Hi @usagigallardo015, I'm on medical field. Self medication can do harm than good especially if wrong treatment is used. It can worsen the underlying issues. It's understandable to switch to herbal medication but better you should consult a Doctor for proper assessment and treatment. Hope you can seek medical assistance from your Local Government Unit.
Nice to hear that your son had a best friend and also who is there too, to help if your son is not around.
