Re: Homeopathic Remedies- sucrose pellets /granules illegal right

[Guest guest]

Cathy,

If the homeopathic remedy works for her, I would not worry about the few doses

you will give her for this temporary illness.... Elaine always said that if a

child needs a medication, you need to give it.... even if it contains a bit of

illegal. It would be ideal not to give something with sucrose, but this isn't

something you're going to be giving her every day, indefinitely.

There are no fever reducing meds that I know of that have absolutely zero

starches added, but I have used adult Tylenol tablets for years with Katera....

just broken or cut into the appropriate dosage amount (as close as I can come to

the exact dosage for her weight... erring, if I have to, to a bit under that

dose), ground up and mixed with applesauce.

You can also look for Feverall suppositories, which are acetominophen (Tylenol)

in a suppository form. They may have *some* starch in them as a binder.... but

no colorings, flavorings, etc.... and may have less impact on feeding bad bugs

since they are given as a suppository, but I'm really not sure about that. Those

are available over the counter.

You could also have Tylenol or Motrin compounded by a compounding pharmacy to

have on hand for next time, if you want to use either one of those. Or, look for

your homeopathic remedy in an alcohol based liquid form.... that can be dosed

into a cup of warm water. Stirring a bit in very warm water causes the alcohol

to evaporate off.... and you're left with the active part of the homeopathic

that she can just drink.

Personally, I don't treat fever unless it goes over 103 degrees for my daughter

(age 10). Fever is the body's natural mechanism for fighting viruses and

bacteria..... it's trying to do it's job and is one sign of a healthy response

from the immune system. Suppressing fever just stops the body from being able to

burn out the bad bugs.

Of course, there is harm in having a fever go too high for too long..... but

young children can actually tolerate quite high fever without being in danger

(check with her pediatrician's office to find out the point at which they really

want you to bring it down). At that point, you can do tepid baths.... or cool

cloths to the head, neck and wrists. Other than that, the only reason to give

medication to lower fever is to make her more comfortable.

Homeopathic Remedies- sucrose pellets /granules illegal

right

has a fever. I've only used homeopathic remedies with her for

the past 3 years...SCD illegal ones.(sucrose pellets) She has never

tolerated anything over the counter for fever...intolerant to anything

and everything when it comes to fever medication...

All the inactive ingredients...what binds it, flavours it,colours it,

synthetic or not ..etc. have always been a problem....they make her

tummy real sick.

I suppose there are no fever medications with nothing in them?

I hope the fever doesn't last long...

Thanks,

The suppositories are a good idea..Should of thought of that .

I've tried the adult tylenol in the past..when I didn't guess the

remedy right...as a last resort :the adult tylenol tablet made her

stomach very sick...and I had to medicate her tummy for a week later.

I hope we are not sick for Christmas.!!!!

Bye,

Cathy
