Not familiar so I just read a bit on it. I am so sorry for you guys.

My Nutritional Healing book says to take:

Bromelain plus curcumin, grape seed extract, quercetin, vit C with bioflavonoids.

You might check into it and also ask your doc about it.

Also diluted apple cider vinegar (Bragg's is good) rubbed on the irritation.

Rub on a cut onion as an antioxidant, garlic too. It will sting but that means its working.

Calamine lotion.

Those natural things might help some, but healing from RSF requires prompt treatment with antibiotics. The few people I've known who have had it all recovered but a couple were ill enough t be in the ICU. In those cases it wasn't diagnosed early.

Good luck.

Be sure to take probiotics anytime you take antibiotics.

Thanks for the responses. We opted to start antibiotics. I have probiotics for her as well. We had to leave our pediatrician to get the titer done as he refused and didn't think it necessary so that was upsetting. We should have the results Friday.
