Chilbalins
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hello everyone out there with chillblains.
My son got chillblains on fingers and toes when he was about 4 years old. We cured him with homeopathy, but now everything came back, but not so much on his fingers.
He is sweating very much on his feet.
Homeopathy dosen´t seem to work anymore.
I read that someone used Nifedipine?
Someone else with good results from that, or maybe some other medications?
From a desperate mom. Gry

I think you are on the wrong forum here. We are mostly grannies and granddads with a form of rheumatism. Personally I seriously doubt that homeopathy "cured" chilblains any more than beating them with holly did - which was the preferred option when I was a child! They do usually clear up on their own.
Nifedipine is a prescription drug and it can have some nasty side effects - patients with Reynauds disease used to say it was worse than the illness! It isn't a drug I would like to see my child taking unless they were seriously ill but anyway a study found it probably doesn't help:

If the simple approaches described here

don't help you need to speak to your doctor.
