Do you consider that using alternative medicine for kids is taking a risk with their health, or are you happy to try that first? When do you think that it is inappropriate to try it first?

I think for me it would vary with the age of the child, just so I would feel better knowing its something that would not make me worry more. Which I tend to do a good bit of on my own. Maybe over the age of five?

There are many types of alternative medicine. If you are speaking in terms of natural home remedies, I always try these first unless they involve a high fever that will not break.

I'm not one for medicating my kids a great deal, but I also don't take many chances with them. I don't medicate fevers, but anything I'm unsure about I will take to a doctor for an opinion.

I usually try home remedies first, mostly things that I have inherited form my mom and older caregivers. Anything that looks serious I check the doctor very early.

I am all for natural home remedies but yes depending on the child's age would factor in if I would try anything else that say an adult would have no issues with.
