Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 We have given up the pool for now. My son was having chronic ear infections, viruses and general poor health in correlation to using the public pool. We are giving " berry well " as an immune support now, have stopped going to the pool and his general health has improved greatly. Sorry to hear your son is having the same problem. My son has a motor deficit so the gross motor work is important. He is going to start a gymnastics class after the new year. There are NOT a lot of options for younger boys though. Karate, ice skating or gymnastics...

Epsom salt baths after swimming or spraying him with Epsom salts (avoid the eyes) water before may helps. S S Swimming ??

Is there anything I can apply on his skin and head? Will it be okay to send him to the pool when we start chelation?

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 We do aquatic therapy and some of the pools in our area are converting to salt water, you may want to make a few calls in your area. If you go to a saltwater pool at a health club there should not be as many children, reducing your germ factor. A few thoughts if you really want to swim.
