Your naturopath probably can offer you some ideas. Homeopathic medicine, for instance, addresses both the illness and the emotional/behavioral issues that accompany it. Check with the homeopath or naturopath about the advisability o taking the alternative medicine along with the child's regular antibiotic or other medication. Bach Flowers can certainly be helpful for the mood issues that accompany illness and these don't interact with medicines. Check with a Bach Flower practitioner if your naturopath cannot make a treatment bottle, or check on line at www.bachflower.com. A reflexologist can also help improve mood and health in a natural, harmless way. These are only some of the suggestions - there are so many different healing modalities. They are worth investigating, because your son is going to be living with you for a long time and you know what he's like when he gets sick!   Sarah Chana
