Homeopathy question?

How much hepar do I give a 2 year old with a really bad cold and how often?

Excellent advice by Old Cat Lady above, and you must keep in mind Homeopathy treats the patient not the disease or disorder, the complete symptoms of the patient have to be taken into considertaion before you look up an appropriate remedy. The given dosage in 30 or lower potencies is three times a day or every 6 hourly.

The foremost principle in using homeopathic remedies is minimum dosage and careful monitoring of the effects of the remedy. You can give your child 30C of Hepar Sulphuris Calcareum. Try two pellets in a 24 hour period - dissolved in the mouth about an hour between eating or drinking anything else.
If you don't see an improvement then you MUST discontinue its use. It is not the right remedy to help the child.

There are pediatric homeopaths and it is always best to consult one for your child. You should not rely on over-the-counter remedies. There are over 2000 homeopathic remedies used by experienced homeopaths and finding the right remedy for each individual takes a lot of education and professional experience to determine what is the best one.

I am a student of homeopathy, have at least ten reference books in my home about the remedies and participate in four homeopathic forums on the internet. NO BOOK nor any homeopath has ever stated how much and how often. Homepathy is not practiced in that manner.

Give all you like. It's just water and will have no effect. It is impossible to overdose on homeopathic "remedies". Just keep giving it and giving it until you finally realize that it's not doing anything at all.

Monitor temperature but let a slight fever continue. It helps the child's immune system develop. The fever is fighting the cold,.Drink fluids and keep comfortable. follow doctor s' instructions
