Hello,
Robin gave very good suggestions. The one that I would use first is the oregano oil. It's very strong.
North American Herb & Spice company has two products which I use and will have on hand for the flu season.
1. Oreganol oil tiny softgels which are taken in the middle of a meal. NOT TO USE if you have ulcers etc. Product Oreganol Super Strength P73. Check it out on www.iherb.com You could open one of these softgels & use.
2. Oreganol Super Strength P73 Liquid. Both from North American Herb & Spice Co. This bottle is very expensive but I wouldn't be without it on hand. $75 ? Not sure but check it out. I don't like the smell (very strong) but I used it last week for a swollen gland under my ear. Just rub some of this oil on the gland 2-3 times a day and usually the soreness is gone in a couple of days. DON'T GET IT NEAR EYES.
Another suggestion if someone has an open cut. OPEN a PROBIOTIC capsule and put the white powder on the cut, scrape etc. and cover with a bandage. Repeat 2-3 times a day especially before bed to make sure the cut looks OK. It doesn't hurt. You can do this if you've been to the dentist and it's sore. Just put the powder on the sore inside your mouth. It tastes like bread. Not really bad.
EARACHES: These drops are GREAT. Flu season is coming. Product MULLEIN & GARLIC EARDROPS BY HERB PHARMA. Small orange bottle about $10. These are helpful if one has a cold and you feel pressure in your ears. It makes them feel better. Of course for earaches too. Check with your doctor if your child has bad ear problems such as punctured eardrum before using.
Wholefoods has the drops and I'm sure www.iherb.com does too.
Colloidal Silver is great to have on hand.
