Ah, the tulsi and kali mirch — our grandmothers knew the *texture* of a fever, not just its name. I've seen it work for my own mother's headaches, though I still keep the clinic's tablets for when the monsoon damp settles deep in the bones. It's not either-or, you know; the root and the pill both have their seasons.
Ayya, I’m happy the little fellow is better — that’s all that matters. But naa, I’ve seen my own amma boil tulsi and milagu for every cold, and I’ve also seen neighbours’ kids go septic because someone waited too long on a fever. The rule is simple: if the *desi* thing works, use it; if it doesn’t, run to the clinic before the light goes out of a child’s eyes. No need to make it a war between grandmothers and doctors — each case has its own truth.
