Belladona and fever
Hi,My 14 month old has been having fever for the last 4 days high fever that reaches 40C and red throath, the doctor prescribed antibiotics for the throath and for the fever I have been giving him paracetamol. Since he already drank a whole bottle of paracetamol and cries whenever I try to give him paracetamol, a called my homeopathic practicioner and she told me that instead of paracetamol I can give him belladone for the fever. SO six hours have pased since the last dose of paracetamol and his fever was 38.3 so I gave him belladona 30 3 drops in little water. I waited for 45 min the fever went up 38.7, i gave him another dose waited another 45 min and the fever again went up to 39. I didn't gave another dose and after 3 hours from the first dose because the fever was still going up i had to give him paracetamol. My question is why belladona didn't lower his fever?

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
For Belladonna to act, the symptoms have to match and the potency and dose has to be right.
I think you are overdosing with Bell. Keep your homeopath posted and ask her all questions.

The symptoms did match and my practicioner told i can give up to three doses every half hour, also the book i have from dr andrew locke for high fever says to take belladona 30 every hour up to ten doses, why do you think i am overdosing?

i dont know why it(belladona) is not working i also dont know the symptoms,the alternative medicine which is safe is ferrumphos12x+kalimur 6x+magphos 6x this will surely help the fever down

If the cause of fever is still there, fever won't reduce.

Yes, the symptoms DON'T match, because otherwise Belladonna would have cured. Since it didn't cure, it is not homoeopathic to your child's case.
There are lots of 'fever' remedies - thousands of them actually. The right one needs to be found.
