No evidence 'herbal' self medication is useful. And skinning up is hardly an option for a small child. ???
Reviewing drug safety vs effectiveness is a highly prized skill. I can do generic better than most but I always defer to the subject specialist in the first instance.
Not my field but can do some research if others with more hands-on experience fail to step forward.
I know enough to know that there are much better solutions than there were when I was growing up in the 60s and 70s.
