Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 My dd is 2. The pain releivers offered to her have sugar or other illegals in them (I'm assuming) She is also working on her 2 year molars. We have been giving her motrin at bedtime but I cut that out since we started the diet. It doesn't seem to be making a difference so I'll keep that up. We do have a legal homeopathic for teething that I am using. But if we should be in the situation where she needs pain releif or a fever brought down what can we give her? I'm thinking of the night that her ear drum burst and she was up screaming every 3-4 hours when the pain meds wore off. I want to have an option for that, that won't cause other issues. Anyhow ideas?

Some people opt on the side of caution though and have their meds including pain relivers and fever meds compounded at a pharmacy with legal ingredients. You can find some legal fillers listed at http://pecanbread.com/supplements.html Generally, ASD kids use ibuprofen and IBSers use acetaminophen.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Hey guys: Acetaminophen is the name for tylenol. Ibuprofen is the name for motrin. They are given both to adults and children in their respective age/weight dose and intervals. In children you do not give more than 10mg of motrin per kg of bodyweight per dose, which is generally not more often than every 6 to 8 hours depending on age and minimum weight. For tylenol in children, you do not give more than 15mg of tylenol per kg of bodyweight every four to six hours, depending on the age. One note on these meds: there are studies that show that both of these meds can have profound depression of the immune system and may hinder, not only at the time give, but long after even giving one dose, detoxification. They are immune suppressors! I need to look in my files for the reference so that you can read it if you are interested and I'll post it as soon as I find it. My daughter has been teething nonstop since 4months of age. We have tried everything (before we knew about SCD), including the meds above, oragel, and all the OTC meds, including homeopathics. Since she became allergic to ALL the things we gave her and sometimes had pretty strong pain, we started dipping a toothbrush in warm, very freshly brewed coffee. It has worked marvels. We reserve it for when she is really hurting, though, since we cannot give her anything else. If you decide to do coffee, please only give very fresh coffee becasue if you let it set it can be yeastogenic, i.e., promote the growth of yeasts -only if not fresh. good luck maria mom to fiol asd 14mo > > Hi Patty, > > > My dd is 2.
