Guest guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Same here. I don't do anything for 101 or less. The fever is there for a reason and by treating a fever this low, you are interfering with letting the fever and the body do it's job. Anything over 101 he gets a tepid bath, and stays in atleast 30-40 minutes. I add more warm water as necessary so it's not cold. It takes atleast 20 minutes to lower the core body temperature. If it gets up to about 103, I give my son Bella Donna. If it hits 104, he gets dye free motrin and the doctor gets a phone call. Kerrie In a message dated 4/11/2010 11:42:46 P.M.

Tammy controlling a fever Hello I'm interested in what other use to control fevers and viral infections and pain. My 2 yr old son is very sensitive to most meds but also very sensitive to salicylates. I dread him been ill and try to avoid meds but with fevers theres no choice. I also reaaly feel for him when he is ill as most children are just given a dose of paracetmol and they feel better. Alison R (UK) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I personally wouldn't intervene with a fever until it reaches 105 (my son doesn't get seizures). I've had 106 myself with no intervention. A fever is the best way to kick out a virus. My son is a " viral kid " and didn't get fevers at all for several years. Once his immune system began to heal, he began getting fevers, and they always lead to big gains. I've come to really appreciate what a blessing fevers are. However, if a kid has seizures, that can be a totally different situation. BTW, Motrin is extremely harsh and damaging tot he gut lining so I wouldn't give it lightly. It's still better than Tylenol, but not good. -Sierra > > Same here. I don't do anything for 101 or less.

Usually tho, just Virastop and/or OLE. Adding the correct anti-viral is also helpful, altho sometimes it is difficult to determine whether the virus is susceptible to vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, or lysine. My son needed high doses of all four of those to eliminate all the viruses in his brain. But Virastop/OLE will help also. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I'm still learning about this stuff, so I don't know the answer. A friend of mine runs a web site www.holisticdiva.net she's a genius. She'll know what you can use. She has an autistic child, but even before she had her she lead a holistic lifestyle. I saw that you're in the UK... I'm not sure if you guys have these chains or not, but we have a chain called The Vitamine Shoppe. They have a huge selection of holistic " Medicines " and they all say what they are used for. They're these tiny balls that look like pearls...my kids think they're candy. You just drop a few on your tongue until they melt. I hope you find what you're looking for...it's hard watching your kid suffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 > our son improved after each high fever. some say it helped to release toxins from his systems. My son was like this at first. His immune system was compromised and when he had a fever, it helped the immune system fight off the viruses in his brain. But eventually, his immune system shut down entirely, and then he was never sick, the viruses just went straight into his brain and his body stopped trying to fight them off. I used OTC anti-virals to eliminate the viruses and correct his immune system. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
