The following remedies will be useful however ill your child
is, even if there are spots absolutely everywhere. If you have any concerns at
all, then please talk to your doctor, and also give one of us a ring - we are
always happy to help.
The prime remedy for chickenpox is Rhus toxicodendron. The
child will be very itchy, and quite possibly restless. Pick up a Rhus tox 30
from us, and give the child a dose four times a day for 24 hours. If they are
coping better, then keep giving the remedy for another two days. By that point,
they should be improving and you can begin to tail the remedy off, giving one
dose less every day for the next three days.
If the Rhus tox doesn’t help after the first 24 hours, think
about these remedies, and give them in the same way as the instructions above:-
Aconite - the chickenpox will have come on suddenly and
fiercely, the child will be restless and is likely to have a high fever.
Antimonium tartaricum - the spots might be slow to emerge,
and the child is likely to develop a nasty cough.
Belladonna - the patient will be hot and red, possibly with
a headache, and will be sleepy but not able to sleep
Mercurius - the spots will be infected - red, swollen and
with signs of pus.
