Janyce here, on holiday and have not brought my password with me (and no idea how to access my email while away - not very technical) so I created an alias for myself .

My son (3) has chickenpox at last

He has been feeling very sorry for himself today :9, high temperature, just wanting to be held (by me) or carried. He has been a little sleepy and had quite a long nap over lunch time. He has also been feeling the cold, and it isn’t cold here.

He started to come out in spots early this afternoon, on his neck and his belly, but not very many spots yet. He has been saying his head hurts above his eyes (I had a headache when I had chicken pox). He has been a little better when he has been outside.

I gave him rhus tox 30 a couple of hours ago and want to know if there is anything else I should have done (have limited remedies with me) or how frequently I should repeat this, or if I need to repeat it at all.

He has responded to the rhus tox already. His temperature is down and he is in much better spirits already, although he is still a little clingy and tearful. He has eaten (and said “cookies will make me better” when asked if he wanted anything to eat, but is eating ok)

I also have chamomoila and pulsatilla with me, and will not be able to get anything else until Monday or Tuesday.

Just need someone to tell me if I’m doing the right things, or if there is anything else I could do.

Thanks

Janyce
