Recomend he go see a good chiorpractor, they will work wonders very quickly.  Also, be sure he drinks lots of water.  Dehidration will cause it to be worse.  He can determine how much water to drink by dividing his weight by 2.  He should drink that number of ounces of water every day to help.  Hope he gets better soon.

This may not be a popular answer, but here goes... My daughter is 7 months old. I started her out with brown rice cereal instead of white, it has more nutrition. I also feed her mostly organic foods, such as Earth's Best. Sugar is a killer to your immune system. and yes, Pediasure contains sugar. They would be better off with a chewable vitamin that has few calories rather than sweetened milk with vitamins in it. I don't know how old your kids are, but I would recommend getting a copy of the book "Feeding Your Children For Lifelong Health" and "Super Baby Food".  Try switching them to organic milk. ALL regular milk contains pesticides from the cow feed, and antibiotics given to cure udder infections in the cows. Oh, and most of the milk tested also contains pus from the infection itself. Very gross. My husband and I started switching to organics as much as possible and started noticing less allergy symptoms and less frequent headaches.  Good nutrition is absolutely necessary.  Some sickenss is inevitable, but the impact of it can be controlled. Avoid antibiotics unless they are absolutely necessary. They kill your healthy bacteria and weaken the immune system. Eating yogurt will help to build up the healthy bacteria counts. Also, make sure that they are drinking plenty of water, but not tap water. Chlorine is not good for children or adults, nor is the heavy metal residue that comes from old water pipes.

I have two boys and went Thur similar issues.  We found a really good Pediatric & Adult Asthma Doctor.  So he treats all of us.  And the kids have been able to stay with him.  \nIt can be really scarry when their that young and you stay up all night listening to them and watching them to make sure their o.k.  Been there, twice.  Children are stonger than you realize.  But, it's still scarry and are Motherly instincts, just wanta fix it.  \nMy advice would be to start a log.  Of when you child is better and worse.\nMorning or night.  Usually night I found.  Times of years, Spring and Fall are our worst, seasonal induce asthma, tree pollens.  Wet, rain, mold.\nThe good news is an allergist can really help.  But only if you follow  a regiment he suggest and here's the hard part for me, being faithful to follow it.\nIt can be hard to stay with the routine of making your kid take there meds.  Later on when they get older.  But, it's also easier  because you'll be more attuned to your childs symptons.  Hope this helps and good luck.

Look up a product called YeastBuster by Cycles of Life.  It has many applications and has had some tremendous benefits for "clearing up" problems that nothing else can.

You may want to try Acidophilus. My 7yr old daughter had re-occurring infections from antibiotics and suffered for years until finally a Pediatrician told us to take Acidophilus to put the natural balance back in order. GNC is the only place that I've found that carries a chewable form, but you can also get the pill form at WalMart. I now treat every infection with only this product. I take up to eight chewables 2x's daily. It restores the balance within one day. These are not medications, but the natural bacteria that keep things in check in our bodies.

here is an idea that may work for the fingernail fungel infection -- ADD SOME ZINC to the daily vitamin supplements. Bathing your hands in a bowl of wather with 2 drops of essential oil of sage, every day for a week, will help too. Its caused from bacteria for one thing.. and thick fingernails are a sign of poor diet but also in the maturing years. "Tea Tree" essential neat oil drops massaged on nail & nail beds may also help. IF you know of a armomatherapy shop in your area they can make a mixture of Tea Tree & Tagetes (5 drops each) oils diluted with 2 teaspoons of olive or grapeseed oil - if its not a fungus.\n\nas for the "eczema" -- the root problem may be due to allergy - cow's milk or eggs. There also is some type of correlation between allergies in the family and eczema. Even if parent or grandparent has history of hay fever, eczema, asthma, psoriasis -- or even food allergies!! If mom has allergies she probably passed them on.... \nDermatoligist should check that all out -- if its truly bothersome & itches alot -- it can be releaved by applying affected area twice a day with essential oils. Again, check with nearest aromatherapy shop -- mixure should be chamomile, yarrow, tagetes with 10 drops of primrose oil --

some pills the doctor gives you might help. Please go the doctor.

My mom used to make a cup of warmed honey, lemon juice, water and a small amount of whiskey.  It used to make me sweat and broke up my cough.  I hated the taste of it, but it did seem to work.  I have recently used that Airborne stuff mentioned in the previous post and it works also.  My doctor recommends Robitussin with the expectorant, that thins the mucus and allows you to cough the junk up out of your lungs.  Hope you're feeling better soon.

There is no herbal remedy for either of these issues.  However, if you insist on throwing your money away, throw some of it my way!  Do what the kid's pediatrician tells you to do, for cripes sakes, and stop playing f*cking russian roulette with the child's health!

I found that the best stuff that worked on both my kids (3years, 3Months) and myself is Cetaphil lotion.  It works wonders.  My sons both have patches on legs and back and mine is on my left cheek.  Also, don't use regular soaps!  There are special ones that are found at babies R us that work great.  If my sons are having a particularly bad case, I avoid soap and just wash them in plain water for a couple of days.

The meds are probly not the answer. Take a look at life style. Elimanate candy and juink food. Make sure he gets 3 balanced meals a day. Plenty of sleep, and of couse a little one on one parent time.

I purchase at herbal store an herb called Virastop. It is an enzyme and cleans the body from parasites. I give the children one when they complain of anal itching. The schools now a days do not clean the playgrounds therefore transferring ringworm's, tapeworms and pin worms in school aged children. You can tell when the child is itchy and they complain, especially at night.\n\nI give them one when they complain and they rid of them quickly. It is very safe for a 5 year old and anyone in the household or that uses the toilet must be treated also.\n\n* If your child cannot swallow the tablet. Place it in an 8 oz cup of orange juiceand have the drink it all.\n\nbest if taken at night 1 hour before meals as it helps to have an empty stomach and does not cause irritation.

She's right about the milk. It does thicken secretions and make it harder to get rid of them and the cold virus that's causing the problem.  Chocolate, unless it's in combination with milk, has no effect one way or another.  (Chicken soup with plenty of onion and pepper will actively help. That's one of those old wives' tales that's been medically substantiated.)  Hope you feel better soon.

Remember a fungus is better prevented once it disappears otherwise no drugs help -\n\nAvoid moisture\n\nAvoid antibactirals (antibactrials kill normal bacteria on your body this allows fungus to grow more)\n\nIf you are using too much body sprays stop that - they have antibacterials.\n\nGo to emedicine via google search and you can read some good stuff.\n\nThese are two drugs from emedicine -\n\nDrug Name\n Terbinafine (Lamisil) -- Inhibits squalene epoxidase, which decreases ergosterol synthesis, causing fungal cell death. Use medication until symptoms significantly improve. Duration of treatment should be >1 wk but not >4 wk. \nAdult Dose Apply bid 1-4 wk \nPediatric Dose <12 years: Not established\n>12 years: Apply as in adults \nContraindications Documented hypersensitivity \nInteractions None reported \nPregnancy C - Safety for use during pregnancy has not been established.  \nPrecautions Discontinue use if sensitivity or irritation occurs; for external use only; avoid contact with eyes \nDrug Name\n Clotrimazole (Mycelex, Lotrimin-AF) -- Broad-spectrum antifungal agent that inhibits yeast growth by altering cell membrane permeability, causing fungal cell death. Reevaluate diagnosis if no clinical improvement after 4 wk. \nAdult Dose Gently massage into affected area and surrounding skin areas bid for 2-6 wk \nPediatric Dose Children: Not established\nAdolescents: Apply as in adults \nContraindications Documented hypersensitivity \nInteractions None reported \nPregnancy B - Usually safe but benefits must outweigh the risks.  \nPrecautions For external use only; avoid contact with eyes; if irritation or sensitivity develops, discontinue use

You can treat them like any other indoor allergies with antihistamines and decongestants but there are also prevention methods.  Reduce the level of humidity in your house.  Run the air conditioning or heat if you live in a humid climate.  Also try to elimate any areas of standing water like leaky pipes, bathroom mold/mildew, houseplants.  Any of these can promote the growth of mold.  If you are trying to kill mold in your home, bleach will usually work.
