10. These questions can be related to the general condition but also to every complaint you have.
With every complaint there must be paid attention to following questions:
What circumstance can cause this complaint? (Anger, grief, cold weather, draft, exertion, sweating, etc.)
Where in the body is the exact localisation of your symptoms?
What circumstances can aggravate and ameliorate this symptom? The answers to that question are the most important to find the right remedy.
The exact sensation that is felt in the complaint (burning, drawing, stitching, etc.).
The exact description of the complaint (diarrhoea is watery, bloody, cough is dry, or expectoration is lumpy and yellow).
Are there any concomitant symptoms that accompany a special symptom? (In back pain there is also felt nausea for example)

11. Do you smoke?

12.How is the healing if you have a wound?
Do you have prolonged bleeding?
Tendency to have a collapse?

13.In woman: How is the bleeding during the period? Are there any changes during the time of the period?
Sexual problems?

14. Very important is the change in the mood during the disease.
Very often the cause of a disease can be found in stress of psychic origin.
What was the most severe grief in your life?
Can you weep?
How do you react to consolation?
What can make you angry?
Are you jealous?
Are there any anxieties in your life?
Have you been anxious as a child? Can you describe your character as a child?
Have you special fears: Heights? Robbers? Death? Dogs or other animals?
How do you react to other people? Do you like company or you prefer to be alone?
If you have grief do you want to speak with someone about or you prefer to solve the problem alone?
How do you react to crowds, to small rooms, elevators?
Can you wait? Are you impatient? Hasty? Always in a hurry?
Did you have grief, anger, disappointment in your life?
Is order in your life important?
How do you react to contradiction?
How do you react if you hear from other people if they are suffering?
How do you react to bad news in TV, to horror movies?
How is your situation at your working place? Your family?
How is your sleeping? Recurring dreams?
Is your sleep disturbed? In what position do you sleep?

15. It is very important to consider the psychic situation. Homoeopathy is a very holistic system of treating people and it is very successful because the whole person is included in the therapy, not only the physical complaints of the patient.

16. Did you suffer from other diseases before? Operations?

17. Accidents?

18. In children: How was the situation of the mother during pregnancy? How was the childbirth? Have there been problems during the first period of life?
How was the development of the child?
How did you react to vaccinations?

19. Are there diseases in the history of the family, the ancestors: Canc.., tuberculosis, heart problems, allergies, etc.?

Finally you can go through the body from above downwards, to make sure that you haven't forgotten anything important:
Head - Eyes - Ears - Nose - Mouth - Lips - Tongue - Throat - Glands - Chest - Heart - Lungs - Stomach - Liver - Abdomen - Bowel motion - Kidney - Bladder - Genitals - Back - Joints - Skin - Nails.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Respected Sir,

Once you replied for my daughter's problem at her thread.
This time my son need help, he have a history(Profile) at this Forum, usually doctor Nawaz reply but as i am writing after a long long time, so i need to write more doctors as it is urgent, i am also sending you my son's thread, and if you ask ill start a new thread.
http://abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/265553/2

I am writing you from Belgium. My son is having same old problem, his symptoms are;
*two days before he started sneezing some time, later nose started running,mucus was transparent, because of this he have now slight red rash inside his nostrils too.
*like always followed by running nose last night he before going to sleep cough started
*short dry coughs, some time one cough n sometime two coughs but that is dry
*today morning he can feel phylgm or mucus in his throat, but he could not bring it out.
*His nose polyp swelled first day he started sneezing, specially right polyp thats why at night breathing from nose is difficult, and it is still swollen.
*His tonsils are no good either, red and swollen, touches sometime the uvula, i think thats why he cough more if he keep on talking because the tonsil of right or left side touches the uvula.
*about weather here; temperature chnges quickly,sometime two days are hot followed by two days raining or cold winds.but at this time of year the weather is changing because winter is comming. last week two days hot followed by clouds and cold winds and he started sneezing with this change.today again it is clouds + sunny. we have much greenry here, i dont know about every plant or tree here yet, but i sometime see small flakes like pollen flying in the air.
*I dont think in food he is eating anything that causes this cough and swollen polyp n tonsils. you see he is having the tonsils all the time but normally they are no problem, it is sometime that they become active and causes cough, sometime he also have 'tonsil stone' in left tonsil but it goes out after some day by itself, leaving behind a permanent pocket in his tonsil.Right now he dont have tonsil stone i checked today morning.

Note: I need to remind you that usually this cough is followed by asthametic breathing, if this cough continues for one more day.

I request you suggest a remedy for my son as soon as possible, because i checked at nearby pharmacies they dont have all remedies n sometime they order the remedy which again is time consuming. I am also looking for a good homeopath in my or near my area.
awaiting

Best regards

Hannah

I think I've had exactly the same, my whole family actually. This is a very common cold, and goes away by itself. Of course not pleasant, but I do not think you should give medicine to everything. A cold can actually strengthen imunesystems, so he is more resistant later if it should, for example, get a severe flu later in the year.

If you believe this is an allergy as he continually receive, each year, we can look into a medicine.
You also speak of a polyp. Has he been to the doctor to examine this and had confirmed that there actually is a polyp?

What you call for asthmatic breathing, it is possible that it is 'croup'? Is this also examined by a doctor? Just ask to be absolutely sure I give the right medicine, if needed.
Please let know what the doctor says tomorrow, after examination.

Sincerely, R. Flemming

Thank you so much for your response sir.
Actually i came here from Pakistan its been only a month i am in Belgium, az i told you i am looking for a doctor right now but it is difficult for me to find a right doctor also because of language problem, i speak 2 languages, but no french neither flemish, i cannot explain the history of my son, he is having this problem by the time he was 2+yrs, in Pakistan he was having homeopathic treatment, though i bring as precaution his medicine with me but it is no good, unfortunately in Pakistan doctors dont tell the name of remedies, before i came here i asked the doctor that may be he can write a prescription for my son so that i can tell another doctor in Belgium what my son was taking before but he refused. i dont feel good because so far my son improved very much with homeopathy i dont want him to go back to the point where he started.
Yes my son have polyp which swell only with change of weather and block his nose specially at night, when my son is good the polyp goes back,in Pakistan we showed him to ENT doctor he suggested operation but we checked other doctors as well and they say it usually come back so operation is no good some time, on the other hand when we started homeopathic treatment my son did good. when he was 2yrs+ his problem started first in the month of May it was no cold and i was ignorant, later i came to know that it is like heyfever, in the begining he use to have this problem after every two weeks he was becoming weak with alopathic treatment specially with antibiotic after every one week, when he was 4yrs we started homeopathic treatment and he improved alot and hardly 2/3 times a yr he have this problem, and now we knew as soon as his nose start running we take him to homeopathic doctor and so he dont have to face breathing problem. Because usually the pattern is;
*first he sneezes sometime (not very loudly)
*same day or next his nose start running (white transparent colour/warm)
*then next day by evening cough start, always short dry cough (some time one cough sometime two, not very loud not like attack)
*and then cough for two days is never good because then his cough become bad, he have attacks of cough usually dry but many many coughs in one time that he dont hve space to breath, and he start breathing fast, slight whistle like sound in his breathing (that sound more from throat instead of chest) and his chest and belly also moves with fast breathing.
*his eyes goes deep like he is tired and then he says mama i want to breath deeply but cannot have enough air to take in.
*he have chronic tonsils too but homeopathic doctor was treating that too and it was good
*i see that before the rain is coming(usually 2 days before then he start sneezing) you see 3 days before in News i see that it will be rain on Sunday, and the next day of this News he started sneezing and i was noticing him and also that the clouds are coming and going.
*He is by nature very sensitive and hyperactive too(restless also sometime he goes to bed at night and cannot sleep) he is only 8yrs old.
*I read this that allergies usually enter in body through polyps or tonsils and thats why as reaction they swell. my son dont have allergy from any other thing but maybe only the clouds are resposible or like in Pakistan he also had this in Harvest season( that is usually twice a year around May and second time August September)
*his tonsils usually are no problem, they swell only when his nose start running, later become like bronchial asthama, his bad throat give him asthametic breathing.

I hope i explained as much as i can, i am sorry actually i am very worried...
right now i only have with me at home;
*Beladonna 30
*Hepar Sulf 30
*Ipecac 30
*Camomilla 200
*other remedies from the doctor unfortunately i dont know the names
but what ever you suggest ill try to get that tomorrow.

I hope my son ll feel good soon.

Awaiting

Best Regards
Hamna

Hi sir,

*yes he feel itch in anus actually around anus( i am not sure if its in anus )and i check him coz he do so in day time also and i ask him why u put your hand there, he feels itch, i checked he sometime have rash around anus, then i apply some creme or oil there.
*not much during day time but at night he often stretch his legs in his sleep, and he usually sleep in very odd postures, like often sleep on one side and his arm and hand are bend and down under his body weight, that can hurt him.
*never mentioned pain in toe nails
*yes he often rub his nose, specially when nose is running.
*yes he tell me about pain in his legs, and when we walk he get tired easily and say he have pain in his legs, he often tell me about pain behind knees, and leg muscles and feet. He refused to take part in races running at school and football coz he say
when he run he have pain in belly on left side specifically.
*yes he like outside and often want to remain outdoor even if his nose is running.
*no not been checked for worms, but one thing i often notice is that he have flatulance and his belly is not flat usually but no swelling either, its like air inside. and he eat good and sometime i feel he eat too much but overall he is not fat his belly only.

Hey.
Based on these data, I am inclined to believe that this is all about worms in the stomach. Obviously I can not be 100% sure, but maybe you could try a medicine for worm? Possible you can buy at a pharmacy where you live, or talk to your doctor.

A homeopathic medicine that may be relevant is 'teucrium Marum verum.' It is made of cat thyme. (Teucrium) If you want to try this, it is possible to buy from this site:

Try 30C, but maybe you should try a worm cure first.
