Please help my son with Mononucleosis

Hello, I am wondering if someone might give me an idea of which remedy to try. My son is constitutionally sulphur/phos.

Two weeks ago he developed a throat virus and then a lump in his neck along with great fatigue and a temp of 101.

Mono was subsequently confirmed.
He has the following symptoms: incredibly painful throat, fatigue, chills that start late afternoon and then he gets hot at night and wakes up completely wet, even once imagining he had wet himself. Nausea and one vomiting incident each night, plugged ears, burning eyes, he says he is not drooling at night. No appetite, but taking fluids. A few days ago, his face was very swollen, but is normal now. Can someone help me? I'm stumped. His chief complaint is the throat pain. Thank You so very much. I appreciate all of you. PV

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
please give him BELADONNA 30C every 2 to 3 hours initially and then once in 6 hours till the symptoms subside fully.

Dear Mr. Rishimba,

Thank you so much. I only had 12c Belladonna, but I gave it to him, two doses and he is now comfortable and sleeping.

You are incredible and I am very inspired by your knowledge, and also your kindness. Thank You very very much. Do you think he will need mercurius or sulphur in a few days? Thank You.

Priscilla

meanwhile, please continue beladonna four hourly if these symptoms continue.

best wishes.

Dr Mr Rishimba,

Priscilla here. Thank you for your kind help in regards to my son. After giving him the Belladonna several times, I was able to get a 30c dose. Tonight for the first time, he noticed improvement after the remedy. However, in the past days he has had a clogged nostril and with gently blowing his nose, blood came out. Tonight, this happened but with both nostrils and more blood, dried and fresh, not alot, but it was concerning to us. Should we do anything different? Thank You in advance, doctor. Priscilla

dont worry, beladonna will cure this bleeding problem as well.

when you see a significant improvement in him, you can stop the remedy.

Dear Dr Mr Rishimba,

I just wanted to make sure that I properly thanked you for helping us. After much trouble, expense and medications with the normal conventional doctors, thanks to your advice, my son completely very quickly resolved the issue of mono. They actually wanted to send him out of state to disease control as he was so sick, and your recommendation of Belladonna 30c in frequent doses cured him in about 10 days. I very much appreciate the time you took for us and you kindness in our behalf. Bless you and Thank you so very much!
Priscilla

I too have had incredible healing with Belladonna for another ailment.

I want to mention that my niece did not have a homeopath nearby. She had to go to a regular doctor. Fortunately, she found one who gave her vitamin C injection and mono cleared in a weekend. So if you cannot get remedies or don't have access to homeopath, this is another avenue that might work. Pills won't work as you have to bypass the intestines as the levels of C needed to cure would cause extreme diarrhea.

Hi,

China works well in case of Mononucleosis. If you are suffering from it, start taking China 200 one dose ( 8-10 drops )daily.

Youe will feel the difference from the very first day.

My daughter (age 14) has symptoms of Mono (sore throat, fever for several days, muscle aches). Doctor rule out strep an she had the flu and had both flu shots late 2009. The results from blood work will take 3 days from today. Can she take one of the homeopathic remedies now (like beladonna or China Occ)? Are their any dangers to taken these type remedies if we are not sure of the actual illness??

Belladonna was suggested above as it was reported that the patient is suffering from 'incredibly painful throat'.
China will work if the patient has suffered from fluid losses as diarrhoea etc in the course of illness.

On the basis of the symptoms reported by you, it seems that Rhus Tox 200 should work.
Please give her three doses of Rhus Tox 200c at a gap of 4 hours for only one day (not daily). If there is no relief after 3 days please give her Bryonia 200c in the same manner.

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

There are no dangers of these medicines as these are indicated on the basis of her reported symptoms.

I have called many stores near us, and I can only get 30c or 30x for both Rhus Tox & Byronia. Is this acceptable? Should she take more or less pills? I can order online, but will take several days to get. Also, will this remedy be helpful for the fever? (about 102.4 since Saturday, today is Wednesday).Thank you so much for your help. We are most appreciative.

Also, we just got partial blood test results. Dr. said white count is not too high, and lymphocytes not really present. Dr. does not know, she says maybe not mono?? We don't have the results of the Epstein-Barr Virus test yet. I thought that this might be helpful for dosage and remedy. Thank you.

janozak last decade
please describe your son's mental nature and all the symptoms with modalities...that is, what makes it better and what makes it worse.

whats the age of your son, where does it sweat most, what does he like in food and what are his aversions.
 
rishimba last decade
Thanks for your speedy reply.
My son is 15 yrs old. He is generally easy-going, good natured, funny, adaptable, sometimes sensitive to criticism and worried what others think of him.
His favorite food is white rice and he generally prefers carbs over protein and salts over sweets.

All of his current symptoms are worsened with exertion. His headaches also worsen with standing. His nausea occurs after eating but he has a reduced appetite.
He feels somewhat better with warmth but is asking for cold drinks.
His sweating occurs at night and comes from all over his body. Thanks again for you help!
 
janozak last decade
please try PHOSPHORUS 200C some 5 doses, each dose 12 hours apart.

give the doses in empty stomach and no food or water one hour before or after.

I have been following this thread because my 14 year old daughter has mono. She is complaining of severe sore throat, congestion, headache and dizziness on standing. what remedy would be best for her symptoms? She is an intense child, argumentative and active. Thanks in advance for your help.
 
mamabear02 last decade
Please give her Nux Vomica 200c thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours for only one day (not daily) and see how that affects her in the next 2-3 days. If there is partial relief you may repeat three doses in the same way.
 
kadwa last decade
My daughter is quite ill with mono. She complains of dizziness, extreme sore throat, nausea after eating, plugged ear. Tried to gargle with hydrogen peroxide but made her vomit last night. Both hot and cold seem to help the throat a little. She is 20 and very sweet and just wants us to sit with her and comfort her.

Hello!
I have a 9 year old daugther with throat pain at swallowing, 2 days ago she had temp 39,2 C, headache, she vomited couple of times. Now the fever has gone, her throat is still very red and still aches when she drinks or eats. Lymphatic glands have enlarged. The doctor thought it might be mononucleosis or streptokok, she didn't take any tests.

Now my daugther has a rash on her skin around her neck and its itching.

Otherwise she is skinny and lean type, pale, active and willing to participate in everything new, sometimes whining takes over, cries easily when things won't go her way, but mostly happy and energetic.

Could you recommend what kind of homeopathic remedy I could use?

Thank you in advance,
Riina
