| Nov 6, 2014 at 20:52 | comment | added | deworde | @AE Sure, but I think if you go for the first, it's off-topic for this site, it's really a medical question not a parenting question. The second would be probably on topic. | |
| Nov 6, 2014 at 9:56 | comment | added | A E | So I guess I'm asking "Does anyone know of well-researched evidence-based information about painless and harmless remedies for MC, even if they are less effective than the prescription-medication alternative?" - and also asking for parents' experiences of just leaving it untreated. | |
| Nov 6, 2014 at 9:49 | comment | added | A E | Also, I'm not looking for a recommendation of "Granny's Famous Boiled Gin and Goatweed Treatment" (fun though that sounds - can the parent drink it?), and definitely not homeopathy. Ideal answer would be a link to a study showing that painless-and-harmless-treatment-A has some (perhaps limited) merit in treatment of the condition. | |
| Nov 6, 2014 at 9:45 | comment | added | A E | "Latin Name: Suggests either you've already seen a doctor, or you've self-diagnosed via the internet" - yeah, I thought that my use of the latin name might be scaring people off. The reason I'm using the latin name is that I don't know any other name for this particular condition. Round here we don't have a vernacular name for it (that I know of). If you follow the link that I originally put in the question, you'll see that it is the same link as the NHS link that you're suggesting. To me this question is the equivalent of "how best to sooth chicken pox?" - not a medical second opinion. | |
