But then, there are no "safe" fever reducers for children either. Actually there are..... there are various essential oils that work wonders (ask my kid)..... there are Asian techniques that work wonders too. Fever is actually the bodies way of fighting off a virus or bacteria that invaded the body. Unless the temperature is extremely high, sometimes it is best left alone. But that is MY opinion, shared by many, even some in the western medical community. lol T I think you're right about the latter but I don't know that esssential oils cannot harm some. It'd be impossible to predict a rare allergy. 'Kate I would not suggest someone using them without prior knowledge or consulting with a professional aromatherapist first. Just like with any 'medicine', one must use with caution. EO's are typically used diluted though to minimize any chance of a skin reaction but one EO, lavender, has been ok'ed to use neat and is great for fever reduction. One must use the REAL form of lavender oil which isn't typically what is sold in stores. What many companies sell is not lavender but a synthetic form. Those situations is where trouble can arise because if one reads lavender is good for use on burns, uses a synthetic form without knowing better, the burn can actually be worse. That would lead the person to think they had an allergic reaction. I once tested a traditional Chinese method called cupping on my daughter. I cupped points that would pull heat out of the body.... checked the temp. before and after and literally the temp went down 3 degree's in a matter of minutes. Yes, it could have been a misread or anything a scientist would argue but the fact she felt better told me more. T |

If they knew they were allergic - I didn't know I was allergic to minocycline (a common antibiotic from the same drug family as tetracycline) until I ended up having an life-threatening rection. T |

I woke up covered in hives after a week on the antibiotics, and by that afternoon had lost my voice and was wheezing...... ended up in Urgent Care, getting pumped full of meds to stop the reaction and open the airways, and ordered a new Medic Alert bracelet when we were done (I already knew I was allergic to penicillin)..... the bracelets are ugly as hell, but not as ugly as another allergic reaction.

Cele Are they not the ugliest thing? Someone should make pretty ones. Pink, in fact! I have a severe latex allergy, and I make sure all medical personnel know it. I know I do not want another reaction to that stuff! It is in everything too. Bleh! V |
