains. I couple that with vicks vapor rub and it seems

to do the trick.

Good luck,
