HI - My son (3years old) has a high fever. His temp was 105.4 - so we immediately put him in the bath to cool him down.

His fever went down (within minutes) to 103.8. We also gave him 7ml of Brufen, but he vomited it up within 3-5 minutes.

The fever started today, around 3pm-ish. And it has steadily gotten higher.

He has been sick with this for four days. The first day he vomited (around 2pm) and ran a fever - about 102.8. Was fine the next morning and BEGGED to go to school.

2nd day - same thing - BUT NO VOMITING...same fever.
3rd day - same fever pattern - no vomiting...and still upset at the prospect of not going to school next day....
Each morning he woke and was fine...went to school (threw himself on the floor and waiiiiiiled to go...even said that there was a toilet there in case he needed to vomit!).

All the fevers - 12t 2nd and 3rd day - sweated AFTER going to bed (and wanted to be covered)...perhaps being covered MADE him sweat?

Anyhow - NO SWEAT today...despite being covered (he wants to be snuggled up against his dalmation hooded towel..or covered in bed) - although he shows no desire to be covered UNLESS he's lying down on the settee or bed.

Please advise...
Thanks
Lisa

tHIS, COULD BE MALARIA, GET IT CHECKED, DO YOU GOT CHINA 200?? USE ONE DOSE 200. WOULD GIVE CHANGED DOSES UPWARDS TILL THE FEVER BREAKS IN PERSPIRATION.
Tuberculinum , could also be a choice, but china is my first choice here.

Lisa, that's too high to take a risk with in my opinion. 105 is dangerous. I advise calling the doctor immediately.
From what you have said he needs the homoeopathic remedy Arsenicum, and since you have neither that nor Aconite which GM recommended, unless you will try the writing it on paper and placing a glass on top, then there's no more homoeopathy can do, without the necessary homoeopathic medicines being available. Sorry my dear. Think it's time for allopaths, as some medicine is needed.

I just posted as GM did. Malaria is a very good idea, in which case China, yes.
Whatever you do, don't allow the fever to exceed 105 again, put him in the bath as you did before.
And call the doctor.

Lisa, I'll be praying for your little one.

It, could also be appendicitis, or a other inflamation in the intestes..check it out as fast as you can.

HI - I have China 12, 13, 200, 1M and LM1...so I just gave 200 and will go up if needed...but how often?? (I know to give increased potencies until perspiration breaks, but how much time in between the doses of increased potency?).

Also, if I get to 1M and still no sweat - is LM1 the next one up?? (I've always meant to ask that!). AND, do I keep giving repeat doses of the highest potency - and for how long??
Pleas advise...want to be sure I've got this straight.
Thanks much!!!!!!!
Lisa

monitor the fever, every five minutes.aif going down, dont give more, not before you see it raise again. and if persp comes, leave it, wait monitor. But do get this checked, and poke the tummy area with one finger, find excatly where it hurts.

HI -thanks...

Is LM1 HIGHER than 1M? Please confirm this or not...

Also, I palpated his abdomen, no signs of appendicitis...he just giggled and said it tickled. Upper abdomen is sore though - he pointed and boldy told me "THAT is where it hurts - don't tickle me."

thx...Lisa

Lisa, yes, if the sweat doesn't break after 1M and the fever continues to rise, move to LM1, dissolving a granule in a bottle of water and succussing the bottle (striking it against your palm) five times between doses, so as to increase the potency between doses.

If GM's message isn't clear, he is also saying get medical help - that's what he means by "check it out as fast as you can".
