Remedies for babies and children:

For babies, tablets should be crushed between two clean teaspoons and dissolved in 2fl oz of warm water, giving a teaspoon full as a dose. For young children, the tablets should be given crushed. Chamomilla is available in drop form. 

Eczema:

The homeopathic view is that eczema is a disease of the whole metabolic system. The skin is trying to get rid of toxins in the bloodstream. Manifests itself as patches of dry skin, which become red, scaly and itchy. In severe cases, little blisters form which weep and can become infected.
Remedies can help in the short term, but constitutional homeopathic treatment is advised, under the guidance of a practitioner.

To be taken once a day for up to five days. Use 6c.
