bad sinus infection........mom & son both
Hello everyone,Me & my son(4) have developed bad sinus infection. It all started with common cold due to snow here. Cold continued to become worse and now its turned into sinus infection today. Yesterday we were heavily congested could not even talk/breathe properly so I took ars alb 200c & gave him too. This has changed sysmptoms in both of us differently
My symptoms: Whole night I was blowing my nose. My whole face is hurting..under the cheek bones, temples, gums & because of gums teeth etc.. and I continue to blow my nose. The discharge is greenish.
My son : In the morning he could not open his eyes because there was sticky stuff around his eyes and it has dried out. After washing it properly with warm water its fine now. But he still has greenish discharge coming out from the ineer corner of his eyes. His eyes have become red. And he has started coughing too. Cough sound is like productive cough, but he doesn't know how to get it out so he just gulps everything. I asked him to blow his nose and some greenish discharge came out. But just the little.
Please let me know what to do further.
Thank you very much!

Hello Dr.,
I took kali sulp for 3 days, its the 4th day today. Thes symptoms nwo are....
I am still congested. I have been noticing that I get congested mostly at nights(before sleeping), so I have trouble sleeping. But when I get up in the morning, both the nostrills are mostly open and I see myself breathing normally. Also early morning I have a good amount of greenish descharge from my nose and throat. I have been coughing a little too. That too mostly when I am sleeping.
My sinus now does not hurt the whole face its just the nose now.(the nose bones). They always seem to be clogged.
Note: I think it would be good to let you know that normally around this time of the year(March & August), I get my allergies. I have been getting it from last 2 yrs. Last year during fall, I had consulted few docs here and taken Ars Alb. Which was a good help, but it still lasted almost 3 months after taking the medicine. So there is a possibility that sinus might be clearing up and allergies might be keeping me stuffy. Like last time I do not have any symptoms of allergies like itchy eyse and throat... but pollen count is high, so I am not sure.
Please let me know what to do next. I am still very stuffy.
Thanks a lot!

Hello Dallasmom,
Kali sulph is a very deep acting remedy and it make the mucus soft enough to expel easily.Let it work and now reduce the dosage,take it on alternate days.

Hello!
Have you ever used a netti pot? I use one a few times a week and my sinus problems are non existenet now. Even when I have a sinus infection this helps make the symptoms less severe and shorter. It is homeopathic and available online or in any health food store.
Get well!

Hi Pinkberree - I did try to use Neti pot last time I had allergies that lasted almost 6 mnths, but what I noticed was that made me more congested. And my mom said that it would be like that if I didn't use it correctly. So I am kind of scared to use it again. May be I should try once more.
Thanks for the advice though!

Hi Dr. Tahira,
I thought I would update you before I take my next dose. I have been taking Kali sulp. alternate days now. But I wanted to add that I am coughing badly from last 3-4 days. When I wrote my last email 4 days ago it was just a little cough but its worsening day by day. There are times that I constantly cough for 2 hrs. Specially at night from 10pm - 12 am. I have been mixing turmeric in honey and drinking before bed time, which helps me to sleep peroperly but I do get up sometime in the middle of the night coughing. This is not productive cough but the dry whooping kind of cough which you normally see in old ppl. It originates from chest but because its so hard my tummy hurts after coughing. Sometimes I even feel I might throw up.
I am not sure if this is side-effect of kali sulp but I also noticed that I get coughing with more than 2-3 days of usage with pulsatilla too. I have no clue if this is related or not but just my observation.
Also I having been observing that I have become very rude lately. Evryone & Everything seems to be irritating me, and in frustration I have been answering ppl rudely. This is not normal for me. I am in general very social person. I am opinionated but never too dominating. But lately I have been just opposite. And funny thing is ppl have indirectly started hinting me that I might have some 'hormonal' issues. I am not sure this is related at all but I read somewhere that homeopathy is not only about physical health but mental health as well, and in treating physical problem, your mental reactions help a lot. SO I thought I should atleast mention it.
I did not take kali sulp y'day so I am suppose to take it today. Should I go ahead with it? or you think I need something else for my cough? Please let me know. I really appreciate the response.
Thanks!

Hello Dr. Tahira,
A lot has changed in last 2 days. My cough has magically disappeared. I have no clue how. I mean I cough but its like just once or twice a day, which is nothing comapred to my coughing whole day. I am feeling fresh and active. I do still have congestion in my nose, but that has reduced too. I still have greenish discharge from my nose every morning but quantity has reduced. The new thing that I have noticed is my throat feels scratched. (chil gaya types)
I have not been taking any medicine from last 3 days. Please let me know, what do I need to do further to remove this congestion completely.
Thanks a lot!
