SIL baby Ds has had a severe reaction to wheat,eggs,nuts and possible dairy and has ended up in hospital with breathing difficulties. Sil has been difficult with Dr's re treatment which is elimination diet [both Mum and baby as bf] antihistamines and calpol,milton baths and steroid cream and water based cream after the breathing problems the baby has come out in an excema [sp/] rash
Mum wants to go down natural route ie herbs etc and wants to use nettle tea as a natural antihistamine or find another, We are very worried, they live 1.5 hrs from hospital if she stops treatment and the worst happens.
Baby is 8 months old I like using homeopathy but in this case it seems dangerous, any advice would be appreciated before family go running to SS to report SIL. I honestly believe she cannot see the seriousness of this, her baby was perfect and in less the 7 days has become a sick and rash covered baby and she is seeing it as an attack as her as a parent.But we get on and if I had facts she may listen to me if it is not just my opinion
TIA
