Fever, cough… virus?

Robert and I have both omicron recently.

10 days later and we are well again.

We both had quite different symptoms and different remedies were needed to help us through it.

Individualizing of symptoms is the key to finding a helpful remedy with any virus or bacterial infection.

I had a sore throat, bursting headache, fever, low appetite and sore joints. Even my eyeballs hurt when I moved them! I used Aconite initially but it didn’t act on my joint issues and the fever. So I took 3 doses of Rhus tox over 24 hours. After two days my fever was gone and my joint pain eased.

Robert had past issues with coughs and colds going to his lungs. He has ended up in hospital with pneumonia twice. So when he got a rattling cough, sitting in his upper chest, we were concerned. He had a fever, needed to rest quietly and was thirsty. Bryonia made the difference for him. After two doses he felt improved……. but two days later the cough returned. Back on Bryonia- 2 doses daily for three days. This time he improved and stayed well.

We are delighted to have natural immunity from the current virus.

But I’m not complacent and know that having a kit of homeopathic remedies makes working with seasonal complaints much easier. Allowing your self time to recover is important too. Light, easy-to-digest foods, lots of fluids and plenty of rest mean you have less chance of relapsing or having long term symptoms. Yes, while you are feeling ill and listless it is good to stay at home and behave like the world has closed!
