The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Dr. Kadwa please help us!
My daughter is 3 1/2 years old and she is currently suffering from obstructive sleep apnea because of enlarged adenoids and tonsils. For the past 15 days or so, she is struggling at night to breathe. She is not getting any sleep now because she had this problem in the past but it only happened once a night. Now it's all night long. The poor thing is so exhausted during the day and gets delirious at times because of extreme exhaustion. We have been to her pediatrian and the ENT and the conversation is of course surgery. My daughter is a happy little girl, extremely social with a loving mother and father, loves to play outside in the sunshine or actually anywhere. She loves when we read and sing to her. You can only imagine our heartbreak right now. She is 34 pounds about 3 1/2 ft tall. I have been reading some posts that indicates calc phos and agrap nut. I'm willing to try anything because my poor daughter sometimes cries because she's so tired. Please help us!!! We will be eternally grateful for any and all help!Josiekatt on 2015-07-29
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
My daughter actually started with pausing her breathing while she was nursing at about a year old or so. She nursed quite often until she was almost 2 1/2. It happened about a few times a month, then once or twice a week, then she started having at least one episode a night since she was 2 1/2. Her pediatrician said that this is common in children from 3-6 years old and that they grow out of it. This is day 17 of her having these episodes all night long. Now the doctors want her to have surgery. My thought is if she is going to grow out of it and the tonsils and adenoids are meant to be in your body to fight infection, why cut them out? Everyone is so eager to push surgery. If surgery is a last resort after I have exhausted all of my resources, then I will do that but they wouldn't even suggest homeopathy and I don't know why. Please please please help us do something so she can have some relief!

Omg I'm sorry I forgot to say that she had acid reflux since she was one week old. It subsided after about 1 year old and shows up every now and then. She is having a flare up this past week. The pediatrician gave me a medicine for her but I stopped it after 2 days because it hurt her terribly and made it worse. I just changed her diet the past week, started and started giving her papaya enzyme and a probiotic. 2 weeks ago, I started giving her 10 drops of echinacea and a half teaspoon of cod liver oil to try to help with the adenoids and tonsil enlargement

No sweating. She tosses and turns constantly. It's as if she's holding her breath and then gasps for air

She snores and you can tell that she doesn't like to breathe out of her mouth because it's uncomfortable for her. I spend my whole night trying to help her reposition so she can breathe easier but sometimes I have no luck ð

I have her sleeping in my adjustable bed at an incline because that seems to help and so my husband and I can be here for her

Many of these questions don't apply or I don't know how to answer because she is still learning how to speak so she can't convey what's bothering her. Is there a different form for children?
Josiekatt 8 years ago
Yes there is but thats too big to paste here. I don't mind if you use the same form. You may skip the parts which do not apply.
♡ Zady101 8 years ago
We just moved and I don't have access to her vaccinations but other than the enlarged adenoids and tonsils, she is a solid, healthy child that loves to play with an incredible thirst for knowledge and wonderful energy

Thank you! And give me some time to complete my analysis and respond after you answer. And try to answer in as much detail as possible
