Help fast! Child sick for 5 days

We have slept three hours last night. My 3,5 years old son has has some stomack flu and overall sickness for 5 days already.

He is crying all night that there is pain in the throat and in the stomack. I can hear the stomack movements at nights. He also has a bit of nausea and he vomites specially milk. He keeps swollowing at nights a lot.

Otherwise he is fine: no fever, eats quite well, drinks well. He is happy during daytime, even if he keeps complaining about the pain in the throat. Days are fine, but the nights between 23-03 are killing me!

Stool is hard and there is some constipation (the sickness started with diarreah, but it is over).
His nose is also running. It started yesterday. The mucus is so far clear and it is all the time wet under nose.
Sometimes he coughs once or twice.

The doctor just visited us and said there is nothing special. The throat is red and infected, but there is no coating on the throat nor on the tongue. The redness was the only remarkable thing.

I hope to find a solution before evening so that I can - finally - rest. Please help me fast!

GIve a cleansing enema with papaya mint tea and crushed garlic if available. If not, use any mint or cammomile tea or even mild soap - to loosen and clean out the colon and stimulate the immune system. Make 4 cups of solution a little warmer than body temperature. Lubricate the entering tube and the anus with water soluble oil or cream. THe person lies on their back or left side. Allow solution to enter 1 second at a time, waiting about 10 seconds in between eachtime. Use about 1/3 of the solution and let the child expell it on the toilet - earlier if they really feel the need. Eventually, you will use up all 4 cups. But - I forgot - before expelling on the toilet - raise the legs and trunk and turn the body on the right side, so as to get the solutin as far into the colon as possible. I've used this method for very serious conditions in children and adults for the past 17 years. If the child is not able to keep fluids down, also give a retention enema before sleep - just 4 or 6 oz of tea - do not expell. This will be absorbed by the body and end up in the bladder and is a natural way to prevent dehydration. Has been a life saver (literally) several times for us. ALSO - if the child is well enough to sit up for 15 min - let sit in a salt bath - warm water with 4 cups or so of salt - 15 - 30 minutes. will help to draw out toxins. ALSO : Sovereign Silver (the only brand I have found to be effective) will act as a natural killer of bacteria/virus/fungus - whatever is causing it. I would be glad to be contacted directly, if you prefer. Just let me know. I think there is a way. swhitney

Hi Dr Sajid Mahmood,

Finally we were able to sleep! Thank you very much for the help.

After half an hour I gave the boy Sulphur 30c he stopped complaining and became twice more energetic!
He was calm when going to bed.
At 2 am he woke up and I gave the third doze.

When he woke up after 6 am he complained the sore throat. I picked him up from school at 3 pm (just moment ago) and the first thing was, that he complained for the throat.

Do I continue giving him Sulphur?

His stomack seems to be ok. No nausea, no pain.
Last night stool was very, very soft.
Otherwise he seems healty, but tired after not sleeping well for many nights.
The coryza is the same.

Hi Switheny,

Thanks for new idea. The boy is not that sick anymore that I'd start doing that. But I'll remember that for the next time!

Hi,
I just started that.

Hi Dr Sajid Mahmood,

The boy woke up 5.30 this morning. Sometimes he says it is the throat, sometimes he says it is nothing.
But it is not normal that he wokes up that early. Something is bothering him.

I didn't find help of Merc Sol 30.
What is next? Just to wait?

Now the cough is looser, not bad though. The mucus is thicker and more yellowish from the nose.
The stomack is not bothering at all anymore.
He hardly eats (but he has always been a bad eater).

I will. He still complains for the throat.

Try belladonna 30 3 times a day....till symptoms improve

If the throat is very red and painful, sometimes apis is the best bet- same dosage till symptoms improve...often it does with just a couple of doses.
 
new2town last decade
Hi New2town,

The boy is still the same: crying at nights. A bit complaining the stomach again.

I didn't see any help from Pulsatilla.
I have no Apis at home, so I guess I go for Belladonna.

Thanks for answering!

Sovereign Silver could really help. It will kill the bacteria or virus causing the problem. Also, the apis melifica is a good choice, as the throat is red and painful. Maybe you can get some tomorrow. Best to you! swhitney

first give a camphor 6 one dose and give chamomilla 6 3 to 4 times in a day and stop all the medicine.

As you've gotten several different suggestions of homeopathic remedies, I suspect you might be feeling a bit confused and frustrated. (I'm a mother of 5.) Do you know how to muscle test to see which would be most effective? That is very helpful for us. If you are interested to find out how to do this and you don't know anyone that will teach you, I can describe it here for you. Let me know. I will check the posts in the morning. Sleep well - a salt bath in the evening is most relaxing as well as detoxifying - your son could find it most helpful right about now. swhitney

Hello everyone,

I guess the boy slept quite well last night. I have moved to the guest room and the father is taking care of him - so I don't know excatly. I guess the throat is not that painful anymore, so no Apis.

I am in the middle of giving Belladonna. I'll give one more doze.

I have sovereign silver, but I have never really used it.I also don't have Camphor at home.

I am very interested in hearing about the test to see the effectivness, Swhitney! I have never ever heard of that kind of test.

dear maria,
Camphor 6 must be beause you gave him no. of medicine for that immunity fails and no any medicine is working properly. What ever may be give him chamomilla 6 2 to 3 hrly at least for 24 hrs. and report me. If you will go at mental symptom i.e. crying will cure the other disease . You are unable to gues the problem what he have .
please report must be

Hi Maria - The doctors that taught it to us refer to it as "muscle testing." At first I was very skeptical, till I saw that it was truly valid. The usual way to do it for anyone about 12 years and up: have the person stand comfortably or sit on a chair or stool with his arms down at his sides. He should keep his elboe straight and arm STIFF and pressed against himself, while you try to pull his arm away from him, using the wrist as the fulcrum - the point where you are pulling. This will give you the idea of the person's strength. They just relax then. Then, the patient holds a medicine or food or whatever in their other hand, and you administer the test again. If the medicine will benefit the person, you (and they) will notice an increase in strength and it will be harder for you to pull their arm away from their side. Of course, if the medicine is not what their body is needing at this time, their response will be weaker. Many times it is very obvious. SOme times the responses are very similar. Be sure to always use the same point on the wrist, as if you go higher of lower, then that changes the ease for you, because it's a differnet fulcrum. For a CHILD who is unable to cooperate fully with this because of age or weakness, someone older will take their place, with the child on the adult's lap, and the medicine in the child's hand or lap. Use the adult's arm to pull. A doctor demonstrated how electricity pulls strength from us,using this manner. She tested us first and then had us hold a telephone in the other hand and tested us again. You can guess the results! We were convinced and have used this method successfully to help us ascertain what to use when dealing with medications of all kinds - even foods. As for the Sovereign silver, you can simply follow the directions on the bottle and it is a God-send! Best of success to you. sue

Hello everyone,

The boy seems to be ok. Has not been complaining the throat for 30 hours. So the case can be closed. Thank you all!

Sue, it was very interesting what you told me. It is difficult to "read", but I sure will try it one of these days.

So glad to hear it Maria! The muscle testing has come in handy when reading about symptoms and there seem to be several remedies which will help. Sometimes the one I thought would be it, showed dramatically not to be the one of choice at all! Hope you were able to learn from this experience with your son. Each time we gain a little more knowledge and experience and then can share with others as the opportunities present themselves. best to you! sue
