what should i do
Answer:
If you really want her to feel superior fast give her some organic aple cider vinegar to drink , hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball in each ear, and some perpermint oil behind her ears on her chest and solar plexus (stomach)
The apple cider vinegar needs to have the mom in it to be effective(BRAAGS is the ideal brand) You should water it down a little or put it in juice, because the taste can be pretty strong. My 3 year old daughter adores it when I just put 1 tabelspoon of ACV in 1 oz of water.
It might burn for a few seconds but it will help a lot with the pain and inflamation, and it will alkalize her body's ph which will help her recover a lot faster.
www.earthclinic.com has a lot more info on it as well as a ton of other natural remedies.
The hydrogen peroxide in the ear will relieve a lot of pressure in the head and boost her immune system a lot. You just put a little of the 3% solution that you get in the brown bottels from the drugstore, on a cotton ball and let it run into the ear for 10-20 minutes or until the crackling sound stops or slows down a lot.( the crackling comes from the hydrogen peroxide disolving the ear wax.
The pepermint oil will help to clear her sinuses when she inhales it , when put on the soles of her feet it will draw down a fever, and on the solar plexus will help with nausea.
I would avoid nyquil if at all possible because all that is going to do is shut down her symptoms temporarily, which will actually make her take longer to recover overall.
The things listed above will help with the symptoms and help her heal quickly. I have used those remedies many many times with fantastic results
Answer:
yes if she's not especially small for her age. the over 12 guide is more about size. i would guess she should be at lease 80lbs for an adult dosage. if she's not try 1/2 dose.
