Thanks Sarah for the input. I agree about the antibiotics, but I was hoping there was something that might work with them. I wish we had a good homeopath near us because I would work with them exclusively. I am just not as remedy savvy as I would like to be and I get scared-my husband is a self-employed carpenter and when he doesn't work we don't have any money coming in. Sorry to sound so whiney! Dr. Panos was our doctor when our kids were young and I always trusted her.

I posted this ? on another board and someone there suggested pyrogenium 6C and echinacea 6C used 4 times a day. Maybe I shouldn't even bother trying to find them locally. I am going to have my husband switch to the tea tree, though. I don't know if he will go for stopping the oral antibiotics. He may, though; we have seen some amazing things happen with homeopathics.
