HELP...think we're under attack by STREP

[Guest guest]

background: 9 yr old girl, non-verbal, generally happy & easy to manage.

Last week: very OCD w/her straw fetish and her TV time, making a scratching

noise w/her throat, not sleeping well

Last few days: wet nose *not really runny though, screaming fits, wanting lots

of pressure on her head (rubbing, banging etc), worse sleeping, melatonin which

ALWAYS works, didn't seem to make a dent

Yesterday: little brother has fever, she goes to bed a little late (again slow

working w/the melatonin) then up at 1:38 am and up the rest of the night - more

screaming, ocd issues, wet nose.

TODAY: brother has very sore throat, went to doc...positive for strep.

SO....ignorant mom that I am....pretty sure daughter has strep but not

presenting w/fever, not to mention she can't tell me what may be wrong????

ANY THOUGHTS...and what do I do?

I'm guessing OLE, Vit C...but how much & /or what else?

THANK YOU!!!!!

My son had 8 strep infections in a short time frame. He ran low to no fevers

with the strep. My nephew is the same way. Don't be hard on yourself! Sometimes

illness is hard to determine.

I am new to this group, so I don't have info on naturally treating strep and all

the fun that goes with it. I am interested to know what the group recommends.

I hope you all are feeling better soon.

Take care,

Sonya

These would have been yeast here, especially the scratchy throat noise.

More yeast symptoms.

For strep, I used OLE. Also increase the yeast protocol.
