Aconite, Belladonna and Chamomilla - or ABC - are the three primary childhood fever remedies in one combination, and together are a great asset as a parent; if your child has a fever, it’s no time to be wondering which remedy is going to be best. Given timely, these remedies can nip whatever your child is brewing neatly in the the bud, making life a lot easier for all concerned and removing the need for further pharmaceutical medication.
A fever is a sign of a healthy immune system and is a sign that your child’s body is working to fight the cold, earache, etc. Of course it is vital that you keep close attention to your child and ensure that they are hydrated and that you follow NHS guidance: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/fever-in-children/. In addition to following this guidance, give ABC every 30 minutes for 4 doses and watch your child’s response.
Paracetamol/Ibuprofen will generally bring down the fever and make your child more comfortable, but it will not address what’s causing the fever. Homeopathic remedies on the other hand, stimulate the immune system and help push the body through the acute and back to health. Always seek medical advice if you are concerned and please feel free to get in touch with me regarding the homeopathic approach to your child’s health.
