Homeopathic medicine for baby ear infections.

I use Kali Muriaticum (6X) for any cold. I found it to be very effective if I give her as soon as see some symptoms of cold.

I got this from India, this is basically for upper respiratory infection.

---------------------------
One is http://www.similasanusa.com/products-earache-relief.cfm

---------------------------

I don't know either. Whenever we went to doctor for Cold/Running nose for my little one (1yr) the only thing they prescribed was amoxycicyllyn (Not sure of spelling) which is an anti-biotic. That seems to be working for few days and he was back to square 1. Apart from that he gobbled 2-3 bottles of tylenol cold :( -- This is when we went to a homeopath and he got cured in 8 days. My son is still on medication (Hai.. There are no side effects) and he is doing well as of now...

-----------------------------
There is one called "Similasan" you could try. It is available at Long's Drugs over the counter. I had bought this about 7 or 8 months back from the Longs at Metro Center plaza and it did render relief to me. This is safe and effective on kids as well.

------------------------------

I've always used Pulsatilla for ear infections for my children. It
always works and they've never been on antibiotics. Your best bet is to
get a 1M dilution of Pulsatilla and give 3 doses (3-5 capsules each
dose) over a 24 hour period. The medicine must be given 20 minutes
before or after food or drink.

On the East coast u can order from www.homeopathyworks.com.

There may be places on the West coast that you can purchase it.

-------------------------------

Homepathy medicine is really good and does not harm the kids as
antibiotics do.

You could consult a doctor.

My Homephatic Doctor cured my son on ear infections.

be careful about homeo medicine you get here. one of my wif'es colleague's kid got some serious side effects from homeo medicine. it is caused by over dosage and many of the doc's here are not qualified. i wanted to post this inthe group but getting some error, may be I need to subscribe.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
For my kids, homepathic medicine seems to help in prevention.
Whenever they start getting a cold, we start them off on
homeopathic over the counter cold medicine (bought at whole
foods, several brands available). In the last couple of
times cold went away without becoming an ear infection.

Once the ear is infected, I feel it is too late for homepathic
medicine to work.

Recommendations or experiences with treatment of frequent migraines

I don't have too much knowledge on this. I used zomig whenever i had migraine attack. My condition used to be worse whenever i had any migraine attack. The best thing i had done is self-detective. I now know at least some things which trigger an attack. I am extra careful with those things and I had only one attack this year compared to six last year.

So, apart from medicine, try to find out the things which triggers the migraine.

To whomever you are asking for, I hope they get better. Its lot of suffering to go through.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I have had migraines since I was 14. I have tried everything from immitrex to pain killer shots. The only thing that works for me these days is plain advil at the onset of pain or Excedrin migraine if it gets really bad. My migraines are normally stress and stomach related. Meditation, especially when I am stressed and keeping my stomach happy are my best defenses.

If you can figure what causes migraine then half the battle is won. Hope this helps.

When I was young, I had this problem. I discovered that drinking lots of warm water and exercise made that go away. Cold water will freeze the body system and decrease the blood circulation, and that will make it worse. I didn't like to drink water and never made time to exercise before.

Have you tried Relpax ? It's a very good mediciane...sometimes I take it myself...

I took Acupuncture treatments, now I longer have migraines.

1. Stop having coffee.
2. Drink a lot of water, including in the weekend, since our routine
changes in the weekend. Keep water in your car, wherever you go.
3. Try to keep the same sleeping pattern in the weekend, especially
not to sleep in the afternoons.

I have had frequent migraines in the past, sometimes more than 9 headaches in a month, and I have learned how to get them under control with the help of Dr. Kenneth Peters. Dr. Peters is well respected in this field of migraine treatment. I heard about him through three other people independently. He runs a special clinic for headache treatment in the El Camino Hospital area in Mountain View.

He may prescribe preventative treatments such as dietary supplements (magnesium, riboflavin, feverfew herb, CoQ10), antidepressants, and anticonvulsants (topomax), as well as the usual triptans such as maxalt and imitrex, to treat acute symptoms.
