Sudden sneezing , nose block, breathing problems

Dear Doctor,

My son is 18 years old, 5'8' and 55 kg approx.

Since childhood he has having this breathing problems and we have got him treated by allopathic doctors who suggested nebulization which gave him relief. If he caught cold and cough, that also sometimes triggered breathing problem with chest infection for which antibiotics were administered.

Even now when has grown up this problem persists. He now suddenly gets sneezing sometimes perhaps allergic to something at home and then his nose blocks, he has to blow his nose several times. Sometimes he is otherwise perfectly okay but gets the breathing problems at night and when he gets up in the morning...sometimes gets up from sleep due breathlessness. It goes either by nebulising or by taking an inhaler ( I do not know the medicine name right now but perhaps it is taken by patients who are asthamatic). He is otherwise quite fit , goes to college , physically active and has no other problems like indigestion, weakness, headache. ONLY problem is he feels heavy in the chest and these days he gets this breathlessness in the morning or sometimes at night.

We have no family history of asthma or such breathlessness problem. His sister never had such problems.

Please ask me if any other questions I need to answer.

Please suggest some good treatment in homeopathy.

Thanks
Regards

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

What did the ENT say about his possible DNS, Sinus & Tonsils health.

DNS , Sinus is normal but yes, he has tonsils. The doctor advised not to operate them and to be careful by not taking cold stuff , pickles or any citrus food which may aggravate it.

Please advise
Thanks

The questions have to be answered by your son directly, not you.

Dear Doctor

Thanks for the questions. In fact I am very happy to see so many questions. This clearly proves about good advise from you. There are many Homeopaths who do not ask any questions and treat generally which is perhaps not correct as per homeopathy line of treatment.

I will sit with my son this evening and answer each question in as much detail as possible.

Who filled the questionnaire. I can tell right off the cuff that its totally incorrect in the sexual sphere.

That's why I don't take up cases where the patient himself doesn't answer. He has to be totally unsupervised and confident that no one will read his reply, only then can I get the truth.
 
fitness 9 years ago
Dear Doctor

Since you had said categorically that it has to be answered by the patient himself, I had left him alone to answer each questions carefully and in full. I also told him to answer whatever he feels like.

If you are not satisfied, I will ask him to email you the answers which you need answers again. Please let me know which questions he needs to answer. Perhaps he may have not openly answered the questions related to sexual behavior as he may be thinking , I may see them :)

Please advise..

Thanks

Please ask him to review the entire questionnaire and give candid and 100% honest answers even if awkward otherwise I will not be able to prescribe. He can email me.

I have read the case history sent to me via email and have a strong feeling that the case details are not being fully disclosed. I don't know why.

This makes for a poor starting point. Anyways, I will try to prescribe with what I have been given.

Your remedy is: Tuberculinum 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.

HOMEOPATHIC AGGRAVATION
Sometimes the symptoms for which treatment is being done can worsen after taking the homeopathic remedy. This is homeopathic aggravation and a good sign. It usually dies down within 24-48 hrs. During this time you can use any non-medicinal means to keep yourself comfortable. If the aggravation seems excessive, you can use any & all means necessary (including taking allopathic medicines) to keep yourself comfortable. Keep your homeopath fully updated if this happens.

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.

Dear Doctor

Whatever, he could express, he has done it. He would take the medicine prescribed by you as per the instructions given therein.

Will also update you the result. I know there could be an aggravation.

Thanks for your advise and help
