Put 8 cups of water in a pot, best if it’s stainless not aluminum, add 2 heaping tablespoons each of these common dried herbs- oregano, thyme, basil, rosemary, sage. If you don’t have all of these it’s ok. Stir herbs in then Put a lid on and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes. Strain and add honey if your sons over 10 years old or can use maple syrup to taste. Try to drink a cup every 2 hours. Also take the pot off the stove and set on a hot pad - get a towel big enough to cover your sons head and shoulders. Have him cover himself and sit over the pot and breath in the herbs. He will get steamed and hot so uncover as needed. Do a few times daily the steaming for the lungs and drinking it for immune support. If he can drink the entire pot in 12 hours he will feel at least 50% better the next day. Do a second day to clear everything up.

Hello. Steroids are never used in Homeopathic medicines, and the ingredients are hard to explain. A substance such as a plant is taken and soaked in alcohol or water for weeks then it is diluted out over many times so by the time is is done there is no piece of that plant left in the water or alcohol. Except if you looked at the water molecules originally it appears as it should but once it has had a plant soaked in it over time that molecule changes. That liquid is then dropped onto a tiny pill which is what you take to shift you energetically. So it is best to ask a homeopathically trained person to assist you in picking a remedy.
