Have you ever visited a Pediatrician? There you might have noticed kids,
who are waiting for their treatment with their mothers. Whenever the doctor
prepares the injections to inject certain chemicals in the child, if the child
sees what is happening, he is sure to create a chaos. Some children cry but
then take the injection, while some cry out so loud that, people around feel
that the child is under danger. To avoid such incidences, the doctor sometimes
prescribes medicines or tablets that can be used as an alternative
medicine for injection.
Many a times, we find medicines ineffective or
costly and want to find an alternative to it. However, this is not as easy as
opting for another brand of chocolate, if you do not like one. You need to
properly note down the ingredients and chemicals in that medicine and then ask
your doctor for another one. If now, you are taking allopathic medicines, then
the next time you can go for herbal or ayurvedic ones.
There are certain tips that should be followed when
you opt for alternative medicines. Here
is a list of some tips:
·
If you are continuing with a drug, then do not stop it
abruptly before you try another one. The alternative one might just reduce the
amount of drug that you are taking or stop it eventually, but do not stop it on
your own until the doctor says to do so.
·
It is important to have a talk with your doctor,
before you take the alternative medicine. The doctor might give you some tips
and suggestions as to when and how much of new medicine to use.
·
Many alternative medicines are such that they are given
to you considering the holistic approach of well being of the whole body. They
do not just consider the symptoms for which you are taking the early medicines.
·
Alternative medicines help the original medicine to
work more efficiently and help the body to maintain its immune system.
·
Alternative medicine avoids surgeries or other
chemicals and they concentrate more on herbs, nutrition, stress reduction and
other gentle treatments.
·
Do not accept your friends or family’s suggestions for
alternative medicine unless they are a qualified practitioner. You may even
find substitute medicine via reference books or medical magazines. A wrong
suggestion might not just be a waste but also can spoil your health.
·
You must feel comfortable with your doctor and his
treatment and then only you will be able to accept his alternative medicine
suggestion comfortably. Sometimes the doctor themselves refers you to some
other doctor for the right suggestion.
·
Most of the practitioners suggest Naturopathy,
Ayurvedic or Herbal medicines, so that you do not face any allergy or side
effect of the alternative treatment. Many a times, it so happens
that the alternative medicine, itself worsens the symptoms through its side
effects.
·
Some naturopathic medicines may worsen your symptoms
but do not worry, as this is a natural and proper way of healing, through which
your body is undergoing.
So, next time if you feel that this is not the right
medicine for you and you should go for an alternative medicine then, follow the
above tips so that you get the best of the health information.
