Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Absolutely and on top of that give adrenal support. The adrenals need every help they can get at the moment! Just an idea. Have you got any popsicle makers at your house. You can put pear juice and cod liver oil in there. It's a sneaky way to get Omega3s, D and A in quite sneakily:-)) He won't be able to smell it and Tom will like the idea of summer fun in winter. Besides it's cooling to the throat. I would add in organic chicken broth...that's loaded with glyine (theoretically, at least). This is the most important time to get him in Epsom Salt baths or just get it onto his skin somehow. The sulphate combines with the antibiotics and excretes them safely. For example, you could soak a cloth in E.S dissolved in warm water and lay it over his abdomen while he's asleep. I've noticed I perspire a lot when I throw E.S into a bath so the sweating would be a blessing also for Tom. Anita schrieb: > > Coming in late here Sara. Sorry to hear about Tom.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Sara, Sorry, haven't read the whole thread but if your primary concern is the side effects regarding reflux, I wouldn't be too worried. As I've mentioned before, I have reflux and I also have a severe allergy to penecillin so have been on cephalexin numerous times. It never irritated my reflux or made it worse. Don't know if that helps at all as of course I'm only one case but I do have a very sensitive stomach and most supplements give me reflux right now but I have taken cephalexin recently and it did not bother me. All the best, hugs to you and Tom and best wishes for a very speedy recovery, Darla xxx > > > > > > I did not want to give Tom the antibiotics but he was so ill that > > was > > > frightened and I have given him one dose and now he is asleep. > > > > > > I am very concerned that I have done the wrong thing.
