Worried about my 7 year old
HI, I am very concerned about my 7 year old daughter. We live in the tropical rain forest of Costa Rica. We are very remote, about 1 1/2 hours from a full service hospital. She has a nasty cough. I normally stock plenty of hoemopathic tablets for many ailments and during this recent illness I have realize that I am out of all of my cold remedies. I found a homeopathic night time cough and bronchial syrup made by Boericke & Tafel. I purchased it 6 years ago before moving from the states to Central America and yes, it is still in my medicine cabinet. Two problems, It is not a children's cough syrup and I imagine it MUST have expired by now. It is 9.8% alcohol and preserved with sodium benzoate. She was coughing so much and I felt so desperate that I dug into my intuition and decided to give her 1/2 the dose for a 12 year old. I am concerned about expiration of the actual syrup the homeopathic are suspended in. I pray there are no harmful bacteria in it. If anyone can put my mind at ease or just confirm that I am an over worried Mama that did the wrong thing. Her cough has stopped though...and she is sleeping soundly.Thank you!
