Am new to the forum, and hope you dont mind me joining!

Would like some advice regarding my 9 month old boy and his reoccuring coughs, chest infections, conjunctivitis and eczema! He just never seems well!

Is there anyone who can help me? And what do I need to tell you?

11. Desire(food) sweets/sour/salt: will eat anything! but gone off his milk
12. Thirst: loves water
13. Tongue: a funny colour! Not very pink - kind of purplish!
15. What exactly is happening ? see case history
19. What comes to your mind ? see case history
24. current medicine he is taking? he has been prescribed salbutamol inhaler when he coughs
28. desire and aversion of food - loves his food!
29. Mind-behavior, anger, irritability, hurry, impatient…and so.. on. Any confidential and private matter to be discuss by email. see case history
30. Aggravation (increases-time, season,)& Amelioration (Decreases) - seems to happen when weather changes - doesnt like the heat

- Elliot was born with the cord wrapped round his neck and chest and had to be resuccitated, but was fine.
- He suffered with reflux and colic until 3-4 months and was put on omneo comfort formula milk to aid digestion. he was also tried on gaviscon to no avail. I seeked the help of a homeopath and she prescribed calc carb in LM potency and he went up to LM7 before he was better.
- He was given his DTHP/HIB Injections at 2,3 & 4 months.
- Just after christmas 05 he developed his first chest infection
- He has had 4 since and 4 lots of antibiotics! Which I am not happy about!
- He is quite a chilled out boy, likes to watch the world go buy, although
doesnt laugh very much unless something really amuses him! He seems quite
shy, and cheeky with his smiles, covering his face and turning away when
someone smiles at him, although he is smilin himself!
- He is a very large baby, He has rings of fat like you'd never believe! He has mid dark hair, blue eyes and fair skin which is
sensitive and has developed eczema, mainly on buttocks, and legs and hands. especially after a bath, even though we dont use anything apart
from aqueous cream.
- He sleeps really well at night, from 7 til 6 and now goes to sleep on his
own, although he gets really angry when tired, rubbing his eyes, turning his
head and kicking his legs and arms about, and takes quite a while to settle.
- He does like to be carried about, but will also stay quite happily
on his own playing, apart from when he gets into an akward postition - hes trying to crawl!He loves to be on his feet, and is
definatley ready to be on the move. He never really cries just moans because he cant move!
- He has been teething from 10 weeks although he has only just got his first few teeth and 4 in one go! and really strange ones at that! Not in the normal order!
- He loves his food, and w will eath anything given to him apart from fruits that are sour!
- I had eczema and asthma when I was younger and
am allergic to anything with fur, pollen, dust etc ... but I have no food
allergies.
- He poos every other day, and they are always differnt, alternating from hard to soft then really quite watery.
- He seems to be quite chesty and rattly a lot, with a permanent frog in his
throat. He has had lots coughs and colds and conjunctivitus
- He always seems to cough at night or when he's asleep.
- He is quite a sweaty little guy and always feels quite warm, and I dont like
wrapping him up too much cos of this! He seems to get watery eyes a lot
too!
- The infections start off with a cough a night, he seems to settle after midnight but starts again early morning - he is worse when the heating is on, and I have to leave his window open at night.
- He has frequent runny nose, which soon turns to green and then the coughin starts.
- When he gets these colds he always develops conjunctivitis, which he has at the moment which is really bright green/yellow! His eyes are also blood shot and puffy eyelids and under eyes.

Is there anything else you need to know?
Cheers for this!

Dear Shell,

Do not Sulphur will take care of everything. Go ahead.

Dr.Dinesh Sharma

Thanks for that - just one quick question. He has gone really down hill today - with really high temp, chesty cough, runny nose, constantly moaning, burning hot etc ... I have been giving him belladona for his temp. Shall I stop the belladona and give him the sulphur? Will the belladona I have been giving him interfere with the sulphur?

Cheers
Shell

Dear Shell,

As you told me current condition I advise you to take care of this first.Continue with Bell.
Or consult your local Physician.

Then come to me.

Dr.Dinesh Sharma

Hiya

He is much better today. The temperature has gone, he just has really bad chest and cough, and his eyes are still a bit sticky. Shall I go ahead with the Sulphur now? I just want the cough to go away!

Cheers

Dear Shell,

Its good he is fine now.I think you should wait for one day.And see any fever is there.

If no then go ahead with Sulphur.

Dr.Dinesh Sharma

Dr Dinesh

I have not yet given him the sulphur - I am unsure of what to do.

At the moment, he is very congested with rattly chest and very bad chest cough which wakes him from sleep, and is very wheezy. His eczema is also very bad at the moment. Will the Sulphur relieve these symptoms? As this is what he is like everytime he gets the cough/cold thing as said in the case study I posted of him. Or do I need to treat the illness and then give him the sulphur once better to stop re-occurance?

regards
Shell

Dear Dr Dinesh

I gave Elliot the one dose of Sulphur 30c 5 days ago. There has been no improvement to his chest problems etc ... but his conjunctivitis has cleared. I will be repeating the dose today. What do I do next?

Dear Shell,

Do not worry.Sulphur will take care of him.It will take time to clear all complaints.Repeat one dose of Sulohur and then let me know reults.

Dr.Dinesh Sharma

Hiya

I gave Elliot the 2nd Dose of Sulphur - I must admit his eczema has cleared up! But he still has coughin at night? He is a lot better than he as though. Do I need to give another dose?

Will his symptoms re-occur in the future? And if so, Do I give the Sulphur again when they do?

Regards
And thanks so much for your time and help

Dear Shell,

Is there any change in night cough?
Any relief in that?

And any other change?

Dr.Dinesh Sharma
 
drdineshsharma last decade
Yes there has been changes. His eczema has cleared considerably from his skin. His night coughin is so much better, but he is still rather rattly and wheezy. He is sleeping most of the night without coughin.

Was wondering if maybe one more dose might totally clear things up?

Thanks again
