Don't know if you remember but I posted about my oldest having a nasty cold last week. Well, his fever finally broke after 4 days and two trips to see his ped bc I was worried about bronchitis. He's crazy as ever again.
However, now my 7-month-old is spiking a low-grade fever today. I think he caught what his big bro had. He's all stuffed up and coughing. So in an effort to try natural remedies to help reduce his fever w/o meds I remembered that my grandmother used to put onions in her room whenever she was sick. I didn't know why until I did a search about it and it's to help draw out the fever. Then I also read that I can put some cut up onions in a sock and make him wear it overnight. It also helps to draw out the fever. I really hope it works bc I am so afraid that his fever will spike higher and end up like his big brother all miserable for a few days. I wish I remembered about the onions when my oldest had his fever last week. My husband said that he smells like an Italian hoagie. He kind of does. And I smell like onions now too.
Have you heard of this natural remedy to help reduce fevers? Have you tried it before?
...So the onions probably wouldn't have helped with that.. But next time I'm definitely trying this.
