Some people on the list may use homeopathic reedies and hopefully

will write in and tell you of their experiences. If you do have to

resort to antibiotics this list may help:

I use garlic or tea/soup with garlic and ginger (my kids won't touch

if I add ginger but will do either separately. ie ginger and honey

or garlic, onion, little cayenne and salt brewed together and

strained.) I also use GSE.
