Frequent Ear/Throat Infection and Tonsillitis - Attn. Rishimba
My 2 years old son suffers from a severe ear infection from time to time. Recently (09-Mar-07), he got his fourth ear-infection, since his birth (First one was at the age of 6 months). He had the symptoms of cold and fever all the three occasions. His right ear is normally get infected severely and it gets red inside, but no pus. He looks pale and weepy when he gets fever and he wants to be carried. He always get high fever (maximum up to 39.5 Deg. Celsius) and once he had a febrile convulsion. During the second/third/fourth attacks, he had a sore throat with swollen tonsil as well and his throat looks dark red with a white coating sometimes. All the occasions he was cured by antibiotics. I had recently posted about his fourth ear-infection on 09-Mar-07 and I got a suggestion in this forum to give him Ferrum Phos-6x, Kali Mur-6x, Silicia-6x. But, I do not have these remedy readily available and I will get those in next month only, because homeopathic medicines are not available in this country (Thailand). However, I have most of the homeopathic remedies in 30c potency and some in 200c potency.I have seen some of your prescriptions in this forum suggesting Pulsatilla for ear infection and Calc. Phos. to prevent frequent cold. Please advise me if I can use these remedies for my son. I am furnishing the following information on ear infection for your ready reference which I got from your earlier postings in this forum.
- child's nature is mild and loving or stubborn and hateful.
He is a loving child but he is stubborn and short tempered.
Get offended easily and cry quickly.
- which ear, left, right or both.
Both, but right ear gets infection first and then goes to left side
- pain or not
No pain
- itching or not.
Appears no itching at all.
- discharges or not. colour of discharge, consistency if any.
No discharge
- smell or not, if yes, what kind of smell
No smell
- what makes it better and what makes it worse
He feels better in open air or if he finds his friends around.
He likes to be carried when he is ill.
Other related information
- sweats while sleeping at night
- sleeps at his right side and dose not like to be covered up by a blanket
- he likes sour (lemon/yogurt), spicy food and sweets of all sort
- he suffers from eczema from time to time and has a dry skin
- he frequently suffers from constipation
- He had also suffered from Urinary Tract Infection at 8 months age
- He is up to date with all major immunization/vaccinations.
I want to stop giving him antibiotics in future and I am looking for a constitutional remedy for get rid of his recurring ear infection and Tonsillitis and cure him permanently.
Thanking you advance.
N.B. I have also seen a post in this forum to use Psorinum 1M & Tuberculinum 1M to immunize children or adults for all Tonsil problems. If you know, please give me your opinion. The post can be found at: http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/69933/1

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
the remedies which could help him during ear infections would be CHAMOMILLA 30C every 4 hours till the infections remain.
also, LYCOPODIUM 200C once every week for some weeks will bring in a long term relief.

Thank you very much. Since his ear infection has subsided now after taking antibiotics, I will go for LYCOPODIUM 200C for a few weeks as suggested by you. Will this cover the Throat Infection & Tonsillitis as well? I found that his ear infection always accompanied with Throat Infection & Tonsillitis. He is also susceptible to cold.

Im very sorry to see the case history of this baby.Its my suggesstion to use BARIUM CHLORATUM 6 or 30)give 3 times daily.Take 50ML water and mixed 4pills after well disloved apply 1 teaspoonful as described above.This medicine has a wonderful effect in nose,ear and throat area.Continue this medicine 1 month and report me.Thanks
♡ Dr.Haran ch malaker last decade
if the symptoms match, one remedy will cover everything.
during the next episode, try CHAMOMILLA or BELADONNA in the 30c potency.
right ear infections in children who are iritable and do not keep covers on them with all other ailment tendencies as you have described, should react to LYCOPODIUM in the long run.

Dear Dr. Malaker,
I appreciate your concerns and thank you very much. The medicine you have prescribed (BARIUM CHLORATUM - Baryta Mur) is not readily available with me and it will take some time for me to get it. In the meantime, I will first try the suggestion made by Rishimba and keep you all informed.

Dear Rishimba,
I had tried Beladonna 30 recently when he had ear/throat infection with high fever. However, it did not help him much and I also used paracetamol at the same time to keep his body temperature down, knowing that he has a tendency for febrile convulsion. I have Lycopodium 30 with me at this moment and please let me know if this is fine. Lycopodium 200 will arrive after 2 weeks.
Many Thanks.

Dear Rishimba,
I have just received the Lycopodium 200 and going to start soon according to your suggestion (1 dose per week). I got the Lycopodium in liquid form and please let me know much should I give for one dose.
He was having a runny nose for last few days and I gave him Nat Mur 30. He has recovered from cold, but he is having a wet cough now. I am giving him Antimonium Tart 30 and it seems to be working.
Also he has been suffering from constipation for last 4-5 months and his stool comes out as small balls with great efforts, 3-4 times per day. The consistency of the stool is like a hard dough. While passing stool, he becomes anxious/tense and want to be left alone. Sometimes he cries. I will appreciate if you kindly suggest remedies for his constipation.
Regards

He eats brown rice, cow milk, yogurt, pulses and vegetables. He likes Miso soup (Japanese fermented bean soup) very much. He also takes fish in less quantity.
I have observed the problem (constipation) after a significant change in his food habit - he used to eat fruits like apple, banana, pears and avocado etc., not any more!

Dear Rishimba,
As suggested by you, I gave 2 doses of Nux Vom. 30 to my son in 15 minutes apart at bed time for constipation from May 11 to May 13. I discontinued the remedy on May 14, suspecting aggravation. There was no BM during the day of May 14 and he passed a large-sized stool in the evening with some difficulty. On May 15, no BM at all. Today morning (May 16), he passed stool (one small ball) with great difficulty and he was crying. Stool was quite hard and dry.
Would please suggest at your earliest convenience?

BRYONIA 30C can be given if the stool is large and dry and is constipated.
otherwise, one effective remedy to make the stool soft is CARICA PAPAYA-Q some 5 to 7 in some water twice a day.

♡ rishimba last decade
Dear Rishimba,
As suggested, I have tried BRYONIA 30C without much success. Unfortunately, I do not have CARICA PAPAYA-Q in hand ready and it will take me some time to get. His constipation condition became acute after taking NUX VOMICA 30C and he now passes large-sized stool in the late afternoon/evening after much efforts/sweating (used to be in the morning in small balls 2-3 times) and straining. Sometimes I have to use glycerine suppositories. Please suggest if I need to do antidoting to NUX VOM and if so how?
My son was in mild antibiotics (Bactrim) for about 8 months as preventive measure to counter UTI as he had a UTI attack with right vesico-ureteric reflux grade-I. When he recovered from the reflux completely, the antibiotic was stopped (in Sep. 2006), and I noticed that the problem of constipation surfaced and seems to be chronic after that. I sometimes use the milk of Magnesia very reluctantly. I guess his whole digestive system is out of whack due to prolonged use of antibiotics. I also suspect that the antibiotic made his immune system weak and he gets throat/ear infections quite often.
I will appreciate if kindly suggest.
Thanks a lot,
Manzul

infrequent doses of NUX will gradually bring back his digestive system on track.
if this is an aggravation, it will soon be overcome by the body in a few days.
please include in his diet a lot of fibers, especially boiled papaya.
CARICA PAPAYA-Q is useful in cases of children who suffer from constipation and the stool is hard.

dr. mahfooz,
alumina is helpful when the stool is normal ( not hard ) but it requires a lot of straining to expel it.
i believe this case, the stool is hard and it has to be first made soft.
however, silicea, kali mur and ferrum phos would be benificial.

Dear Rishimba and Dr. Mahfooz,
I am pleased to inform you that my son's BM is getting normal. I checked the Materia Medica and found that Alumina and Bryonia are complementary to each other and can be used back to back for acute constipation. I started giving 3 doses of each a day alternatively since last Tuesday (May 22). Also as suggested by Rishimba, I am giving attention to his diet.
Dr. Mahfooz,
Two months back you had suggested the Kali Mur-6x, Ferrum Phos-6x, Silicia-6x for acute ear-infection of my son. At that time these medicines were not readily available with me and my son suffered from high fever for several days. You can refer the thread: http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/106638
I am happy to note that the same remedies are useful for constipations as well. I will be switching to these after giving Alumina and Bryonia combination for a week. I would like to know whether it is necessary to repeat these remedies once in a while to cure/prevent chronic constipation/ear-infection of my son.
Thanks a lot

Dear manzul,
I feel pleased to give the answer of your questions one by one.
1. I remember I have prescribed these remedies for infection of ear and fever of your son. It is a unique combination in the complaints like this particulars in children.
2. I appreciate your investigation of remedies by consulting the materia regarding Bry and Alum. Awarness of Homoeopathy to the patient is also helpful in day to day diseases.
3. I hope by using Alum +Bry you will need no other medicine for constipation. However, the bio combination which I give you earlier is also very useful for constipation if it is used as per my above form.
4. If you and any other patient is cured by homoeopathy in any disease then no repitation is need thereafter. Please always remember that when a disease is gone you are health and medicine for healthy people is not advisable.
wish you good health

Dear Rishimba,
As suggested by you earlier in this thread, I gave a dose of Lycopodium 200 to my son for a long term relief from his recurrent Ear/Throat infections. Interestingly, I have observed a significant improvement in his constipation condition which he was recovering. Would you please let me know how frequently I should give Lycopodium 200 to him and how long in this case.
The other remedy you had suggested was CARICA PAPAYA-Q,for making the stool soft and it is arriving in the next week. You advised me to give him some 5 to 7 in some water twice a day. Do you mean that I should mix him 5-7 drops with water and give him?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Dr. Rishimba,
I am giving lycopodium 200c to my son for his constipation. I have observed that he gets good BM for next 2 days after taking the remedy, but he develops constipation again on 3rd day. So, I need to give him the remedy 3 times a week instead of 2. Could you please suggest me if this is fine, or should I switch to lower potency (30c) and give more frequent doses (3-4 times a week)?
Please let me know if I need to increase the potency. Immediate available potency of lycopodium with me is LM.
Thanks.

please do not give him lycopodium on a continuous basis. if his constipation is recurring, you need to resort to other natural modes like, fibrous food, lots of water, fruits etc.
what happened to carica papaya which is suggested to you. did u start giving it to him.

I had asked a person for the carica papaya, but unfortunatrly, he got the mother tincture of carca papaya instead of Q potency. Next month I am going to India and I will try to get it there.
By the way, please let me know if I can use the mother tincture of carica papaya.
