3 year old Girl suffering from Asthma and severe Allergy

Hi my daughter is suffering from severe allergy and asthma and need your help and advise.
She is allergic to Milk (Dairy products) and NUTS. We have tested this twice with physicians here at 2 yrs and 3 yrs of age.

Right now she is on the Orange puffer ( flovent) medication and when starts coughing or breathing heavily we use the blue puffer albuterol.

intially doctors said the allergy is what triggering her Asthma, but as of now we are not sure what exactly is triggering this.

sometimes when she has a head bath, she starts sneezing continuously and starts coughing where we give her Claritin allergy medicine.

Past episodes:
she will start sneezing and it will turn into cough and then she will start vomitting. if vomitting doesnt stop wetake her to hospital.
sometimes the blue puffer would reduce her vomitting.

Kindly request your advise on this.

Thank you.

5. What is your main health problem & its symptoms

My child (3 years and 5 months old) is having severe allergy to Milk (including Cow’s milk and Goat milk), nuts (tree nuts, peanuts), dust and environment/weather changes.Recently Asthmatic attacks are more pronounced, even slight cold exposure is causing sneezing and wheezing episodes, even when given preventive puffers continuosly during winter.
Allergy-
When she comes into contact with any food/allergens that even contains traces of milk or nuts, she starts sneezing immediately (lots and lots of sneezing) and then vomits and throws up everything. After she vomits, most of the time she starts wheezing and had to be given puffer. Sometimes when she doesn’t go into wheezing, she still has heavy breathing and have to give her some medication to settle down. Few other times she would be completely fine and suddenly would start sneezing and would also throw up and start wheezing, although not sure what caused this sudden episode. Everytime she vomits (even since she was 7-8 months old),she used to get a lot of phlegm (mucus, clear, white).

Recently she has been sneezing(atleast 10 sneezes in a row) everyday duiring morning as soon as she wakes up from bed and then again during afternoon for no reason and during bed time and /or evening sometimes. Sometimes feels like she is getting a cold as she has runny nose and blocked nose after that but then she is fine after few hours. Really not sure whats casuing this as sometimes she has not even eaten anything.

6. When did this main problem begin
Started when she was 1.3 years old.

7. Can you relate any event which caused this problem
She was not allergic to milk when she was born and until 5 months or so, because she had milk based formula few times when she was little and was completely fine. She suddenly developed this allergies , could be due to Vaccination.No events as such caused the problem.


8. What makes the main problem better (e.g. massage, pressure, warmth, cold, lying down, sitting etc.)
If puffers ( blue and orange ) and allergy medications(Claritin, benadryl) are given ahead at the intial stage, it does help soemtimes, but only mediactions help so far.

9. What makes it worse (e.g. massage, pressure, warmth, cold, lying down, sitting etc.)
Cold,and exposure to cold air makes it worse. Lying down makes cough bad when she has cough.

10. How do you feel mentally & emotionally during this problem (e.g. weepy, irritable, restless, sad, hopeless, fear of death etc.)
weepy, restless and very tired.

11. What other health problems do you have

Frequent Sneezing:

She suddenly starts sneezing and seems like she is going to have a cold. White clear mcus comes out every time and she does sneeze a lot. Since we do not know what caused this, we give her Claritin

Although she has turned 3, she still wakes up 3-4 times and asks/takes milk (soy milk) during sleep.At present, although we give her( Soy milk) bottle at around 11 PM at night (around 220-250 ml) , she doesn’t sleep for more than 3-4 hours continuously and wakes up between 2-3 Am and asks for milk again. We give her another bottle and sleeps only until 6:30 or 7 Am and starts crying again and we feed her water or left over milk or if she cries a lot , she gets 150ml of milk again. IF we don't give her milk, she wakes up completely from sleep and complians she is very hungry.

Frequent wake up and feeding is also another concern for us now that she has turned 3.5 years and she is not sleeping through the night for even 6 hours and wakes up frequently.


Acid reflux – she was treated for reflux when she was just 1.5 months old. She was given Ranitidine, and then Prevacid for couple of months and then she was fine. Again when she was 1.5 years old, she was given prevacid, and Domeperidone for her constant throwing up and very poor apetite and not liking any food and would always seem like she wants to vomit anytime she eats. NOw we have stopped all these medications, as she has shown some improvement , but still has a very very poor apetite and doesn't like any food easily and also passes a lot of gas. Doesn't take a good quanity of food and doesn't seem full anytime.



12. What makes these other health problems better or worse (explain each problem)

Waking up frequently at night:

Better- If she is very tired and doesn't take any nap during the day and also if we give her banana (something to feel full) at night before going to bed, she sleeps ok although still wants milk at least 2 times.
Worse- Not eating properly during night and if she is sick.


Gas and Poor apetite:
Better-when she is fed at right times, no gassy food, sleeps right time and has fruits (happens very raely once in few weeks)
Worse- either food or sleep time changes, or introduce new food/vegetable or if she drinks lot of milk during night, the next day she is not hungry.


13. What animals or insects are you afraid of

She is afraid of even small insects(bees, centipedes etc) although likes them in movies, and cartoons. we are not sure which animals she is afraid of.Small Dogs are ok but doesn't show much liking when she sees a cat, doesn't want to pet.

Darkness, heights..although she is showing slight improvement with darkness , but will not stay alone in a room

15. What occupies your mind mostly

Cartoon/movie characters , movie songs.

16. How do you respond to consolation & sympathy

Your remedy is: Calcarea Carbonica 200c.

HOW TO TAKE THE REMEDY:
Please take one dose. Just one dose. Not daily.
Report back in 5 days with changes observed.

TIME OF DOSE:
At night before sleeping.
Don’t take any more dose or any other remedy unless I tell you.

PILLS/PELLETS:
If your remedy is in the form of pills:
One dose is one pill.
Dissolve the pill in your mouth.

LIQUID REMEDY:
If your remedy is in liquid form:
Put one drop of the remedy in half glass of water, stir and take one tea spoon from it.
That’s one dose.

PRECAUTIONS:
Don’t take any other homeopathic remedy during this treatment.
Give a break of at least 10 minutes before eating/drinking anything before or after taking the remedy.
During the course of treatment, don’t eat anything which you have never had all your life.

HOW TO GIVE FEEDBACK:
A good example of how to report your progress is by giving %age improvement for all your health problems e.g.
Headache: 30% better
Low energy level: 50% better
Anxiety: 40% better
Sadness: No change
Depression: Worse
And so on list all your complaints.

GENERAL INFO ABOUT HOMEOPATHIC PRESCRIBING:
If someone is giving several remedies, without waiting to see the effect of one remedy, then it is totally against the core principles of homeopathy. Such an approach is unlikely to give permanent cure, rather it may distort actual symptoms making subsequent cure even more difficult.

Allergy : no change
Asthma : No improvement
She had caught cold and it turned into mild wheezing and vomiting and we had to use the puffer.
 
Ganeshm69 last decade
I would like to just offer some advise and it is to remove gluten from the diet especially wheat,
I am sure you will see improvement.
My sons asthma was cured nice it was removed from his diet.
Gluten and dairy are the main foods that aggravate a lot of illness and disease ;)

hi anindya384, Thank you, couple of questions. I am not sure on how to report the feedback to you. after one set of medication is done, should we see some drop in coughing/wheezing ?. Also how about allergy ?
 
Ganeshm69 last decade
First report on 07th day of starting the course. By that time it is expected that she would feel better in sleep, dreams will reduce during sleep, some betterment in Asthmatic condition. Sneezing also may get reduced by some means.

Second on 14th day and so on. I'll be in touch. If any thing urgent and I'm not replying in this forum, then contact me on my email.
 
anindya384 last decade
Please decide who you want to follow instead of engaging two prescribers at the same time.

Prescribing several remedies at the same time is totally wrong & against homeopathic principles and will definitely screw up the entire case.

I agree, that does seem to me to be an excessive amount of remedies to be prescribing at one time. What is the logic behind such a prescription?

Leaving this case to all experienced and high profiled doctors.

Thanks doctors, for a nice humiliation without even asking for me to explain the process.

The patient is only three yrs old and I knew what I was doing.

Regarding prescribing several remedies,... The patient was asked to give a feedback every 7 days to keep a track whether the remedies are going ok with the patient or some changes are required in potency or the medicine itself.

I am following this forum since recently and seen Doctors who have made 900 posts to cure a crying baby. And seen doctors who have refused to take a case seeing the intensity of the disease when produced with a picture of the patient.

Regarding 'Screwing Up' the case, 'Profile' and 'Experience'......No one would like to worsen the conditions of an ailing patient. I know what I do...... Patient's satisfaction and wellness is the only fees I take ever.

Thanks & regards to all experienced and profiled doctors.

I would have started with Antim CrudE 200C one dose.

The list of remedies that you have prescribed can have no explanation as its not homeopathy.

Homeopathy is 'single, similar, minimum'. Period.

My post was not meant to intimidate rather state the fact as it is.

If you are interested in homeopathy, you have to learn to prescribe ONLY single remedy and then keep a track of your accuracy & success. This will tell where you stand.

simone717 last decade
I concur with Fitness, homoeopathy was meant to be practiced using the Single Remedy principle. There are many valid reasons, both practical as well as philosophical, as to why a single medicine should be prescribed.

Single remedy prescribing is very difficult. It requires many things of the practitioner, and I understand that because of this difficulty many alternate methods of prescribing have arisen. The most common one being making no final decision about the remedy but giving many or all of the possible remedies together, or in sequence.

Being able to choose one remedy requires quite a lot of a homoeopath:
- a well taken case
- determination of what needs to be treated (what is disease)
- determination of what is actually peculiar in the case
- establishment of a proper hierarchy in the symptoms
- translation of those symptoms into the correct rubrics (which requires a good working knowledge of repertory)
- the ability to differentiate remedies based on their totality (which requires an extremely good knowledge of material medica)
- the ability to assess responses to a remedy and act appropriately (which usually takes not just knowledge around second prescription but experience as well as confidence in homoeopathy and in your last prescription)

Finding one remedy to cover the current totality/most important or core aspect of the case really means you have to know what you are aiming that remedy at. Symptoms are not enough, the totality must be identified and outlined clearly. It is hard work, as Hahnemann said.

For the practitioner, single remedy prescribing has many advantages. The most important of those is that for case management, it is vital to know what remedy worked, so that you can either adjust dosage, potency, frequency, or prescribe complementary/miasmatic remedies. Just as important is that if there is aggravation or proving or suppression, you know exactly which remedy is doing that so you can immediately stop/counter it. Without knowing exactly which remedy creates the harm, you are faced with the prospect of 5 or 10 remedies which you cannot safely repeat, even if one of them is the remedy the patient actually needs.

On top of that, remedies can antidote one another. This can result in the right remedy being prescribed, but a second remedy neutralizing it, which makes it look like the right remedy is the wrong one. It is possible the patient may then report it as a wrong remedy to other prescribers who may then avoid it.

This is the chaos that comes from prescribing multiple remedies at once.

Even the Bannerji protocols typically keep prescriptions to 2 remedies, which at least minimizes the potential problems. It does not eliminate them of course.

Does this mean single remedy prescribing ensures success? No, it does not. With so many requirements for a successful prescription there are many points at which a prescriber can make an error.

Homoeopathy requires a lot of skill and dedication, a lot of continual learning and experience. However, this potential for error is not alleviated by prescribing more than one remedy. It adds further complications that can outweigh any possible benefit.

Of course it is easy to point at botched cases and make assumptions about why they happen. Single remedy prescribers make errors so it must be single remedy that caused the problem, or multiple remedy prescribers are accused of the same thing. In the end, it is the lack of skill, knowledge, care, or experience that usually is the cause. There is actually a fair bit of room for variation while still working within the principles, allowing practitioners to express their creativity and innovation.
