Jinger Duggar Reveals She’s ‘Anti-Medicine’ While Discussing Daughter Felicity’s Trip to the ER

Jinger Duggar has an unconventional approach to health.

During the Wednesday, October 29, episode of the Jinger and Jeremy Podcast, the former 19 Kids and Counting star and her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, revealed that their eldest daughter, Felicity, had to go to the hospital for an ear infection recently, which sparked a conversation about medicine.

“I’m growing more and more crunchy, but I don’t think I’m imbalanced in it,” Duggar, 31, admitted.

The former TLC star recalled how she realized something was wrong with Felicity, 7, when the child came inside with “excruciating pain” in her ear and wanted to lie down during a wedding the family was hosting at their home.

“I was like, ‘OK, this is time for pain meds,’” Duggar explained. “I had a bottle of kids chewable ibuprofen so I gave her two tablets, which is her dose, and she took that, and I waited.”

“That’s a lot for you because you don’t even like doing medicine,” Vuolo interjected.

The mom of three — who also shares daughter Evangeline, 4, and son Finnegan, 7 months with Vuolo — agreed, confessing, “I don’t like doing medicine. I’m anti-medicine.”

However, Vuolo, who ended up taking his daughter to the ER, made it clear that Duggar’s “not so crunchy” that she’s “against modern medicine.”

“This started because they wanted to give her an antibiotic because she had an ear infection,” he explained.

“They wanted to give it to her right away. And then I was thinking about it and I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t want her to have an antibiotic because those can really just mess up your gut,” Duggar claimed. “I was like, I don’t wanna give her an antibiotic unless it’s absolutely necessary.”
