Hi Stacy,

Regarding the chest olds all the other recommendations I made today

apply.

The 3 yr old may have pain over the kidney area due to coughing too.

Any other symptoms that make you think it is an infection?

Ok... first question... hows the diet.. are they eating alot of fruits veggies juices... are alot of sugar,e tc.

Second, in the files under Dr.Ian Shillington .. make up some total tonic and echinacea plus... (ech is 1 week on 1 week off).... there is also a dosage rule in there.

Start pushing more organic juices... Garlic cloves (raw) chew and swallow or slice longways and swallow... to get them down the kids.. good for respitory... a couple times a day if you can.

Vitamin C and panther piss also.

Cranberry juice for the kidneys would be good.

Other symptoms include runny nose, with clear drainage, and a fever. One of my 3 yo is also complaining of back pain. He indicates over his kidney area. I'm wondering if he doesn't have a kidney infection. He just started potty training about 3 weeks ago. Since he is now having to hold his urine for a few minutes, until he gets to the potty, I thought that could be causing him problems.
