I would like some help please

what kind of painkiller should you give a five month old child for a flu or cold orv maybe fever

I used to be in pharmacy, but now I do everything naturally that I can to avoid pharmaceuticals for myself and for my family. I would urge you to make a decision right now not to put any more unnatural drugs into your baby's body. Skip the pharmaceuticals altogether and try some natural remedies. They are safer and more gentle than drugs. Pain killers only stop the nerve sensors that let the body know there is a problem. When you treat the symptom, the problem is still there. If you treat the condition, you will eliminate the cause of the problem and in essence, you will eliminate the symptom.

If you will spend the small amount of money on these items, your investment in your child's health will benefit him for the rest of his life. Treating your own child naturally will save you money in the long run on doctor bills and prescription/over-the-counter medications. Here are some natural remedies for your baby when he/she is ill.

SWEAT BATHs help the body to rid itself of toxins that cause illness. Since you do not want to put the baby in really hot water, use a warm bath and using a wash cloth, gently wash his body down with some natural soap (like Dr. Bonner's Peppermint soap) to make certain the pores are open. You can add a small amount of lavender oil or tea tree oil to the bath to stimulate the circulation and draw the blood to the extremities.
