Minor Infections

Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a particularly valuable treatment against infection, as it is not advisable to use antibiotics, especially tetracycline, during pregnancy.

Aconite, Belladonna, or Ferrum phosphooricum: any of these 'anti-fever' remedies can be used, to be chosen according the patient's symptoms.
-Four 5c tablets of one of these remedies to be sucked slowly, several times in succession, reducing the frequency once the infectious symptoms begin to improve

• You could also try an Aconite compound such as: Aconitum-Homaccord@ (Heel) which contains Aconite D2, D19, D30, D200, Eucalyptus D2, D10, D30 and lpecacuanha D2, D10, D30, D200:
  -Available in drop bottles containing 30 and 100ml
  -generally 10 drops to be taken three times daily. Initially 10 drops every 15 minutes
• I recommend instituting preventive measures, as these will spare you most winter colds and infections

Oligotherapy

• Copper is the basic anti-infectious agent, and should be prescribed systematically at the first sign of infection.

You can take this in colloidal form, such as Organic Minerals (Colloidals) which contains 70+ trace minerals:
- Available in 946ml bottles
- Take 1-3 caps just before breakfast and/or evening meal
- Children 1 teaspoon daily for each 20lbs of body weight

Or Maximol (Ionized colloidals):

- Available in 500ml bottles
- Take 1/2 capful once or twice daily on an empty stomach

You should get an accurate medical diagnosis for a fever, especially during pregnancy. But remember that being pregnant raises the body's temperature to about 37.4° in the morning and 37.8° at night.
