WWYD? Fever and Cough

[bright sparks]

Good luck Mimi. That sounds terrible. Your poor hubby. I got hit with a cold on Sunday. Monday was worse with a nasal drip and now it's all dried up. I swear by sambucol which is black elderberry extract. My whole family has been taking it since my son started with sniffles and a fever on Friday evening and now we are pretty much done. Thank goodness. Also oil of oregano is sometng Ive heard so many people swear by and warm water with honey(preferably local) and cinnamon in it is good for colds. Be well everybody. Spring will be here before you know it :-)

Too many doctors seem to give too many antibiotics rather than letting the illness run a natural course. IF it's a virus, antibiotics can do nothing, and if you take antibiotics when they are not needed....good luck having your body work proper when you do need them and take them, you will build an immunity to the antibiotic and the use of it will be as if taking a sugar pill.
I have also learned, you should never give medication to lower a fever unless the fever reaches a dangerous level....103 or higher. The fever is the bodies signs of naturally working to overcome an unwanted virus. If there is a fever...it's a good thing. If you lower the fever with medication you are taking away the bodies natural ability to fight the illness. I have had so many parents medicate to drop a fever and try to bring there kids, explaining, :the fever is gone" so they can come back to care. Not here!
