How many drops for a small bottle of globules? Page 2 of 3

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
She coughed throughout the night and it got worse at 4am onwards. Finally at 5.30am, she threw up and thick light yellow phlegm came out.
I guess she felt better after that because only then she could fall asleep.

About the cookie, nothing special. An ordinary cookie with peanut butter filling. Because of her recurrent coughs, I’ve always limited her intake of junk food or sugary food and food containing gluten like bread, cake and cookies that enhance phlegm production.
So because of her extra intake the last few days, that could be a contributing factor of her increasing mucus again.
Besides the cookies, she also ate a lot of bananas. I’m not sure if that has any relation but through my readings bananas do increase histamine production which could also contribute to coughing. So I’ve stopped the bananas.

She woke up this morning coughing with very loud phlegm at her throat. She has also started sneezing since yesterday evening. But no discharge. Today there is clear discharge. No fever.

Despite her worsening cough, her mood is surprisingly well as she’s still smiling and playing well with her big sister. She’s not clingy or crying all the time.
Her appetite is also great at the moment.

According to the new prescribed dosage, I should be giving her the second dose tomorrow as the first one was given 25th march. Is that correct?

(This was written this morning)

Update at night: (some symptoms have changed from morning)
1) cough reduced 20% but still coughing frequently especially when lying down and sleeping.
2) sneezing increased 50% with extremely runny nose. Clear watery discharge.
3) red, droopy eyes.
4) looks weak, and gets cranky easily.
5)no fever

Thank you.

Since her condition is getting worse, can I email you?
I noticed your email at your profile.

Will get back to you soon. Meanwhile increase the dosage to twice a day for the next 24 hours and then reduce to once per day. Give another update after two doses.

You had asked me earlier what medicine to purchase in 200c. I have one answer for you today :) You can purchase sulph. 200.

Some questions:

When she had pneumonia last month which medicines were used then? modern or h'pathic?

Banana, cookie/gluten, sugar--how has her system tolerated these things over time? Is there a difference in how these things impact compared to past and present?

Does any one in the family have TB history?
 
maheeru 5 years ago
She was given antibiotics last months. No other medicines.

Most often, food enhancing mucus does exactly that to her thus I prevent it as much as I can. Her diet mainly consists of healthy real food.

I’ve always applied this diet on her since she started eating which is when she was 7months, so I don’t think there is much difference in the past or present.

I do not know anyone in the family who has TB.

May I know why? Because her cough doesn’t sound dry as I know TB is supposed to be a dry cough, right?

This is an update of last night’s condition: (it’s dawn now)

Gave her a dose of phos 200c in the morning.
Cough reduced 10% throughout the day.
When coughing, phlegm sounds very thick.
Sneezing and runny nose increased 10%. (Sneezing almost every 10mins, extremely runny nose)

Overall condition improved 10%.

Throughout the night, hardly slept.
Coughed and stuffy nose.
Cough got worse at 4am onwards.
Not much different from last night.

I will buy sulph 200c.
In the meanwhile should I continue giving the phos 200c?
I also have hep sulph 30c at moment.
 
namn 5 years ago
How many doses of phos. 200c have been taken till now? If four doses have been taken in the last 48 hours and if the improvement is still around 10%, then we need to switch. Do you have sulph. 30 or Lyc. 30? Oh you said sulph. 30c is available. Then you can switch to it if improvement is not enough from Phos. doses.

Get all these in 200c if not already available: Sulph, calc. carb., Lyc..

Asked about TB to understand the genetic susceptibility. Sometimes TB running in family would be a clue to use a particular set of medicines to clear respiratory issues that continue to hang fire.
 
maheeru 5 years ago
She has taken 3 doses of phos 200c in 48hours.
I gave her another dose this morning.
I’m beginning to see a big difference since yesterday.
No more sneezing and runny nose.
Slept quite well throughout the night. Did not wake up because of coughing.
During day, just once in awhile coughing (about once an hour) that sounds very phlegmy.

When I gave her the remedy this morning, she immediately coughed and threw up thick yellowish phlegm.
There is still alot in there that needs to come out.

So the main issue currently is to get rid of the thick phlegm in her throat completely.

Since she is improving, do I need to switch remedies?

I’ve ordered sulph 200c and it will arrive in 2 more days.

What I have is hep sulph 30c. Is it the same with sulph?
 
namn 5 years ago
No hepar sulph. is not the same as sulph. Both are different medicines.

If improvement is there no need to switch now.

Let's persist with Phos. 200 for now.

Hello mr maheeru,

My sulph 200c has just arrived.

This is my child’s current update:

31/3: 2 doses of phos 200c given.
phos 200c given 10.55am.
Coughing immediately after meds given,
Threw up yellow phlegm.
Gave another dose at 12am before sleep.


1/4 woke up with no more coughing or sneezing, just phlegmy.
Stopped remedy.

2/4: 1 dose of phos 200c given.
coughed a little, thick mucus sound. No sneezing.
Gave phos 200c at 10.50am.
Immediately sneezed alot in the first 15minutes and started coughing with loud mucus sound at throat.
No throwing up.
Yellow thick mucus comes out from nose.

3/4-current; still coughing occasionally. About once in 4 hours or so.
Yellow thick mucus comes out from nose. And this is not due to sneezing because she has stopped sneezing but it comes out after the phlegmy coughing.
No vomiting.
No remedy has been given yet.

Overall improvement since 5 days ago (when she got worse), is 60%.
Current condition that needs to be treated: eliminating the thick mucus at her throat and thus getting rid of her recurring cough completely.

Thank you for your time.

So totally four or five doses of phos. 200 given?

Give her four more doses every six days meaning leave 5 intervening days without medicine and repeat a dose on sixth day.

If improvement does not reach 100% or new symptoms come up let me know.

Hello Maheeru,

My daughters’ diarrhea is gone.
Today however they’ve started sneezing and having clear watery discharge.
I suspect it’s due to being exposed too long in the aircond.

For the 2yo, Her cough’s severity has come and go and I’ve been following the instructed dosage.
The last time I gave her phos 200 was on 17/4. One dosage.
Since 26/3, she has been given 8 doses of phos 200.

Currently, as in today, she hasn’t been coughing but I can hear the phlegm at her throat. Sneezing and runny nose.

The 6yo hasn’t been given anything yet. She’s not coughing, just sneezing and runny nose.

As the symptoms have changed, do I need to change remedies?

Thank you.

How many doses of Ars. alb was given?
 
maheeru 5 years ago
I didn’t give the ars alb as we were away at that time and by the time we got home, they were getting better.

There is some correction though.
Since 4days ago which is when the food poisoning happened, She has been coughing actually and it usually ends with some gagging or vomiting food.
It just happened a minute ago. She is currently sleeping, she coughed and vomited some food.
She seems to feel better after vomiting and is back to sleep but there is still the sound of phlegm as she breathes.

Current update: 19/4
Both are coughing.
6 yo more frequent and more phlegmy. Still sneezing.
2 yo seldomly cough, more to sneezing. Discharge has turned thicker, greyish.

What was the food material that caused the upset?

Is your elder daughter under any h'path's care already?

Please make use of the questionnaire i gave you for both of them but give the descriptions divided by a separator if you are going to describe symptoms for both---somethings were not clear like whether both have cough or one is having cough and other is sneezing.
 
maheeru 5 years ago
I think is was contaminated rice. For both of them.

No, my daughters are not under any other specific homeopath’s care.

Details for 6yo:
I gave her Aconite 30 , 5 doses on 11/4 till 13/4 when she was having a mild fever and diarrhea.
The diarrhea is gone.
No other remedies were given.
Started sneezing on 16/4.
Started coughing today (18/4)
And still sneezing with runny nose
Currently Coughing is more dominant than sneezing.

Details for 2yo:
Did not gave her Aconite when she was having diarrhea because worried that it would interfere with her phos.
So her last dosage was phos 200c on 17/4.
Nothing given since then.
No more diarrhea.
Sneezing and runny nose.
Coughing once in awhile; about 5 times in a day.
Sneezing more dominant than coughing.
No vomiting today.

Continue phos. 200 for younger daughter. Purchase phos. 1M for future use.

For older daughter, stop phos. 30c. Give her Puls., doses 30c or 200c.
[Edited by maheeru on 2018-04-20 16:56:57]
 
maheeru 5 years ago
I will order phos 1m.
Do you have any other suggestions what other remedies to purchase?

Will order Puls 200c. I only have Pulsatilla 30.
Will give it to her tomorrow morning when she wakes up.
Is it 3 doses a day? For 3 days?
 
namn 5 years ago
I think i already said sulph., Lyc., calc. for purchase.

Thrice for the first day, twice for the next two days.

Should I continue the phos 200 with the 2 yo?

namn 5 years ago
For 6yo you can finish the already stated dosage and seems she has done well.

For 2 yo seems the improvement is not good, give her twice a day for two days only. If she does not improve beyond 60 to 70% then give more details. May be medicine has to be changed.

Hello Maheeru,

Hope you are well.
My 2.5 year old’s cough has gotten better.
Throughout the past month, sometimes if she has a mild cough, I’d give her phos 30 and very soon it would get better.

Yesterday she began to cough, with sounds of phlegm in her throat.
She got it from her 6 yo sister who was coughing days before but has been recovering well by taking pulsatilla 30. Today her cough is almost gone.
So as usual, I gave the 2yo phos 30 yesterday and the 3rd dosage was last night before she went to sleep.

A few hours after she slept, she began coughing frequently but this time it sounded so dry and painful.
Almost like a very dry barking. She was crying as I knew her throat must be throbbing.
It got worse at dawn. She was even breathing quite rapidly.
The cough usually ends with a gagging but no vomiting so far.
Besides giving her water, I didn’t know how to make her feel better so I have her a spoon of honey.
Thank God, the cough stopped for awhile and she went back to sleep.

Currently, she’s sleeping and her breathing seems back to normal but she still wakes up once in awhile with the cough and crying each time.
I’m thinking maybe the phos 30 is not the remedy this time?
Can you help me with this?
Her condition yesterday was the same like the previous conditions, only this morning it has changed to a dry painful cough.
For dinner last night, she had rice with prawns fried with tumeric. Besides that, nothing out of the ordinary.
3 doses of phos 30 was given yesterday.

Really appreciate your guidance.
