The ABC Homeopathy Forum

many madicines given to a 2 yr old Page 2 of 11

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
The BC your doctor suggested is Baryta Carb and not bi-carb.It is one of the well known medicines for tonsils.

He selected one most prominent medicine each,for each of your child's problems,just like allopathic doctors.

What an irresponsible way to prescribe.I still seethe with anger whenever I see your post.

Murthy, because you have asked me things about my training, I feel free to mention a couple of things to you here.

We must always speak in the language of the student. So biochemic is not a word that creates calm in the uninformed. It could be alarming and sound allopathic.

We have no cause to believe tonsils or any other illness except a problem with the throat/nose/ears when we gather these symptoms on this post. We do not want mothers to run out and buy Baryta Carb for imagined tonsilitis. I have seldom used it for small children. More for older.

Then, homeopathy has always been called "remedies." We would like mothers to differentiate between remedies and medicine. "Medicine" may cause some to think of allopathic medicine.

While I do not dissagree with you, it is a matter of clearing the way for mothers and other people to give their symptoms in a concise way without being all confused with the language between what they have been raised with and their choice to try homeopathy for their families.

Hope I was clear for benefit to all. If not, questions? Blessings, Sabra

Thanks Sabra and Murthy, for clearing things for me. I will give him BELLADONNA 30X tonight and report back.
I have been giving him Vitamin B Complex chewable. I will look for Vitamine C and Zinc too.

Murthy as you suggested I need something for him which builds resistance to cold, I will try Nat.mur 6x afterwards thanks.

Magicure,
Currently runny nose is bit less than yesterday.

Nose blocked ONLY at night.

Very mild fever last night, like 99 degree F.

No digestive problems

Water like nasal discharge

I have not noticed any coating on tongue, I am not at home right now.

breathing difficulty only during night due to blocked nose.

a little irritated

No sigficant change in appetite and thirst.

You are saying "Dont give Calc till this acute attack clears up." but how will it clear up? Do you mean Belladonna will do that?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello Kumghi,
If there is Dry blocked nose only at night with fluent watery coryza during day , if irritability is marked and if the child is chilly , Nux is the best choice.
If the baby is aggravated in warm room and is better in open air,the above remedy covers this modality. A thick whitish coating on tongue confirms it.
For Belladonna , you almost always have EXTEREMELY HOT RED face and head in acute cases... your description doesnt say that.
What makes your baby fel better or worse?
 
magicure last decade
He does not like to be covered.
No he does not have HOT RED face and head.
BTW his runny nose has subsided a lot. It is bit thick and less now.
What is Nux? Is it Nux Vomica? What potency? How much?
 
kumghi last decade
May i ask a few questions?

What is bio-chemic?

When treating a child, is it ok to give them the little dissolvable homeopathic remedies (Hyland's)?
:)
Thank you!
Tina

Yes, I was talking about Nux Vomica. But it helps fluent watery coryza (during the day) and stuffed up nose at night. If your child hates to be covered, that goes against Nux.
If the picture has changed ( so rapidly) , may be his body is taking care of the cold on its own !!!
Thats a good sign...
If no much distress , I would prefer to wait and watch at this point , without any medicine.
If the symptoms aggravate or worsen , a remedy should definitely be given.
Moreover , the Tendency to catch colds needs to be taken care of.
 
magicure last decade
Thnaks magicure. I will wait then. Should I continue giving Calc Carb though?
 
kumghi last decade
No , I wont advice to give Calcarea till he improves ( Calcarea can help to cure the TENDENCY if that is the correct constitutional remedy of your son, and if it is , then it should not be given in an acute episode )
If complaints change / aggravate, inform immediately.
 
magicure last decade
Whew, just reread the whole thing. Belladonna is a sicker child with fever and wants to be covered up even if hot.

CARBO VEG is good for less sick child that prefers to kick off covers and likes to be fanned.

Well we have hit a lot of remedies that seem good.

Follow your instincts and choose for your child as you are his healer. Sabra
 
sabra last decade
Tenee this is for you.

Bio chemic is an off shoot of homeopathy,where there are twelve tissue salts,which are supposed to cure most of the common ailments.

However,now a days,they are commonly used as some sort of homeopathic vitamins,if I may say so,along with the homeopathic medicine.

Your second question regarding treating a child.

Depends on the age of the patient.If she is being breastfed,some recommend the mother to take the indicated remedy.

Otherwise,you can dissolve two pellts in about two to three tablespoons of water,and give it to the child.

Never give dry pellets to small childern,as there is a possibility of their entering the lungs,and causing complications.

Now you are more confused.Right??

Since your child is getting improved now,don't give any further medicines.

Come back,if he slips back.

Any way,keep posting.

Sabra

Some mothers don't know anything about homeopathy,and it is difficult for them to follow their instincts,as they don't have any.

As far as possible,I prefer to indicate the precise course of action,rather than telling them a couple of medicines,and leaving it to them to choose.

All may not be capable of doing it.

Regards

Murthy

Murthy, another woman knows what I mean by instincts. They do not need to know homeopathy.

Try not to reprimand me in this instincts remark. S.
 
sabra last decade
Sabra

If it sounded like reprimanding I am really sorry.I respect and try to learn from all the prescribers including you.

Yes,I may not understand what is a mother's instinct.I promise you I won't rise this issue again.

Murthy
 
bandarbabu2000 last decade
What is the current state of your son ? Please update.
 
magicure last decade
Thank you everyone.

His latest status:
1. Blocked nose
2. Nosey none or 1 or 2 times (it seems more like everything is inside, not coming out)
3. In the night at around 11 he started coughing and vomited what he had for dinner. After that he slept nicely, still nose was blocked tho. He is not coughing when he is awake.

Sabra my instinct says not to give anything right now.

Sabra, Magicure, Murthy, Pankaj, John I am sure you will find a right remedy for him which will take care of tendency to catch colds easily.

I feel very happy to find this forum and know about homeopathy as I used to depend on Allopathy before and was never satisfied with it. You guys are doing great job.

11-26-04 update --calc carb 200 given 4 pills once a morning...
11-28-04 update--confirmed have stopped repetition of calc carb--and cold like symptoms have ocured

the data above concerning return of cold or cold like symptomology is possible response/effect to calc carb---if cold as typical then and symptoms not too severe or intense then allow its course of action---but if too intense in truth--then nux-v 200c single dose will help settle -(only if truly is respopnse to calc-c)....but will also stall any good that calc-c would do....the severity is the key----allow no medicines if not too severe..

Hi,
If the discharge is not fluent , and is elastic stringy or difficult to blow, and no more watery , but has changed its colour to yellowish- whitish , then Kali bi can take care of the complaints.
Is the child suffering a lot?
If not , do not give any remedy.
If Calc has started acting, then the child should not catch cold immediately.
But that can be assessed later , once this acute episode is dealt with.
Regards...
 
magicure last decade
He is not suffering a lot. It looks mild. He is very active too. Yeah that is why I said my instint says not to give any remedy for now. I will keep your suggestion in mind if there any severity occurs.
If he gets fine without remedy what next?
 
kumghi last decade
if fine ,then no other remedies--allow natural vitality work to establish balance using only dietary restrictions and supplementations..---symptoms will dictate.remedy choice -as to when needed.


child is start daily use of essential fatty acids (udo's choice oil blend)

child is to avoid (for now) --eggs;sweets (white sugar products;artificial sweeteners);milk;smoked foods;all acidic foods and drinks (coffee;tea;alcohol based products;fruits and juices;vinegar;saurkraut;all carbonated soft drinks;..etc)

keep us closely informed...

Murthy,
Thank you for the info. There is so much to learn on homeopathy. I am thankful for all of you that are so faithful and helpful in this forum.

John,
It is hard to avoid milk as that is the only drink he drinks beside water. Why do you think egg too should be avoided?

Magicure,
How will I know if Calcarea is the correct constitutional remedy of my son?
And if it is when and how much should I give him?
