Re: HELP!! 5 years old has a BUMP on his neck....
do the salt and water
Water Cure and use bottled distilled water if you have to.
i would also do the cold sitz bath. if the child is quite active, the hydration should be enough. but if you want faster results, the cold sitz is the sure fire way.
get the child as warm as possible in a warm tub of water. then drain the water and pour cool water, at least 50 degrees cooler than body temp onto the area from the belly button to the genitals and anus areas. do this for fifteen minutes, letting the water run off the nether parts. repeat this as often as you need to start getting results. you will get results.
taking the child to the docotr will expose him to their harmful methods, most likely
Antibiotics or some such shot or pills. i would never do that to my children. in fact, my children are old enough now that they refuse to go to a doctor, my youngest being 14. she absolutely knows better, seeing how her brother had his tonsils out(his mothers idea) and her friends and their siblings have had the operation too. this is the opportunity doctors wait for. feed them a good organic yogurt and mix a good probiotic in there. they need good bugs to compete with the bad bugs and maintain balance in the body. odds are, this child has already had more than one course of
Antibiotics in their life. more will make it worse, not better. swollen tonsils or recurring strep infections is the surgeons green light to cut your child. how dare they!!!!!
