Val,

This kind of patient needs proper treatment and care. It is a matter of child’s health. The child must be suffering from fever but you gave ant tart. Fever should be treated first. I think your wife is correct in her opinion.

Read this para it will help you in understanding homeopathy

When a patient has been taking some allopathic medication for a very long period, it is not possible to withdraw the drug immediately. Sudden withdrawl of drugs used in diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, arrhythmias, hormonal disorders, glomeru nephritis etc can sometime prove disastrous for the patient. In such cases usually the homeopathic treatment is started along with the allopathic medicines, and as the condition of the patient starts improving, the allopathic drugs are tapered slowly.

But in such cases obtaining a cure becomes very difficult as the homeopath has to prescribe on the mixed symptomatic state due to disease and the drugs.

When a patient is unwilling to get proper homeopathic treatment for his/her chronic complaints but wants to get her isolated acute conditions treated homeopathically, then homeopaths usually do not deny treatment to such patients.

In pre-surgery, post-surgery, and trauma cases homeopathic medicines are often given along with allopathic medicines.

During the course of a proper homepathic treatment for chronic ailments, if a patient suffers from an acute isolated condition (unrelated to his chronic tendencies) (like sick headache due to night watching, or vomiting due to too much wine etc (indisposition)) then allopathic medicine for such condition (if is required) can be used. The reason behind this thought is that often homeopathic medicines can interfere with each others action or can change the disease picture enough to make the follow-up prescribing difficult. This is not good for the long term treatment of such patients.

These are some of the conditions when homeopathic medicines are given along with the allopathic medicines.

My request to you. Don't give any homoeopathic medicine with allopathy to your child. Just wait....

May allah bless your child. I am praying for you.
