Which means it is medically inappropriate to do the test.

Actually, if you feed him echinacea, elderberry syrup, and anything

else antiviral you can find it might help. But just trying this is a

lot safer than doing endoscopy to decide whether or not to.

MD's only use Rx stuff. There is no good Rx antiviral stuff. There

are lots of good OTC anti-virals.

Elderberry (syrup, 1 tbsp several times a day. It tastes GOOOOOD,

too!), echinacea, astragalus, grapefruit seed extract, vitamin A (in

adequate doses, like 1000-2000 IU per pound of kid).

Also vitamin C every 1-2 hours for a week.

Except over the counter.
