That's right, that's why the best treatment for cold is by natural means, like Honey,Caraway, and vitamen c containing fruits like guava,kiwi,lemon and orange.

I've used their homeopathic "no-drip liquid nasal gel" Cold Remedy. I love it and it always prevents me from getting a cold if I take it at the first sign of any symptoms. I''ve never experienced any side effects.\n\nI've taken many different homeopathic remedies over 20 years and find this one to be excellent. Just follow the directions.

oh i feel so sorry for your little one! that's way too long to be sick. and a fever of 104 is extremely high which can be dangerous. when my daughter was 16 months, her fever got so high she had a seisure. the doctor said very high fevers can cause brain damage. you should give your daughter motrin which will really knock that fever out for alot longer period of time than tylenol. i have had several doctors tell me over the years that you can give motrin and tylenol at the same time. i really hope she gets well real soon. i will say a prayer for her as soon as i'm done typing this. oh geeze i just realized you said may 19, i thought it said may 6! so it's been about 4 days, hang in there. a month ago my 4 year old son was sooooo sick for 4 days, high fevers, vomiting, i was so scared i took him to ER twice and the clinic once. it was just something i had to wait out and let it take it's course.

Nyquil is not meant to give you a nice buzz and should only be taken if you are sick.\n\nhttp://www.angelic1healing.com

Try salt water gargling or steam inhalations. Avoid icecreams and other cold stuff. Hot soups definately do alleviate the cold. If too bad try an anti-histamine tablet. It helps.

Ironic? maybe but you need to look further into it. what drugs are you willing to tell your kids its okay to do? well surely not any that would harm them it is up to you to raise your kids with the idea that theyshouldn't do drugs that harm them. as im sure you already knew that. alcohol, weed, maybe not so harmless to some individuals. cocaine, heroine, lsd, there is no need to think that you shouldn't tell your kids not to do these, these drugs do harm you, (not all) but most. you could simply go to the nearest health food store, herbal shops, etc.. and figure out natural remedies for your children, and do those.. the realization that the government, FDA, will not pull drugs, antibiotics, etc.. off the market and tell you to get natural remedies is a must to understand.. So to answer your question is it ironic? YES. is there anything policy wise we could change? probably not..

This is such a coincidence! Saturday, after a day at the swimming pool I came home with a fever! I had nbo idea what was wrong with me because I had no stomach pains, no kidney problem, nothing out of the ordinary but the throbbing headache.\n\nSo I took a nighttiime tylenol and took a short nap, then at night I took another one and went to sleep. I woke up better , with no fever nor headache. It was weird! Today I feel totally better.  HAPPY MONDAY! \n\nGO USA! (My team, USA, is playing in the world cup, I hope we win!)

You aren't saying what type of medications you're taking. The stronger the pain medication, seems the more side effects like sleepiness go with it. Can you take Ibuprofen? \nI'm 40 and it sounds to me like you've done quite a bit in your life and you want to continue to do so, especially because that's what your children want? Children, bless their hearts, usually want what the parent wants, for their parents to be happy. =)\nAre there things you can do that aren't physically challenging? Maybe sell stuff on Ebay?\nIt's hard to give advice on something I have little feedback on. I hope you find the answers you're looking for.

I have begged voters to pass it.  I have been taking 4 shots a day since I was a little kid for my illness.  My family has had such a tough time with medical care and constant worry.  The illness I have is genetic so my siblings don't have children.  I hope it passes and I hope that those of you with chronic and genetic illnesses will get better too!  Best of luck to you!!

Poor thing. Hopefully the chemist is open by now. For the skin I used Aloe Vera Bio Active Gel on my kids, as well as calamine. Cool baths helped. Piriton for the itch. Not sure about the mouth, but you could try ice pops. And lots of calpol/nurofen of course. Hope he's over the worst soon. Hang on in there.

I feel your pain, and share your view in general on medications. I have a daughter, now 8 years old who has ADHD. They told me when she was six that she needed to be medicated and I absolutely refused to consider it. I thought that medication was being used way too often and I was not about to put her on it. Well, things continued to get worse for her, me our family as we tried to control her behaviors without meds. She started losing her friends, doing poorly in school, and her brothers started to resent her for the behaviors she would act out and ruin our family outings. I finally agreed about 6 months ago  to try her on the lowest dose possible to try to make things a little better. Now, I regret not doing it sooner. She is by no means perfectly behaved or on task, but she is now able to do her school work with minimum redirecting, sustain friendships, and has control over her behaviors. This medication has not altered her pesonality or put her in to a dazed state like I thought it would. It really has just helped her to be able to live a more normal life. She still has her times when she doesn't want to listen, do homework and pouts or cries, but it is now within reasonable limits. I agree that medication should not just be handed out like candy, but sometimes the child really does need it. With proper monitoring and dosage your son should be fine. The only side effect my daughter has had is a little weight loss, but even that tapered off after the first 2 months. She is a much happier child now, and it is a much more peaceful house. I wish you luck with your son, and in making this decision, as I know it is a hard one to make. I fought it for 1 1/2 years. Good Luck.

Ahh Oil of Oregano!  My grandpa is an Oil of Oregano freak.  He takes it everyday.  He hasn't had a cold for like 8 years.  Apparently it boosts your immune system quite a bit.  My cousin had an infection and he went to the ER, they asked him if he was on any antibiotics and he said no but he had been taking Oil of Oregano.  They said there was a build-up antibodies in his systems because of the Oil.  They also said if it was there he probably would have died.  Its good stuff!

First of all, nobody knows what the cause of this is. There is much speculation, and theories but there is no proof yet. Firstborn males barn in winter months are at a slightly higher risk of SIDS. To answer your question, there is no proof that tylenol will cause SIDS. I routinely give it to kids for pain related to vaccines as well as fever, and have been doing so for years.  A few years ago, we used to tell moms to place their children to sleep on their tummies, as many kids sleep better like this. When we started to see that Great Britain had a lower rate of SIDS, we reversed oour stance, and told moms to place their babies to sleep on their backs. Since then, our rate of SIDS halved itself. \n\nFrom your post, it seems that you did nothing that could have caused this, so it was completely out of your control. I am linking you to a site that has a pretty extensive review of the topic. Going forward on this, you are probably going to ask what your chances of having another child with sids is going to be. I will probably have to recommend that you first speak with Hunter's pediatrician and seek a genetics evaluation to rule out the most common disorders - otherwise you will be miserable during your next pregnancy. \n\nMy wife and I lost our second baby during 9/11 in NYC, Daniela came after that. Please do not give up. You seem like a caring individual and you will make a great mom yet again.
