Homeopathy to boost childs immune system
This past month has been a terrible one health wise for my 3 kids.My 6 year old daughter started out with a fever and cough and despite trying to get over it with homeopathy,she ended up with bronchopneumonia and was given antibiotics for 10 days. After the course was over she had a urinary tract infection. Homeopathy was given, but unfortunetely it didn't improve her symptoms and the dr insisted on antibiotics. The thought of another week or so of antibiotics made me ill, but I wasn't willing on risking it. With both rounds of antibiotics she complained of nausea, body pain, and overall was moody and complained a lot.
A few days later, my 3 year old daughter also had a fever. The dr said she had an inflammed throat. Her tonsils were red, like they had little red veins all over. After giving her Belladona her fever stopped and she was all over better. Her tonsils remained red but the dr said she'll recover on her own in time. It's over a week later and last night she woke up with a high fever , her whole body red and burning. I gave her belladona but her sleep was so restless and she was talking and crying. Her fever went up and down. She even vomited a tiny bit of her lunch (12 hours later). She ate a little today and woke up cheerful. I can see her throat inflamed.
Last week my son , 11 years old, started coughing really bad and had a low grade fever. I feared he may have contracted bronchopneumonia but all his symptoms were caused by a very red throat. His cough was loud and hard. His fever (low grade at most times) went on for a week. He too was given a 3 day course of antibiotics, which helped him recover quickly.
I'm in a difficult position when I am told to give my kids antibiotics. I want what's best for them and am sometimes afraid to risk their health, especially when they can't convey their exact symptoms. It's been terrible for my whole town- so many illnessess and pneumonia has taken an epidemic turn.
As a household we do not get sick that often and antibiotics are rarely used, but this has been something else altogether. I feel helpless in a way and would really appreciate it if someone could advise me on what to give them to strengthen their immune system.
Thanks

Please write your answers under the questions or in front of them, I cant understand the way you have written.
Belladonna was the right remedy, should be given in 200c.
Once out of fever, let me know.

Please give her Bell 200c, one dose and report back.
Can you see her tonsils, if yes, how are they.
This is acute remedy & treatment. Once she is out of fever I will need detailed symptoms to treat her constitutionally. There is another questionnaire for that.
