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

I believe that Nat Phos 6x (biochemic) can help your boy. You can give him 1 tablet after a meal and observe how he reacts.

You should also try to feed him small meals but more often as his stomach will be able to handle them better.

Please report response in a few days if you use this remedy.

where can we get this medicine,in regular pharmacy shop?.Should he take 3 tablets (nat phos6x)after breakfast,lunch,dinner.

mshanmuga last decade

I am concerned to note that you have not read my advice of the dosage to be used for your son.

The dosage that I recommended is ONE tablet Nat Phos 6x to be taken after a meal. I did not want you to give him 3 tablets after 3 meals.

I shall repeat the dosage again which I hope you will follow carefully:

1 tablet Nat Phos 6x to be taken after lunch and dinner only. Total to be taken per day not to exceed 2 tablets.

I hope that this is clear.

he vomits most probably when he is eating,or 2-3 hrs after eating,i thought his eczema has gone,but now it has come back,may be due to winter.I don't know if he vomits,due to tonsilitis(big ,not red) ,i have homeopathy medicine for that ,which contains mixture of mercurius iod,belladonna,kali muriaticum,baryta carbonica,ferrum phosphoricum.Can i treat hi with this medicine first.one tablet 3 times a day,totally 3 tablets a day.Iam gona try half of this dosage.Please help.Will this cure reflux and allergy problem.

mshanmuga last decade

I believe that his main ailment is his vomiting after a meal. Nat Phos 6x is the remedy and you should concentrate on stopping this problem which can affect his general sense of well being if he continues to bring up his food daily. When did he first start to do so ?

I am wondering if he has some other reason for doing so and would prefer that you consult a Pediatrician ASAP as one cannot take a chance with a 3 year old.

The Arnica 6c will help with his Eczema and you should use it in the water dose taken twice daily.

I would not recommend that you use the Multi remedy tablet for his Tonsillitis which should be treated with an antibiotic if his tonsils are infected as this can be the cause of his problem.

The ecezema started when he was born(premature 34 weeks),after 6 months he started vommitting solid foods and similac powder 4 times a day.So went to a GI doctor,(barium test came back negative)he said allergic to dairy products,egg,peanut,nuts,soy,wheat,put a tube in his nose and fed milk, he throwed 3-4 times a day,his weight gained,but vomitting never stopped,it stopped after one year old ,but he did not eat food ggod,6 bites and that is it,he drinks pediasure milk.They said not to force food ,his vommitting stopped never gained weight,he was 2 and half years old 21 pounds(1 year old weight below chart).Went to allergy doctor gave him allergen drops for six months,he started eating little bit,his vommitting started again.No other way,i forced and fed him,he slowly gained from 21 to 29 pounds.He never gets hungry,if hungry 6 bites,eats junk food good.Applying dharma soothe oil for eczema..gets better ,but come back.Regular pediatrician said the tonsillitis will go away as he grows and also the vommitting will stop ,when he grows up,I cry and pray god every day for his vommiting to stop.I have seen so many doctors ,no cure.Please help me.He is now circling around 27-28 pounds.He manages to take 2-3 bottles (8oz) a day,little food here and there.If i stop pediasure,just little food.Not sufficient for his age,picky eater.

regarding where to obtain homoeopathic or the schussler remedies in the US, they are usually available in good health food stores and not in the pharmacies. If required remedy is not available, good health food stores usually order them for the customer.

Yoshi last decade

I note that you are again toying with the dosage which I have dealt with in my last post which I shall copy below:

He had chips and salsa for snack,i gave one tablet after 15 min7:30 pm.Then i tried to give rice and hot dog at night for dinner 9:30 pm,he refused to eat,but somehow while eating couple bites,he throwed up.After that then what is the use of giving medicine,i believe the medicine is to digest the food.

mshanmuga last decade

Judging by what you stated you fed him, I am beginning to wonder if the real reason for your 3 year old son rejecting his food is due to your overfeeding him.

You state that you had fed him Chips and Salsa for a snack and then again a Hot dog for dinner in 2 hours. This seems to me to be too much food for a 3 year old boy and you are advised to consult a paediatrician to verify whether your son has any medical problem or if his problem is a case of overfeeding.

♡ Joe De Livera last decade

You requested to give smaller meals often,so how much time interval should i feed him.

mshanmuga last decade

At 3 years of age, I remember that gave my 3 sons just 3 meals daily. Plenty of fruits in between like Bananas, Mangos, Pineapples. Meals are always home cooked and this makes a big difference in the child's weight in later life as fats can be avoided with home cooking.

Your son will be the best judge of how much food he requires as he will not bring it up. He should only be fed to the point that he wants to eat. You do not have to stuff him till he throws it out as when he refuses to eat you should stop feeding him.

No medicine is required like Nat Phos if you follow my advice.

♡ Joe De Livera last decade

Not sure if anyone even looks at this post anymore since it is over a year old, but my 2 year old is having the same issues, only he hasn't been diagnosed with reflux. If he runs, or laughs, or cries he vomits. Sometimes he coughs, gags and sneezes when eating which sometimes usually leads to vomiting around 3-4 times a week. He has had an upper GI and a modified barium swallow. Dr.'s want to do a nuclear medicine test. Any suggestions??

srspratt last decade

Hi mshanmuga,

Can you please let me know if you found the reason etc for your kids vomiting problems..

I have a two year old with exact same issues.

Thanks in advance.

Have you noticed if the child vomits after takig any milk item? or
Any other particular food?

Rajendra last decade

Nothing in Particular,

He eats everything normally and drinks milk normally. But if he coughs little bit or laughs a lot or plays a lot, some times in middle of sleep in night he vomits everything he ate or drank.

Please advice.

kapaganty last decade

so the problem comes in the night while the child is at sleep? pl. confirm

Rajendra last decade

Please refer to my earlier post,

As I said he vomits all the time. Following are the events which generally trigger the vomits.

* when he coughs little bit
* when he aughs a lot
* when he plays a lot,
* some times in middle of sleep in night he vomits everything he ate or drank.

Please advice.

kapaganty last decade

Pl. give the child Ipecauanha 30C (4pills three times a day)

Report on daily basis. For vomiting.

For Other ailments pl. summarise and will deal with them lateron.

Rajendra last decade

I have the same problem with my 2 1/2 year old. He has been vomiting several times a week since he was 1. WE have had several barium swallows done and speech therapy for possible dysphagia. Everything was negative. He vomits if he runs or laughs or if he coughs or sneezes. We're treating him for allergies right now. We do know that he is allergic to peanuts. Any suggestions? Can anyone shed any light on this?

srspratt last decade

Any worm symptom?

Any itching on the body?

Does he grinds his teeth at bed time?

What type of phlegum he passes on coughing?- White; Yellowish;, Greenish;, Milky: Thin; thick?

Any difficulty in expoctarating phlegum?

Any other symptom that you want to convey?

Rajendra last decade

No worm symptoms. He had eczema when he was little, but that is gone now. His phlegum is clear, sometimes whitish yellow. When he gets up in the morning and after nap he coughs and coughs until he gets the phlegum up and then he tries to throw up. When he feels like he's going to vomit, he asks for water and it has been doing the trick, he doesn't vomit if I get it to him in time. He does not grind his teeth. He is very congested most of the time.

It's so upsetting that my child can't run and laugh like other kids.

srspratt last decade

There appears to be some infection in the chest. Difficulty in expextoration.Phlegum is thich and yellowish.

Pl. give Kali Sulph 30 (2 pills three times a day) for three days and then report.
