But I took oscillo for a fever once, and it dropped SO fast! But then trying it a different time, it didn't do anything at all. I admit I'm not that knowledgeable about homeopathics, though.

Okay this is going to sound dumb but IME with colds, once you find the right treatment, it seems to work more often. My dd1 responds very quickly to hepar sulphur calcareum for snotty noses. It makes it hard to keep in the house If pulsatilla isn't working for the snotty nose, you probably need a different remedy. My dd2 haven't figured out because I was out of hepar sulph. calc. when she was sick recently (not to mention I forgot to give it to her and LisaM recommended I try it )

So the first thing I always turn to for dd1 is hepar sulphur calc

have you looked at abchomeopathy.com they have a thorough remedy finder I do find it a bit tough tol determine a specific remedy for kids because they can't explain their symptoms so it's only based on your observation. I usually have "cold calm" on hand in case the other remedies I have for runny noses isn't working. Cold calm is a combination remedy but I can't remember the manufacturer.

This is a great thread. I love those kits at homeopathyworks.com Jelly bean, how many doses come in the 1 dram bottles. My problem with my kits is that one cold can wipe out a remedy around here with 5 of us


For kits, I have hyland's kits kit and a boiron kit that is no longer sold because it's so old I just keep refilling it although I am reconsidering getting a new/different one. I really like the kids kits at homeopathyworks.com . Here is a picture of the boiron kit with drawers. that was asked about earlier in the thread http://www.natural-living.com/boironkit.php you can also buy it at abchomeopathy or even buy an empty drawer like kit .
