many madicines given to a 2 yr old _{Page 2 of 11}

The BC your doctor suggested is Baryta Carb and not bi-carb.It is one of the well known medicines for tonsils.

He selected one most prominent medicine each,for each of your child's problems,just like allopathic doctors.

What an irresponsible way to prescribe.I still seethe with anger whenever I see your post.

Murthy

Hi,
What is the current state?
is the baby sneezing? fever? digestive problems? colour/ consistancy of nasal discharge? coating on tongue?
breathing difficulty? irritability or any other mood changes?
Dont give Calc till this acute attack clears up.

Also , any change in appetite and thirst?
Is the nose blocked ONLY and night and is INVARIABLY runny during the whole day?

Murthy, because you have asked me things about my training, I feel free to mention a couple of things to you here.

We must always speak in the language of the student. So biochemic is not a word that creates calm in the uninformed. It could be alarming and sound allopathic.

We have no cause to believe tonsils or any other illness except a problem with the throat/nose/ears when we gather these symptoms on this post. We do not want mothers to run out and buy Baryta Carb for imagined tonsilitis. I have seldom used it for small children. More for older.

Then, homeopathy has always been called "remedies." We would like mothers to differentiate between remedies and medicine. "Medicine" may cause some to think of allopathic medicine.

While I do not dissagree with you, it is a matter of clearing the way for mothers and other people to give their symptoms in a concise way without being all confused with the language between what they have been raised with and their choice to try homeopathy for their families.

Hope I was clear for benefit to all. If not, questions? Blessings, Sabra

Hello Kumghi,
If there is Dry blocked nose only at night with fluent watery coryza during day , if irritability is marked and if the child is chilly , Nux is the best choice.
If the baby is aggravated in warm room and is better in open air,the above remedy covers this modality. A thick whitish coating on tongue confirms it.
For Belladonna , you almost always have EXTEREMELY HOT RED face and head in acute cases... your description doesnt say that.
What makes your baby fel better or worse?

May i ask a few questions?

What is bio-chemic?

When treating a child, is it ok to give them the little dissolvable homeopathic remedies (Hyland's)?
:)
Thank you!
Tina

Yes, I was talking about Nux Vomica. But it helps fluent watery coryza (during the day) and stuffed up nose at night. If your child hates to be covered, that goes against Nux.
If the picture has changed ( so rapidly) , may be his body is taking care of the cold on its own !!!
Thats a good sign...
If no much distress , I would prefer to wait and watch at this point , without any medicine.
If the symptoms aggravate or worsen , a remedy should definitely be given.
Moreover , the Tendency to catch colds needs to be taken care of.

No , I wont advice to give Calcarea till he improves ( Calcarea can help to cure the TENDENCY if that is the correct constitutional remedy of your son, and if it is , then it should not be given in an acute episode )
If complaints change / aggravate, inform immediately.

Whew, just reread the whole thing. Belladonna is a sicker child with fever and wants to be covered up even if hot.

CARBO VEG is good for less sick child that prefers to kick off covers and likes to be fanned.

Well we have hit a lot of remedies that seem good.

Follow your instincts and choose for your child as you are his healer. Sabra

Tenee this is for you.

Bio chemic is an off shoot of homeopathy,where there are twelve tissue salts,which are supposed to cure most of the common ailments.

However,now a days,they are commonly used as some sort of homeopathic vitamins,if I may say so,along with the homeopathic medicine.

Your second question regarding treating a child.

Depends on the age of the patient.If she is being breastfed,some recommend the mother to take the indicated remedy.

Otherwise,you can dissolve two pellts in about two to three tablespoons of water,and give it to the child.

Never give dry pellets to small childern,as there is a possibility of their entering the lungs,and causing complications.

Kumghi

Now you are more confused.Right??

Since your child is getting improved now,don't give any further medicines.

Come back,if he slips back.

Any way,keep posting.

Some mothers don't know anything about homeopathy,and it is difficult for them to follow their instincts,as they don't have any.

As far as possible,I prefer to indicate the precise course of action,rather than telling them a couple of medicines,and leaving it to them to choose.

All may not be capable of doing it.

Regards

Murthy

Murthy, another woman knows what I mean by instincts. They do not need to know homeopathy.

Try not to reprimand me in this instincts remark. S.

Sabra

If it sounded like reprimanding I am really sorry.I respect and try to learn from all the prescribers including you.

Yes,I may not understand what is a mother's instinct.I promise you I won't rise this issue again.

Murthy

What is the current state of your son ? Please update.

11-26-04 update --calc carb 200 given 4 pills once a morning...
11-28-04 update--confirmed have stopped repetition of calc carb--and cold like symptoms have ocured

the data above concerning return of cold or cold like symptomology is possible response/effect to calc carb---if cold as typical then and symptoms not too severe or intense then allow its course of action---but if too intense in truth--then nux-v 200c single dose will help settle -(only if truly is respopnse to calc-c)....but will also stall any good that calc-c would do....the severity is the key----allow no medicines if not too severe..

Hi,
If the discharge is not fluent , and is elastic stringy or difficult to blow, and no more watery , but has changed its colour to yellowish- whitish , then Kali bi can take care of the complaints.
Is the child suffering a lot?
If not , do not give any remedy.
If Calc has started acting, then the child should not catch cold immediately.
But that can be assessed later , once this acute episode is dealt with.
Regards...

if fine ,then no other remedies--allow natural vitality work to establish balance using only dietary restrictions and supplementations..---symptoms will dictate.remedy choice -as to when needed.
