Does the dye free motrin have corn syrup?Sent from my iPhone

Melatonin is natural and helps w/ sleep and is a good antioxidant. You can also give liquid childrens dye free motrin to help with inflamation. You need to find a good DAN doc to help you. What state are you in so we can recommend someone to help your child. It could be strep induced pneumonia and if so you need a good doc to treat it. Have you looked into PANDAS which is strep induced. www.pandasresourcenetwork.org

Dear group,I am new here, and I really need your help.I have a 7 years old son who is autistic. he is on only Claritin singular, omega 3 probiotic, Enzyme and Vit D and Multivitamin.My son stops breathing all of a sudden. This happened to him X 3 already. The last episode was 2 wks ago. No one knows why this happens he had all the test and no one have a clue.2 wks ago he had the flu, really bad and he was sick, and this time he also stopped breathing, but before ambulance got here I was able to resume his breathing. His color O2 sat was fine as well, so they did not intubate him. After he recovered from this and Flu he was not able to sleep at all. he became restless and just pacing and whining and just acting very weird. I finally gave him Melatonin which helped him to sleep, and he did well without it after 3 days. Now he has ear infection and he had not slept for 6 days. he is unmanageable. I can't blame him since

he is so sleep deprived.My question is, does anyone knows any natural remedies for sleeping issues. he does fall asleep for 10-15 minutes and that is it. I do not want to give him strong medicine that his pediatrician is recommending. Please someone help. He was always a good sleeper, now he is like manic and ADD. I do not know what to do. Thank you and sorry for the long postTunde-- "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." MLK
