HFMD or mouth sores

It was, during the HFMD outbreak, when I 1st woke up in the morning and later found out many white, pus-like spots inside my daughter's mouth. Not one or two, but several spots inside her cheeks and even on her tonsils. Shocked and clueless upon findings I later referred with my Homeopathy doctor.

There a remedy called Borax (Borate of Sodium) . It cleared almost 98% of the spot with one dose, within 24hrs. Then, they left another 2% of much more bigger and crucial, more pus spots. A 2nd dose of Borax the very next day cleared all those unwanted sores completely. Thankfully, it didn't reoccur again. I just can't bear even a day to see my daughter crying, eating and drinking with much difficulties with a mouth already full of sores.

I'm not very sure myself on what that may have triggered the sores. My child doesn't mix with any child affected. I'm with her most of the time. Probably it has something to do with her habit of putting almost anything within her reach into her mouth. She might have grasp her walking shoes and sucked on it when I wasn't watching. Dirt, bad bacterias from her shoes may be the cause. After all, CLEANLINESS is the key to a good health..

Heat, Milk Rash and Red Allergy Spots on Face

Both my kids experienced the same situation. I bring them out for a brisk walk, and later returning home and finding some red, allergy-like spots on their faces. For the heat rashes and outdoor allergy-like spots (as I call it), I only treat it by bathing them with Lactacyd Liquid, right after returning home. A face wash mild enough for babies, that was recommended by my Pediatrician. It could be the normal everyday bathing routine too.

Milk rash is common in nursing babies. It could occur anywhere on the face or neck. My 1st child had lots of milk rashes, on and off. A few sprinkles of  Cuticura all purpose talcum powder lessen the milk rashes.

My 2nd child has a fairer complexion compared to his sister. It makes him much prone towards any kind of rashes especially on his face. His rashes are even much more stubborn and difficult to treat.


I accidentally found natural cure for his extra sensitive skin. I love to take fruit juices from blended tomato, cucumber, carrot and apple together. Instead of throwing away the husks, I puree it and feed my son. It makes his skin much smoother and less rashes.. =)

Nappy Rash

My 1st child skin is quite tough. No serious redness or prolonged nappy rashes during her babyhood.Same goes with my 2nd child. But 1 good remedy I'm using till now is sea cucumber oil (gamat). Just a small little drop will do. Pureen nappy rash cream does the trick too. But bear in mind to be alert on how sensitive your baby's skin is 1st. Some babies can't even stand the mildest baby products on their skin. These babies, of course needs special recommendation from their pediatrician.

Above all, make sure the bottom are is clean and dry at all time, which includes getting the right and suitable diapers for your baby. Clean her poops immediately if possible. My mama used to tell me that all babies are clean they love to be cleaned. =)
