Respiratory Problem - 15months infant - Please Help

Hello Dr,

I have a daughter who is 15 months now. We live in the UK and she was born here itself. Birthdate: 09 December 2010.

General Personality: She is a very fun loving, very intelligent, early walker, and very fast learner compared to other children of her age group. She generally has been getting a lot of compliments of her brightness and activeness wherever she goes. She gets friendly very fast and loves to meet new people and play. Always looked for opportunity to go out of home and enjoy herself and loves to explore. Not a fussy child, very loving, caring and helpful. No tears. Very playful and laughs a lot!

Problem:
1.She started teething her 1st molar on 13th Of March 2012.
2. From 16th onwards she started getting a little runny nose and was passing semi-solid stools.
3. 21st - she developed diarhhoea, watery and smelly.
4. We discontinued milk and any food from 12pm on 21st to 8pm on the same day. Just kept her on water and electrolyte. She was happy and running after 1st drinking electrolyte.
5. Around 4pm, gave her Cina 30, on recommendation by a homeopath we had consulted and she slept after that.
6. 6.30pm onwards has been hungry and little restless , rejected water many times, just wanted food.
7. Gave her dilute yogurt rice at 7.30pm and she had a few spoons of that and went to sleep comfortably through the night. No Milk.
8. Woke up next morning (22nd March 2012) at 6.00am as was hungry, gave her water and then around 7.30-8.00am gave her dilute yogurt with rice again. Kept her on yogurt rice all through the day, until next morning.
9. On 23rd March 2012 - gave her dilute porridge with 1 teaspoon honey mixed in it. Gave her, dilute lentil soup with rice (dal chawal in hindi). Dinner: Gave her boiled carrot, sweet potato puree and a fruit yogurt pot.
10. On 24th, Breakfast: Porridge with raisins and little honey. Lunch: Lentils with rice. Dinner: Chickpeas mashed with boiled rice and tomato.
11. Her diet since then has normalised, and now she has even cut her first molar (left side top). Although, I can feel there is another molar coming on the right side top.
12. Except for the first 2 days after diarrhoea, she has been having constipation. Although, she would like to release her bowels and she tries, she seems to me she is constipated. She clears her bowels everyday, but struggles and definitely the consistency of stools is one of constipation.
13. Since, 3 days - she has been having below:
wakes up at around 3.45, with blocked nose (although not fully blocked). I can see she struggles to sleep. Has water, then asks for milk around 4.30 and sleeps comfortably after drinking milk.
Again, gets disturbed around 5.30-6.00am with slightly blocked nose. Comes close to me and lies down and the blocked nose surprisingly goes and she sleeps peacefully till 8.00-8.15am. She coughs in between in sleep and I can clearly feel there is phlegm. Its is a cough with phlegm.
8.15am - 9.00: Breakfast (Usually, Porridge with raisins and prunes or dates) and some fresh fruit. She loves fresh fruits, any fruit. During the food, has a few sneezes. She sneezes and coughs a little after waking up from sleep as well.
9.15: Clears bowels and then bath.
9.30-9.45: After bath and oil massage, she wants milk again and has 9oz milk.
10.00am - I send her out to play groups or a walk in the park. She finds it very relieving then. Is very comfortable outdoors. No nasal discharge or sneezing. Occasional cough exists. Sleeps peacefully, in fresh air till 11.30/ 12.30.
12.30pm - Lunch (Usually - Pasta/ Lentil with rice and yogurt, etc). From 12.30 onwards till about 4.00/5.00pm has very runny nose. No yellow mucous, just runny nose. If we go out in fresh air it is definitely better and not as runny, however, it is a little runny. No cough or may be very rarely.
3pm - Milk.
4pm - Fresh fruit/ Avocado/ Toast.
6pm - Dinner (Boiled vegetables with rice/ cous cous / Quinoa).
8.30 - Milk and sleep.

Around 6.00pm - Sneezing comes back again and feels like she would fall asleep eating her food. Sometimes, I have to keep her awake to eat.
However, does not sleep, keeps herself awake and does not talk or react much either.
Around 7.00pm - runny nose reduces by more than 80% of how it is during the day.
8.30/ 9pm - sleeps after 9oz warm milk and does not wake up again until 4.00am.

I had a doubt it could be the flowers and hence removed the flowers at home. However, it is quite confusing as she is fine in fresh air and outdoors.

* She is definitely not as active as she used to be before physically. Mentally, is still the same but can clearly see some of her confidence and attitude towards things have been affected. Is definitely more clingy to me, and whenever cough or sneeze, looks at me for help. Eyes are a little watery throughout the day. Was never crying before, but cries often these days.
No stomach pain as she eats comfortably. She also sneezes with cooking smells. She also use to eat on her own before she has her diarrhoea, but now does not insist on it like before, just eat anything i feed her.

I would be very grateful if you could suggest something for her, as these are her growing days.

Current climate in UK: Moving from Spring to summer.

Hello Tamhankar

She seems to have hay fever. As her eyes are watering when we go out, even if for a walk and gets worse and continuously sneezes if we go close to flowers. Other than that, has a chesty cough too at other times.

I have just checked today and it seems like she has already got her teeth.

Many Thanks

Hello Dr,

She is definitely improving but at a very slow pace. She wakes up at night between 1.30-300 and is very restless, nose blocked, cough as though phlegm in chest. Is very tearful and tries a lot to sleep. Her mucous now has turned yellow and thick from runny and clear watery. And is definitely not as much as before.

I shall still continue the medicines suggested and observe.

Calc carb worked wonders on her yesterday from the very 1st dose!

Hi dr,

She's definitely getting better with the use of medicines you suggested. However, she seems to now have a chesty cough with sound in the chest when she breathes. It's not a whistling sound but sound of phlegm. The cough has reduced but still exists. She coughs to try and take phlegm out but it does not come, sometimes it does.

Hay fever is completely gone - took her near flowers and she's happily playing in the garden now.

Mucous has thickened and gone yellowish. She gets blocked nose once everyday between 2am and 4.30am and wakes up very distressed and is always crying and clingy during that time only. She also seems very sensitive to my moods as in pre-empts I am angry and cries when I never got angry at her. Always been very patient.

She is very happy outdoors and wants to be out all the time.

Please suggest if we need to change remedy for getting her cough and sound in the chest out of the way.

Many thanks
Regards

She is also still got hard stools like constipated but clears her bowels twice or even thrice everyday. Drinks plenty of water too, so it is not because of less water intake.

Hi Dr,

Hope you are well.

We have completed 4 days of Ant Tart 30 and 8 days of Calc carb 30 and calc phos. 6x.

She seems very much recovered and happy and is active as before. However, she is stll got some cough, especially in the morning after waking and when she is hungry and also when the weather is wet and damp.

She is very happy and active when the weather is warm/ hot and sunny.

She gets sweaty very easily, especially at nights if we cover her with the duvet/ blanket.


No Blocked nose, no runny nose, no pollen allergy.

Her mucous is almost gone but, is become a little yellow again. However, she seems healthy and fine and still has hard stools although she clears her bowels everyday. She is not as clingy as before.

Please suggest if we need to wait & watch or give her something else.

Kind Regards

Hello Dr,

She is completely recovered from Hay Fever and also absolutely fine now with regards to teething and no mucous, etc.

She has received her MMR vaccination last thursday and since almost 2-3 days now, gets 103/104 fever, everyday from 4.30pm to 4.00am. She has decent meals in the day u ntil lunch time. However, may be due to fever just doesnt drink any milk or eat any food. Has lots of water and just sleeps. Even the sleep pattern is quite disturbed and wants to stay close to me all the time.

I have been told with MMR this is quite common after 5-6 days of vaccination and only lasts 2-3 days. Hoping to see a change, as today would be the 3rd day. She has no rash seen yet.

Just giving an update.

Thank you very very much for all your help and patience.

Kind Regards
Preethi

Glad to know that she has recoverd.
After vaccination, It is a common reaction. Fever will go after 3-4 days. But there is no need to give MMR. Such type of vaccination are available in Homeopathy by oral doses without any side effect. You should have opted for that. Any way it is gone now.

Hi Dr -

We are not at all vaccination fans and very much dislike the whole theory behind it too. Its very much designed around benefits to pharma industry than individuals well being. Th doctors and hospitals here bully you to such an extent that they refuse school admissions in schools unless vaccinated which is v tragic.

Anyway - her fever is now completely gone. However, she has developed some mild chesty cough. Nose is not watery unless in distress. There is mild rattling sound in chest even when asleep. Keeps wanting to suckle, her lips are always in a suckling motion and shez also teething.

Although, this time I think her teething existed even before she got her fever but she was managing it with ease. But since her fever episode, she has again become irritable on teething pain, wants to bite, and overall is more clingy and is again not completely free and enjoying like before. (She recovered absolutely beautifully to her old self after your medication). Was ecstatic outdoors like she always did, however now, is reserved and clingy. Is getting irritable indoors everywhere other than home. Loss of appetite but points to foods to eat but doesnt. Always wants to eat watermelon.
Is not playing 100% on her own always needs someone close to her.

Please suggest a medicine I can give her to help her.

No more vaccinations coming her way!

We have checked on her via a practitiner here for kinesiology to see whats causing this. Chrcked for post vaccination metals and virus. Metals seemed absent, however, the practioner said, virus is still in her body and in cells now as it has shown post vaccination virus. Donot know if this is useful for your analysis but just thought I should mention.


Please suggest what to give her. It is still spring here and weather is damp and mild cold.

Kindest Regards
Preethi

Hello Dr -

I have given her the medications as suggested by yourself. She has regained her health and diet back. And does not seem to show any major side effects.

However, there seems to be the following now:

1. Saturday night has developed runny nose all of a sudden.
2. By sunday morning the runny nose converted into yellow mucous discharge. This lasted 2 days.
3. After that, I have changed her diet slightly and given her a lot of water to wash off dirt. This has improved her health a lot and the discharge was back to runny and watery.
4. However, since last night, the discharge is still watery but only during the day. She has yellow discharge and chesty cough with phlegm inside in the morning when she wakes up. There is cough as well, which is irritating her.
5. Once she eats something, the cough reduces and also her discharge reduces but is still watery.
6. She seems okay and in peaceful sleep till 2am. From around 2 am , she wakes up snorty and crying - but goes back to sleep on giving something to fill her stomach - water or dilute milk.
7. Wakes up again around 4, for some water and sleeps off again.
8. She seems to be also having some rough skin on her arms. Definitely not on the folds of her hands and legs. This was very prevelant in both her hands and was even coming on her tummy on saturday.
8. However, with increased water intake, removing egg from her diet completely, and increased fruits and fruit juices, the rash is reducing.
9. It is now not present on her stomach, and one of her hands cleared only yesterday. However, she does ocassionally scratch not vigorously.
10. She also flushes (red cheeks) when we go out, as it is very hot these days here. (25-27 degrees).
11. Ocassionally , also sneezes when in the garden.
12. Her diet is unaffected by all this. She is still eating well.
13. She is also drolling quite a lot - so there is some teething, however, she does not seem irritated by that and is handling it pretty comfortably - except for not wanting to eat very hard food and wanting to chew on cucumber and carrot sticks - which is quite normal.

Please suggest what we could give her to regain her health back, especially the respiratory side of things.

Thank you very much for all your help.

Kind Regards
Preethi

Hello dr,

Hope you are doing good.

Given her the medicines last time and shemproved a Lott.

However, since 3 days again all of a sudden developed runny nose which converted to yellow discharge and blocked nose especially at night. Mornings it is more of thick yellow discharge.

She has all of a sudden developed mild rashes behind her knees and very very small patch above elbows which comes n goes.

She seems to be getting constipated often too, and whenever constipated her rashes increase till she releases her bowels.

Everything else is absolutely fine - diet, behaviour etc. she is 18 months now. Is summer this side. It seems like she could be allergic to eggs although need to further confirm it.

Please suggest if we need to give her anything.
