Following my thread yesterday, dd definately does have chicken pox ... so now tell me about cures & potions please

[funnypeculiar]

hurrah

So, she is utterly unbothered by the spots (mercifully still very few) but in a bath with oats anyway (that's right isn't it?)

Som, I have acqueous (sp?)calamine lotion - do I apply even if she seems fine - does it help them heal or is it just an itch reducer?

TIA

Interesting quiettone. Could a homeopath recommend something over the phone if I described dds symptoms & someone else went to pick up?

I'm over in Germany, but don't think it should make a difference as homeopathic remedies seem to be named in Latin. The one DS1 was prescribed was Rhus Toxicodendron. Tiny little beads of medicine - he had to put 5 under his tongue every hour. He's 3yo so of course he chewed them, but...amazing. I was a complete sceptic before, but it was as though he wasn't ill at all, running around as normal. Just very spotty. The only spot that will scar was the first that came up and blistered, and he scratched it before I could get the GP over to visit. It's on his stomach so shouldn't show if he's a hairy adult!

Sorry, forgot to answer your question. I reckon someone else could pick up the medicine as it's homeopathic. Can anyone else confirm this for the UK though?

dh has just come home early so I can pop to the homeopath
