Measles is a disease that still causes severe complications and even death in Third World countries. Want to know an effective treatment (besides homeopathy, of course!)? Vitamin A. Yep…nutritional. Learn what to look for (hint: it’s in the mouth) in the early stages of measles, and know what to expect as the illness progresses.
My oldest son, Mark, was known as 'Mark the Bark' because of his many episodes of croup. Thankfully, the first time he got croup, I was visiting my parents. My mom knew exactly what to do. How is that? I had croup as a child...bad enough that I was hospitalized on at least one occasion. I learned how to make 'croup tents' from my mom. So this class will cover pneumonia, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and parainfluenza virus (which causes croup). Who knew they were all related to mumps and measles?
