Match one of the pictures below with your child's symptoms. The Complete Homeopathy Handbook by Miranda Castro if these descriptions don't match your child's collection of symptoms. Aconite, Belladonna, Chamomilla and Pulsatilla are my favourite for painful, sudden earaches in children. Doesn't want to be touched or covered. Child is weepy, restless and thirstless.
Pains are severe, throbbing and worse for warmth.
The throat is bright red and glands are swollen. Flushed, thirstless and delirious with a burning, dry fever. Child is angry when unwell and may throw tantrums. Throbbing earache with noises in the ear. Child is sweaty, especially the head and back of the neck, especially at night.
