Quick question about oscillo... - Page 2

I would give it again when we started to lose ground. So for me (just because I just had this) I took it when I realized the massive headache was, in fact the onset of the flu. Then I took it again whenever I started to feel symptoms again. They changed (hence the name!) and sometimes it was body aches, headache, sinus pressure, sore throat, cough etc. Whenever I started feeling anything I took it.

Now, if I gave say 3 doses to a kidlet and nothing changed I'd move on and select a different remedy. I never give more than 3-5 pellets unless I slip and pour out too much. However since it was clear I needed it several times a day I put 10ish pellets in a dropper bottle and just took the doses from that. A dropperful as needed.

So in the case of your kiddo (you could also look at aconite which is excellent for anything with a rapid onset) I would have given it maybe every half hour for three doses. Then I would have dosed anytime he started complaining again, or seemed miserable. If it didn't improve his experience, I'd move on. The biggest thing to remember is that homeopathy isn't meant to take away illness. It's meant to support the body and lessen both the extremity of the illness as well as the duration. I don't look for fever to go down, I look for kids to feel okay despite the fever.

I give it for as long as it's needed. I needed it for almost a week, all told. I had a day and a half in the middle where I didn't. However once I started feeling off again I started up. Does that help?

So I just gave my 3yr old a half tube of the oscillio. He has been sneezing a little and I notice his breath smells odd. This happened last time he got sick w a cold. So when should I give the other half and other doses or should I give the entire contents as the pkg says. I'm gonna give him some extra vit c tonight too.

up to you. the way homeopathy works it's not the volume you give, it's the frequency. As I said I just do 3-5 pellets. I would give it again in the next 30-60 minutes if the symptoms aren't improving. After that I'd just give it as needed. If it's a good fit, you'll see a change-again look for emotional shifts first. The first sign of crankiness, complaining, lethargy or what have you is when I'd dose again.

sure, its a sugar pill... so you could give it to you 16 month old.

I just use regular old oscillo.

Is there a difference between regular and children's?

[Panserbjorne]

it's the same remedy. It *may* be in smaller vials, but I can't say for sure. In terms of the ingredients it's the same remedy at the same potency. I'm guessing it's more of a marketing thing as having "children's" on it tends to make parent's feel safer.

I'm so happy I found this thread again. My DS just came down with a fever and I gave him a few pellets of the Oscillio 2 x already. He's asleep now so
I'm hoping this will help. After the second dose he seemed much more comfortable. I hate seeing my DS sick and I don't want to use Tylenol or Motrin. I get scared though if the fever gets high and he looks too uncomfortable. Going to check out some other old threads that I read about fevers.
