3 year old with fever

Since I just gave him the Belladonna a half hour ago, should I wait to give him the Ferr phos for a couple of hours?

I didn't give my son anymore remedies until tonight before bed, because his fever left last night and there were no symptoms all day.

Tonight he has a fever again. It was about 101 F when he went to bed. I gave him Ferr phos.

He woke up shortly after falling asleep with a nightmare or something and I spent about 15 minutes getting him calmed back down. He had done this one night recently before he got sick too.

It looked like he was pulling his ear and I pressed in on the front of his ear and he seemed to become more upset. I asked him if it hurt and he said no, but I think he was asleep. He had an ear infection recently, so I am wondering if this is it returning?

If he wakes up tomorrow with no further symptoms having developed over night, should I hold any remedies again to see if he is better? Or should I keep alternating Bell and Ferr Phos?

I also want to ask what anyone thinks of using vaporizers. Since his nose is stuffed up seeming, I put the vaporizor.

I always have mixed feelings about it even though it has a new filter because I think it is still putting allergens into the air. It has a funny smell especially when I first put it on. Kind of an alcohol kind of smell.

Thanks sajjad. And by alternating, is it Ferr phos and bell alternating in one day's time or ferr phos for one day and bell for the next day?

I have been alternating the Bell and Ferr phos for a few days now. Last night my son had a dry cough in the middle of the night and was okay today.

Now tonight he woke up coughing at about 10:30. He also had woken up earlier around 9:30 or 10:00 crying and yelling, not really awake.

He doesn't have a fever anymore.

He often comes over to our bed around 3 or 4 in the morning. We are not sure if he is cold or not so have put a space heater in his room before he goes to bed to warm up the room, but have to remove it for safety purposes after he is in there. This has been a very common occurrence for the last 6 months. In the summer, we thought it was because he was too hot and woke up. When the temps are more mild, he does sleep better and stays in his bed. However, his reasons for coming over to our bed (that he says anyway) vary from seeing shadows to being cold. This is kind of off the topic but I wonder if it is important information for you to have about him.

Should I continue the Bell and Ferr Phos?

I should also add that since the fever started he has been breathing loudly at night, almost snoring.

I never gave my son the Natrum Mur 3x because I only have it in 12c and while I was deciding what to do, he seemed to get better as far as the disturbed sleep and cough were concerned.

He was fine for several days and then on Jan 1, he had a fever again for just a night. He had some restless nights of sleep after that, but still not as he was before.

On about Tuesday, he started scratching his head a lot. I hadn't thought a lot of it because I get dry skin in the winter and often itch all over my body, not so much my head. I think this may be what it is but I'm not sure. I checked for head lice but am not sure really what I am looking for. I found something that was black, but it didn't look so much like a bug as it did a scab from itching. He has scabs and red marks on his scalp. Some of the red marks are little pinpoint circles and some are from his fingernails.

Then last night around 5:30 he told us he had a fever and he did. It was about 101.5 F under the arm at it's highest point. I gave him Belladonna. It seems to be not getting higher than that. It is now about 5 am and his forehead seems cooler if not normal.

He has been very sensitive to touch and noise during his fever.

He said that his head hurts and I tried to find out if it is a headache or his scalp. I asked if it hurts inside or outside and he said inside, but I don't know if he really understood what I was asking.

He also said that the area between his ribs above his abdomen hurts. His respiratory rate was fine but he did seem uncomfortable with breathing for a while until his fever went down. I don't know if he just has general achiness or if there really was a breathing problem.

He had a bit of a runny nose before falling asleep last night too. His nose has consistently been stuffed up over the last several weeks. It is winter and the heater is on.

I don't really think the itchy head and the fever are related, but want you to know about it and if there is anything that can help both, that would be great.

Thanks.

It turns out that my son does have head lice. We are treating it with olive oil on his head. He is complaining of it hurting so I gave him ledum. I think it helped for a while.

Would the fever be related to this?

Any suggestions?

sajjad, my son's fever is gone this morning. He complained that his ear hurt so I gave him Bell again anyway. Should I just continue this for a while again?

Also, can you explain more what you mean about his fever being related to his coming to our bed?

And do I alternate Staphysagria with Bell? And at what frequency?

I have another question about my daughter who is also sick but I am going to put it on a separate post.

sajjad, I posted again this morning, but have a question about getting the staphysagria tincture. I couldn't find it on the ABC homeopathy website to purchase in tincture form, unless I am misunderstanding what I look at. Another website said that it is available only by prescription. How may I acquire some?

My son has a fever again, starting late yesterday afternoon. It was sudden and he had a flushed face. It went to about 102.5 F under the arm. I used Bell and it didn't seem to be taking it away.

Today I switched him to Ars Alb. He was in a good mood most of the day and played quietly. I considered Pulsatilla but he isn't normally Puls and he wasn't clingy.

After taking the Ars Alb his fever went down for a while. He began to get a little possessive with his toys. I don't know if it was the wrong remedy or if he was just feeling better and acting more like he usually does. But now his fever is back up to 101.7 F under the arm.

He has few other symptoms again. He did vomit last night after drinking a lot of water in the middle of the night and laying down. His fever was pretty high at that point. It was mostly water that he vomited.

I called the doctor today and they are unconcerned that this is a recurring fever. Is this normal in young children? Also, what should I be giving my son for the fever?

My son got better Saturday night after I kept giving him Ars Alb. Last night he had a temp under 100F and I gave him more Ars Alb.

Now again tonight, early evening, he started getting a higher fever again. It is 101.2 F under the arm now. He is complaining of his eye hurting. His right eye is kind of puffy. He says his nose hurts. He is a little stuffed up.

When he woke up from a nap that he took this evening he was very cranky, partly I think because I was taking his temperature. He finally settled down and is now eating some supper.

He says he wants to be well again. He is weepy and, although I hate the word, whiny, and this is not like him.

What can I give him? This time it seems to be more than just a fever and it is not going away.

Now, just a few minutes after my last post, my son became very upset and says his head hurts in the back and top. He continues to say he just wants to be better. I suspect he may hurt all over. Would Gelsemium help with this?
