Just like every mom in the world, I HATE it when my babies are sick. Recently poor Aubrey woke up burning up with a fever, 102.3. It came out of the blue & we didn't know of anything she had been exposed to. Aubrey does have a history of sinus & ear infections & even allergies making her feel this bad. The only thing she complained with was a headache. So, we went to work to manage her headache & fever. She drank a lot of juice & did a lot of sleeping. We used essential oils (lemon, Thieves, & peppermint), Epsom salt baths, & even a couple of small doses of medicine to bring her temp down.
Even after all of that she was still puny & her temp was coming below 100.8. So, I decided to pull out another natural remedy that I had read about & tried before. The last time I tried it, it worked great. It is a method using eggs whites. Basically you separate the egg white into a bowl. Then fold a paper towel & soak it in the white. Once the paper towel is coated, place the folded paper towel on the bottom of feet & put socks on over. My girls do not like how this feels, but I love how it works. So, I did this with Aubrey & rocked her to sleep. When she woke up, her temperature was 99.3!!! Success!!!
I'll keep this filed away for future reference & I hope that maybe it can be helpful to others as well!!!
