Constant chronic Cough and Colds for my 6yr old
Hi ,My 6 yr old Daughter suffered through chronic cough and cold which Doctors in USA have raised their hands to diagnose the problem . She was healthy baby until 9mn . We went to India and after having one episode of cold and cough , she was falling sick every month , then when she is 18mn old she cought RSV ( Respiratory Syncitial Virus ) . After that till the age of 4 , she used to have episodes in winters just like RSV symptoms, cough resemble like Whooping Cough as soon as she wake up alarms us to run to the emergency and then worsts by late evening with the dry cough . COughs 30 per minute . Doesnt control with anything , but used to hold on for few hours with steroids epinephrine which available only in the hospitals . After the Doctors research Her lungs are always clear , no signs of pertusis and allergies except mild allergy to egg white but everytime her sinuses are full , so they removed her adenoids , but unfortunately as soon as that was removed the smae week she had the same symptoms but infact got worst with nonstop , so ran with her to India to seek medical help .Fortunately she just have one episode in India . There the allopathoc doctors prescribed her 3 varieites of antihistamines that includes Allegra , which will not be prescipbed her and doctor told me to continue for 6mn , but I was reluctant to use them as her body is filled with medications , so fortunately found one homeopathic doctor who prepares his remedies in his place , it looked liked they worked little though not all .He gave me Cough KT ( probably Kali And not sure what is T meant for ) , Euph for day and night cough , Ipecac , one for rapid cough and the other for the cough that controls with water . Unfortunately Indian Homeopathic doctors are very good they do service for free and some how they dont reveal the medications when they are mixing .
What's situation with her is , after we returned in May she got 2 episodes , he chronic coughs which used to reside for 4 days get alright in 2 days with Spongia 30X , HeparSulf 30X, Ferrum Phos 30X and all the remedies that I got from India .She got it 4 times from September till Now After the first snow fall and she played in the snow she got it again . Now her nose is always blocked and coughs intermittently after the first 2 days of severity and which can be cntrolled with the remedies that I bought from India . I am running out of them and I need to find something before she gets into worst phase that begins from mid december . She will always have episodes over the other , without one episode completely controls , the other kicks in .
WPuld appreciate if anyone let me know what to do and also how to build her immunity .
Thank You ,
Kavitha
