Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 I imagine fever has to just be a peice of the symptom picture, but let's start there: what exactly is the fever like- how high is it exactly, is it constant or does it peak, is it worse day or night, and what else is going on with the child? What is their experience of Roseola infantum like? Does that include poor appeptite, poor sleep, poor bowel movements, skin condition, fussy or irritable mood, etc... When we have a fuller understanding of the symptom picture, you can then find homeopathic remedies to match it. So rather than just suppressing a fever, which is part of the natural healing process (which yes, can heal you at the expense of dying), you can work with the body and it's healing processes to restore balance...
