You may go ahead with Ars. It looks better in the light of additional information provided. This is my opinion. Srisri may differ.

Thanks Dr.Kadwa. Ars.Alb 200 is started to day. Kali Mur and Silicea will be started from tomorrow. Kindly confirm whether both the tissue salts are to be taken together or a time gap is to be maintained between them .
ranjandr last decade
The tissue salts can be taken together.
♡ kadwa last decade
After arsenic alb 200 Kali Mur 6x and Silicea 6x are in progress . Yes, the child is improving day by day .The restlessness and anguish behavior is slowly changing . Appetite is also increasing . Stool is semi-solid (twice in a day). But while eating he complains of pain in stomach may be around navel. Habit of splitting the sputum is a new symptom now. Is it due to worm ?
This is for your further advice
This is for your further advice

As you have said earlier that the child is taking allopathic medication for deworming so this can be on account of worms. Ars is a very deep acting remedy and it is also indicated for worms. In my opinion you should continue with the tissue salts until there is worsening of symptoms. If symptoms worsen you should repeat Ars Alb 200 in the earlier manner. If Ars fails to work in future you should give him Cina 200 in the same way. But as the child has given positive response, it won't be advisable to change the remedy now. So please do as advised.
♡ kadwa last decade
Ok. I will continue only with the tissue salts for 7 days as per your advise .He had taken a course of allopathic medicine for deworming two monts back . I shall give you the feed back after completion of 7 days course .

Just go through the website.
http://www.tuberose.com/Thyroid.html
'The thyroid gland is the principle user of iodine in the body. Two-thirds of the body's store of iodine is located in the thyroid gland. In a normal person, dietary iodine is absorbed from the gut into the blood and then, in the thyroid, it is removed from the blood, 'trapped' in the gland, and incorporated there into compounds, which in turn are assembled into thyroid hormone secretions. The average iodine intake of a normal adult on an ordinary diet in a non-goiter region is about 0.03 milligrams, a day. This tiny amount is only about one-seventh of what is needed for daily thyroid hormone production, but the body practices great economy and re-uses much of its iodine store repeatedly in producing hormone secretions. In goiter regions, not even the 0.03 milligram per day is available in the food and water'.
'Zinc, vitamin E and vitamin A function together in many body processes including the manufacture of thyroid hormone. In addition to iodine, a deficiency of any of these nutrients would result in lower levels of active thyroid hormone being produced. Low zinc levels are common in the elderly, as is hypothyroidism. The B vitamins riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), and pydidoxine (B6), and vitamin C are also necessary for normal thyroid hormone manufacture. The trace minerals zinc, copper, and selenium are the required cofactors for iodothyroinine iodinase, the enzyme which converts T4 to the far more active T3. There are several different forms of this enzyme, each requiring a different trace mineral. Supplementation with zinc (the second most common mineral deficiency) has been shown to re-establish normal thyroid function in hypothyroid patients who were zinc-deficient, even though they had normal serum T4 levels. Dental mercury removal and heavy metal detoxification will restore many vitamin, mineral and trace
elements to normal levels as well'.

The child could not sleep at all yesterday night due to continuous cough . Though there were no mucous during coughing but he complains of throat pain.
Ars Alb 200 is given . The tissue salts are going as per schedule.
Kindly suggest some remedy to stop the continuous cough at night so that both the child and his mother can sleep well .
Do you recommend to give Justicia Q 3-4 times a day for his excessive cough at night.

We should allow this treatment plan to work. Things will be clear only after few days. If you are not uncomfortable with recommending ayurvedic meds, you may ask them to give 1/2 sitopaladi choorna with honey. This may be given as and when required at night or day.

Dr Kadwa,
I reproduce the patient father words below for reference '4. At present he is suffering from cough but no mucus is coming out. It seems that his chest is full of mucus'
In this situation Ipecac 30 and Bryonia 30 may be given to release the mucus. Each remedy may be repeaded after one hour. If both fail then Antum Tart 30 will be the next remedy.(Patient follow the instruction of the Dr Kadwa)
Dr Riaz

Dear Dr. Riaz
The main problem in relying on Bry and Ant Crud is that if the causative factor is worms these remedies won't do anything. Ars can take care of that and it has also worked in the past. Let us see how it performs now.

Dr Kadwa want to share my views.I thank the main problem to the patient is mucus which is not come out and stick and infected the lungs and when the mucus will not release the continous cough will not stop.The Ipecac will thinner the mucus and Bry will help to release the mucus. Both the remedies have the characteristic to release the mucus and stop the continous cough. if both fail then use Ant Tart 30 not Ant crud as u mentioned in the last post. if the mucus colour yellew and thicker/hard then we can use kali bi 30 and Puls 30. If these all medicine fail then Tuberculinum 1M may be used to clear the case and it work very will. The pateint may also be asked to mention their family history.

Thanks for sharing your views. We will consider them when the case comes for review. Your comments are welcome.

I have gone through the views of Dr, Riaz. Here is the present update of the patient to arrive the final decision.
1.During day time the body temp remains 97.6 deg F and the cough is dry and occasional. He remains cheerful during day time and plays with others.
2.His uneasiness and coughing starts after sunset and increases at bed time with raise in body temp to 99.8 deg F.It seems that the cough becomes slightly thinner( as per sound ) but not coming out .
3. There was also continuous cough in the last night . The cough could not be stopped even with sipping of warm water and raising the head.He could not sleep from 12- 4 at night . He leaves the bed at 9am
4. The child becomes thinner day by time . His appetite is also decreasing .
it seems that the child suffers from a low grade fever with cough inside his chest and throat . As a first hand informer of the case, I agree with the views of both Dr kadwa and Dr Riaz. But as the Ars Alb and tissue salts could not give immediate relief to the child at night, can I try Ipecac 30 and Bryonia 30 one hour interval to see the affect and to give some relief at night .
One dose of Sitopaladi choorna
is given today . Can it be given along with homeo remedy ?

Please don't give ipecac and bryonia. Please give only sitopaladi choorna with honey and tissue salts. It is safe and can be given as often as needed. Let this plan work for 3 days and then take a review.
♡ kadwa last decade
There should be a gap of 15 minutes between homeo remedies or tissue salts and anything else including choorna.
