Homeopathic remedy dosage for infants...

Hi all. Well, I would like to try a homeopathic remedy, like pulsatilla, the next time my 7 month old DD comes down with an ear infection, but I have no idea what the potency/dosage should be , for instance, 30C, 6C, etc.. How many pellets would I use and how many times per day? Does anyone have any more info on this? Also, what is a good kit to get with remedies for acute conditions? It would be really helpful to have this kind of information. I appreciate any advice!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Dissolve 1 pellet dissolved in 120 ml water, and a teaspoon from here is 1 dose.
For your 7 month old, a good starting potency would be 6c.
The dosage is 2-3 doses of one potency. After the doses in about 48 hours:

--If no change then, remedy is incorrect.

--If aggravation, you need to wait.

--If improvement occurs, then too you need to wait. When improvement stops, and if and when the symptoms return (milder), raise potency.

Thanks for that info sameer! You are a big help as always.. I am wondering, is there a good remedy kit to buy that has remedies for common things like colds, ear infections, teething?

I am just curious, would 30 C not be good to use for a 7 month old toddler? I notice that all the remedies in the store are 30 C. I would probably have to order 6 C which is fine if that is what is best... Just wanted to ask your opinion on that. Thanks!

6c is available at health food stores

Hi sameer, I know I posted this awhile back, but since they only have 30C in the health food stores I have been to, would that be ok to use, or would it be too strong for an 8 month old? I appreciate your help as always
