Hot Baby? Less is Better for Your Children’s Fevers

By: Joette Calabrese

Put down the Tylenol, the phone to the doctor, the analgesics…you can do this on your own! Ordinary fever is not a bad word. It is our friend.

What is a fever anyway? It is the mechanism that the body employs to accompany acute illness such as the flu, colds, ear infections and the like. And it has a function….to cook off the illness. That means it is the body’s way of curing the illness. Did you hear me? Fever is the body’s way to cure the illness. Then why, eradicate the cure by administering Tylenol, aspirin and the like? For the sake of some comfort for a brief few days?

Certainly, we don’t want our child to suffer needlessly, but by employing meds to ward off a fever, we’re trading a short lived illness for a longer term one, plus adding future problems to the mix. Instead of worrying about the fever, pay attention to the illness responsible for the body’s need to produce it. How serious is the illness? Is it chicken pox? A cold, an ear infection? This is what we want to work with. If you’re interested in learning how to address these and other illnesses with homeopathy, my book “Cure Yourself with Homeopathy” is available as a download on http://www.Homeopathyworks.net. It covers childhood illness as well as many other daily occurrences that are best treated with homeopathy.

Having hopefully comforted you with the principle that fever is our friend, let me also mention that I am describing fever that is normal and not over 103.5 degrees. When a fever rises above this, it is time to take action. Homeopathic action, that is.

The premiere remedy for a fever of 103.5 to 105 degrees is Belladonna. Find this remedy at a health food store or better, buy a homeopathy kit and have it right in you medicine chest when you need it at 2AM. The child who requires this remedy presents with a flushed face, reddened eyes, lips and ears. He is either delusional with fever, despondent or looks out of- this- world-like. He can be thrashing and violent as though in a dream. This is a Belladonna fever and ought to be met with a dose every two hours until resolved, but no longer than two days. In very short order the child will be relieved of not just the fever, but usually the entire illness is abated. However, this method isn’t meant to suppress fever, only for it to return in a new episode in a month or two. It is to uproot the illness for the future as well. Have you noticed that once a child gets sick, when treated with conventional over-the-counter meds and especially prescriptions, that he is sick in short order with a similar illness? This is a direct result of the suppression of the first illness. Many doctors will have you believe that it is the fault of your genes…your child has a low tolerance for illness. His immune system is not developed. He’s not like other children. Conversely, the fault lies squarely on the archaic methods of modern medicine.

Suppressed illness equals longer episodes or postponed, deeper illness.
So what is the upshot? Leave fevers of 103 degrees and under alone. Treat high fevers with homeopathy. Simple, inexpensive, intelligent, gentle.
