This is what having a homeopathic pediatrician looks like.



We are using the tea bags as warm compresses. Apparently the tannins are good for treating viral conjunctivitis.



Looks a lot like being at the spa. Only with more gook.

I can't believe you got her to cooperate with that treatment. At that age, and now at 10, my little girl would have run the other way screaming. And if she was too sick to run and scream she would have buried herself in blankets, towels, bed, and cried for anyone who did not happen to be there at the time. I am in awe! Hope she gets well soon.

Well, at least if this doesn't work, she'll be awfully tasty. No, I can't believe I just said that. Lock ME AWAY!!

I am so amazed! She's not wriggling about or crying. What a little trooper!

Conjunctivitis is the worst! I get it every so many years (usually after a medical mission trip) and am miserable. Guess who's even more miserable? My poor husband. He gets to hear me complain.

this was treatment #1. it was a novelty. It was almost fun. the water was luke warm. treatment #2 was met with much resistance, threats and bribes. we got 'er done though. treatment #'s 3, 4 & 5 were much more like #2. I don't have pictures of those though. You can understand why...

Perhaps if you are still met with resistance, you can place the tea bags under a pair of goggles. Because that look would obviously improve things. Heheh.

Good luck on continued treatments!
