Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 You could ask the DDS to prescribe a medication that is compounded (stevia base or just a water base) or you can compound your own: Check the recommended dose for a child on the box of the children's version of ibuprophen (good for swelling and pain-I've always found it best for my own dental work), then rinse the coating off the adult tablet, dry and crush the tablet and divide the dose as necessary for your child. It will be bitter, but mix it with apple sauce or give it in a medicine dropper with juice. We do this washing with Valtrex for my guy, and I've done it with advil once for a fever with him. Tylonol is not good for the liver with our kids (it stops the body's natural production of glutathione, the most powerful antioxidant that our kids really need). Good luck!

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hi , Generally ibuprofen for ASD, acetaminophen for IBDers. When I had very bad dental pain I found that advil and acetaminophen with codeine were the only things that helped at all. I was in a great deal of pain and didn't care too much about the consequences. You can get meds compounded if concerned about illegal fillers.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 If Valtrex is illegal, that would explain why I felt doubly bad when I took it a couple of weeks ago when I broke out in shingles (5th time I've had shingles in my life). So I'll be curious to know the answer to this.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Valtrex has a lot of inactive ingredients. Some of them may be illegal. I tried to look them up and found out a couple of them are " polymers " . I don't know what a polymer is, so I don't know how to guess at its digestibility.

Elaine always said that if you need a medication you should take it. If the illegals are part of the capsule you can ask the pharmacist if it can be opened and put in water/juice. If the illegals are on the putside of a tablet you should check with the pharmacist if it is okay to wash it. I took meds for shingles (might have been valacyclovir or acyclovir) in January and didn't find that the meds made me any sicker than the shingles already was making me.
