In today’s episode, Dr. Temple and I dive deep into common childhood illnesses that seem to spike during the winter months. Dr. Temple provides invaluable insights and practical tips on how to manage and prevent these ailments, emphasizing the importance of understanding the body's natural defense mechanisms. Dr. Temple explains that fevers are the body's natural response to fighting off infections by halting the replication of viruses and boosting antibody production. She advises against the immediate use of fever-reducing medications, as they can prolong the illness. She teaches us that sore throats in children are viral and can be effectively treated with home remedies like honey, saltwater gargles, and staying hydrated. We discussed the viral nature of most coughs and the effectiveness of honey vs. over-the-counter cough syrups. Dr. Temple also recommends Epsom salt baths and staying well-hydrated. You’ll also learn about ear infections. Ear infections are often caused by congestion leading to fluid buildup in the middle ear. Dr. Temple shares alternative treatments to antibiotics, such as craniosacral therapy, chiropractic adjustments, and the use of Sinex nasal spray for a short duration. Lastly, to keep children healthy during the winter, Dr. Temple stressed the importance of reducing processed foods, limiting sugar intake, and eliminating dairy when children are congested.
