Like I was some child abusing mother. I talked to the doctor about what happened he was on my side.

I know how you feel...i myself am in to the natural health,you learn alot!!I myself have been told time after time..when a child has a fever,to never fight it with tylenol or over the counter meds..the body needs to fight the fever,It is how the body is able to heal!!Of course if the fever is really high,i may administer some meds!!!but if it is a low grade fever then i would let the childs body fight it....i have done it many times and it works..seems my kids don't have to visit the doctor much at all!!!!

if it's moderately high, just take luke warm cloth, and place it under armpits and groin area......it really helps to bring the fever down, and the little one can just relax, i know mine hate being put in a bath when they feel woozy so it really helps

Hey girls, I used to work in a medical clinic and we would have meetings on occaision. We were told by the nursing supervisor that it wasn't the sanitizer or the soap that actually killed the germs but the friction when rubbing your hands together. They had us do a test washing and used some kind of light to see how well we had done after the rinsing. GO figure!! Here's a pretty interesting site to check out on some pretty inexpensive ways to stay and get healthy. Folk Medicine Archive later.
