She’s nine and we finally went to the doctor this morning after 6 days of on and off fever and dry cough. I don’t believe in giving OTC medicines, I have been bathing her, ice packs, and lots of sleep. I have been giving her soups, and fresh juices as well as an herbal echinacea/lemon balm supplement, and I just started colloidal silver three days ago.
I know this is not a medical site, but I was wondering if anyone had any information about giving children silver or could direct me to a resource. Or any other recommendations about what I could do for her. I told the doctor about the silver and she said she’s never heard of it!! HOW can this be? I don’t have the money to go to a doctor outside our plan. AND she told me to feed her chicken soup and yogurt.
The worst part is my family is giving me such a hard time about not giving medicines. My mother-in-law actually told my nine year old daughter that I was tricking her about the medicines and she should be taking them.
I’m so stressed out about seeing my child so uncomfortable and I have no support. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Just a thought, have you tried taking your daughter to a homeopathic specialist rather than a doctor? Doctors of medicine never ask you about anything but the child’s weight so they can dose them up, regardless of the illness. They don’t ask about diet or activity, etc. A homeopathic specialist will treat the whole child and respect your views on meds. Just a thought.
Hey skyespice~ my daughter’s name is Skye! I would love to take her to a homeopathic specialist, my problem is I have no idea how to find one in my area (if there are any in my area) and the cost. It’s tough enough paying my insurance plus $40 co-pays every time. I wish there were (affordable) insurance plans that covered this sort of thing.
