RE: pneumonia

I hope she's on antibiotics Teresa? Steam can help loosen secreations .. obviousley be very careful tho with the hot water. I used to fill a bath with very hot water keeping the door & windows shut .. put a chair in the bathroom & sit on it with my child. Not in the bath!!!Ask the Pharmacist about things other to help with the congeston that are suitable for a child. Calpol / Ibrufen are often used for the discomfort & temprature, These things helped when my child had pneumonia. But check with your GP & or pharmacist first.
Hope that helps a little

RE: pneumonia

doing physio over the affected part of the lung (its usually only one lung and then just a section of it) can help shift the stuff....also getting the child to move around when they are feeling more active can really help shift it...

RE: pneumonia

Thank you all for your suggestions!!!

I should have outlined what I have done already.

Of cause the first thing has been a trip to the GP to insist that my child have a chest xray
& to get some antibiotics ASAP.
I have then been administering a remedy soup to expel the phlemn
& using the cupped hand physio.
Aromatherapy and good old fashioned love, but was wondering if I had missed
anything.

I think the general exercise is a great idea and will arrange some light
exercise today & thank you for the healing.

Love & Light

RE: pneumonia

raising the foot of the bed to keep everything moving in the chest can help, also massaging chest area with lavender oil. and gentle reflexology on the appropriate areas of the feet. Burn tea tree oil in a burner in her room. both lavender and tea tree are antiviral and antibacterial. Lots of home-made chicken soup with garlic!
