Can there be after affects after taking arsenicum album?
My daughter had a fever with pains in her legs and we gave her arsenicum album 30C-- 2 doses and they went away.2 days later she still has low grade fever 100F and is complaining of headaches??
Does she need an anecdote???
I am concerned.

There is no need to think about any antidote. Please give her three doses of arsenic alb 30c on one day and see whether she gets cured completely.

I was only able to get 2 doses in today, she perked up and wanted to eat and drink
I'll see how she is tomorrow
Fever went up 101 after first dose today,
I'll check it again tomorrow
I am hoping it breaks overnight.

Under acute conditions remedy may be given daily four times a day for 3-4 days. Two doses for one day won't work in such conditions. You may give her Ars Alb and you may also give the details. Ars Alb won't do any harm.

Kadwa,
I am concerned, I gave one pellet of each to her
her face became flushed and she claimed she was getting warm and had a bit of headache on the back of head.
She no longer has the mucus cough.
Should this happen and should I continue with the dosages?
Is there still a virus in her body that she is fighting??
I guess I wasn't prepared for other symptoms to come up.
Please explain and advise
