A much better solution is to use antiviral and antibacterial herbs and supplements to fight infections. So at the first sign of a virus take a Chinese Herbal Yin Chiao (pronounced "chow") formula. There are also children's liquid versions of this formula (Yin Chiao Jr by Health Concerns and Children's Clear and Release by Golden Flower). Black Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) is also an excellent antiviral and safe for children. Echinacea is sometimes helpful to stimulate white blood cell production as well. These are all available at many health food stores or on the Internet.
For any infections take liquid silver, vitamin C (children can take Emergen-C powder, vitamin A (10,000-50,000 IU), and increase your vitamin D to at least 10,000 IU (children can take 4,000-5,000 for infections).
Use homeopathic Belladonna pellets for any type of acute inflammation and infection, whether it's a fever, red sore throat, earache, or skin infection. If colds develop with congestion then switch to Pulsatilla. And for flus with chills, aching muscles, and extreme tiredness take Gelsemium. Homeopathic medicines are always safe for children as well.
