One yr old with bad cough
Greetings,My son has had a cold for a week now. It started as a little runny nose last Thursday (Thanksgiving 11/25). I gave him Cold Plus C (Hyland's) that morning.
It stopped in the afternoon but the next day (friday) he started coughing and became very fussy all day - that is unusual for him - happy baby. The cough came on strong from a little one to a very congested cough within a short time. Plus he had a hard time sleeping - unusual for him. So I started him on Hepar Sulph 30X acc. to the label (2 tabs every hour - which I did except during his nap, I did not wake him but began next dose after naps so he got 4 or 5 doses per day). I did this for 2 days and the cough didn't let up.
I stopped the Hepar Sulph on Sunday and gave him some OTC decongestant/cough supp (boo!)
He had his one year Dr. appt (MMR shots) on Monday (11/29) and the Dr said it was a very mild cold - she heard no congestion in lungs and very minor in nose. She felt the cough was due to post nasal drip. He coughed less Monday and Tuesday but still fussy so I gave him 2 chamomilla 30X (two Monday, two Tuesday).
Wednesday (12/1) he was back to being a happy baby and sleeping well but the cough is back to raspy and loose.
Would you recommend a particular remedy for his cough?
Any help would be much appreciated!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
You went ahead and had the vaccination even though the child was not feeling well???
Please read other posts on children. I have written the truth about the "shots."
As a young mother you must inform yourself about what is really going on in our country by the AMA and the pharmaceutical companies.
The corporations running the allopathic drugs in our country DO NOT CARE if it disables your child with autism or kills the child.
It is all about money!!! I know this. I have researched this. I have known for many years.
Please write more about details of child. Blessings, Sabra

Teething causes a lot of cold like problems. Fussy and unhappy. The chamomilla doseage that worked would indicate that you chose well at this time.

Ouch!
I discussed it with my doctor and I trusted her being I am a young mother (young no!, unknowledgeable, yes!). But I am here and trying to learn.
Thanks for your help.

Dear Tina, sorry that I was so curt. I have been writing on every posting about children and wish I could just do it in one big letter, but then no one would read it.
Sorry I made you feel "ouch." In my practice here, I get sharp sometimes. I get a group together and tell them the facts.
For instance, I had been treating a family for awhile and teaching homeopathy to them and had not seen them for a few months. I saw the father on the street and we began to talk. I asked how he and his family were. He began to tell me all the troubles and illnesses they were suffering. I said, "you must like being sick." He didn't hear me because of his long tale. I said it again twice more before he heard me. Then he took a good look at himself and understood what I was saying. Take responsibility for oneself.
It seems this past 10 days every child I have been reading about has reactions to the vaccinations that doctors force on them. Mothers are afraid.
I do not blame, I too, was there, but I was 24 when the drs began training me so I became independent very quickly. I am also firm enough to lie to allopathic drs to get what I wanted...diagnosis for my child until I knew for myself. I threw away the priscriptions.
I also have a group practice for mature women with grown children that somehow lost themselves, somewhere between the marriage date and the raising of the children. Now they do not know who they are anymore.
I want YOUNG women and mothers to become independent and know who they are as they go....without losing themselves in the process.
I have a feeling you understand. Please tell me how your child is? Blessings, Sabra

Are you aware that our government is planning an action to test every human for mental illness and plans to medicate any that they deem need it??
Mental illness is a very broad statement. It could be as small as mild reoccuring depression (say with women's menses for instance) to full fledged paranoia.
Now why would they do that?? It is to bring us to our knees and they will be in control of everything, no more constitution. S.

Thank you for your sensitivity. It's a difficult thing - kids don't come with an instruction manual (other than the Bible for character training).
When I was 2, a doctor from India "just so happened" to be in my small town and helped my Pediatrician save my life with Penicillin. You don't forget things like that (My parents would tell me the story every year...I was admitted on Christmas Eve...)! Considering the other children, if they lived, had severe consequences of the disease. I feel blessed - God used medicine to save my life and I had no repercussions (none that are obvious, anyway). Praise be to God!
That being drilled into my head as a youth, I grew up with a great trust in doctors. It has only been until recent, when I began working with herbs, that I started discovering the things you are referring to - they are in co-hoots together (drug companies, doctors, federal govmt et al). My pediatrician will somewhat support my using herbs and acidophilus so I feel fortunate in that. It's just that I am still so lacking in some of the most basic areas. I am really learning from this forum and I sign on every day to learn more.
I can't seem to find your posts on shots - I've searched on all I could think of. Could you offer some suggestions on where to find?
My son is still coughing. Yes the reason for fussiness was teething. No other symptoms but my concern is that his cough is not a dry cough so something is going on in his little body.
One other thing, we live in Houston where pollen and mold are rampant. When my son was born, he was congested (minor - no runny nose, you could just hear it a little when he breathed) and he was that way off and on for the first 6 months or so. I treated him with just small amounts of garlic and vit c so it wouldn't amount to anything more and he did fine with that.
Thank you for being willing to help and share the truth - even if it hurts!

Tina, get some Sulphur 200X and keep on hand
Give one dose as a "begin" the treatment in the morning.
ARSENICUM ALBUM 200X may be good for your son right now. Begin dose 24 hours after the one with sulphur. One dose each night before bed and ONLY if he awakens, another dose, but if not, one dose before bed for 3 nights.
Always stop when better. So, if the first shows good improvement, do not use the next two, etc.
Homeopathy is the least given in the smallest dose, stopping when better.
While I always suggest a potency (200X) I know they are not always available so I get the one that is. I then pray over the child to "match this remedy to the child's needs for perfect healing."
You are very fortunate that you are mature and really want to know how to help your child in spite of holding your "temper or hurt feelings" that would keep you from finding what you want to know. I am impressed and proud of you. Blessings, Sabra

Forgot, yep, I got penicillin too when I was young.
Allopathic meds are not what they used to be. Used to be carefully made etc. Now the search is for ANYthing that sells. Like the commercial for those that have to pee too often???? BUT, be sure not to take it if one has a urinary infection!!! Well, duh! Most people do not put two and two together.
The first thing I was taught. Watch the tv commercials and see how they change.
Used to be that a cough remedy, over the counter, would say "relieve." Now they say flat out..."Supress" the cough. Because we are so indoctrinated to not "think" we do not hear it. Sabra

Thank you.
The closest store has 30C of both - is that too much? Would it still be the same dosage (am i understanding that correctly...first day - one sulfur in the AM and nothing else that day, second day - no sulfur in the AM but one dose arsenicum in the PM, unless he awakens, then administer one more arsenicum? No more sulfur after that first dose?)
:)

Yes, you have it. I meant that no "more" doses in the night unless he awakens coughing. Doses 2 or 3 hours apart only if called for. No more Sulphur for now.
Least doses, least taken, stop when better. Blessing, Sabra

Is it against "protocol" to ask you to review my personal health problem(s)? Pankaj had been helping me but he's been out on bereavement for a week now and I'm a little nervous about if I am doing something wrong or need different remedy. If this is not acceptable, I will wait for Pankaj - that poor guy...

Good morning,
I purchased the sulphur (30c) yesterday but at the end of the day, I was wondering if I should even give it to him - he only coughed a few times yesterday.
But I went ahead and gave it to him this morning first thing. Oddly enough, he hasn't stopped coughing since. Could he be having a bad reaction from the sulphur? Could you please advise what I can do to help offset the sulphur, if that is what is happening.
Thanks much,
Tina

No, it is not a "bad" response. It shows that the Sulphur is releasing the problem, and it increases before subsiding. This happens from time to time, and it WILL subside. Sulphur often "sets" the body for treatment, and should be given in the am to begin.
Please do not be alarmed. Keep Posting.

Found it!
By the way, the reason that Sulphur was discovered and used is that back in Wild West times and before, When children or adults had bad coughs and pnumonia, those that knew, would set up a tent and "burn" bits of gun powder in a tin and the smoke carried enough sulphur to hopefully cure the patient. It was more successful than not.
No, your child does not have pnumonia. Blessings, Sabra

Thanks for your concern - much appreciated.
He is still coughing but not like this morning after the sulfur. Back to what it was yesterday - handful of times today. All else seems normal - he is happy all the time, sleeping very well. Just that dog-gone cough! Shall I proceed with the Arsenicum tomorrow night before bed?
:)
thanks,
Tina
p.s. forgot to say, my daughter (4 yo) woke up coughing - I gave her a sulfur this AM also - was that ok? Is the sulfur just to clear out any previous treatments to help their bodies begin "afresh" homeopathically? I looked up sulfur on this site but there are soooo many symptoms - it's hard to figure out why it would work!!! And the Arsenicum?

Sometimes it is really hard to keep up when several children and different families. Is this the first posting on the 4 yo daughter?
Is her cough really that similar? Her personality? Tummy? How does she look/act?
Sulphur ok, I would have in your position also. If son awakens in night, go ahead with a dose of Arsenicum Alb. 3 am would be a big deciding factor. This is when Ars A. children awaken. Blessings, Sabra

Would you please clarify..."go ahead with a dose of AA 3 AM???..." - does that mean 3 when he awakens or at 3 AM?
Also don't understand what is meant by last sentence. Sorry - I am sure it's because I am new here!

Yes, first posting of 4 yo - would you like me to start a new thread? (I can copy the text below into a new thread).
The similarity between her and son is that it is only a cough (sounds loose).
She has a bubbly personality, always moving and happy to help. Interesting that you should ask about tummy, yesterday (Sat), she mentioned that her tummy did not hurt today as it had done the day before (Friday). She has a strong pain tolerance and often doesn't tell me. She looks and acts normal. She coughs during the night but it doesn't seem to wake her up. Also, loose BMs as well but only 1 per day. I haven't given her anything but vit c and her multi vitamin in the last few days.
Thank you!

Hi Sabra,
I hope you are taking some time off for yourself.
:)
My son (1 yr old) - cough is worse today (Sun) - I can hear congestion sometimes when he breathes. Shall I proceed with arsenicum tonight before bed or is there a better/different remedy I should use?
:)
Thanks again!

I was indicating that another symptom of AA is waking up around 3 am.
Go ahead and begin AA now, one dose and another before bed. IF he awakens later, another dose. That would be 3. Then we watch for any changes, hopefully better.
Your daughter would benefit from CARBO VEG. If she is chilly type, and you have some HEPAR SULPH.
My first thought is the Carbo Veg.
No "new" post for daughter please. Blessings, Sabra

Use what you have and say "match this remedy to the needs of.........using only as much as needed."
Probably one or two doses 6 hours apart.
Children usually use lower potencies, but one can't always have this around. I use what I have. It has never failed in years.

Good morning,
Son was coughing much less yesterday so I didn't use the AA last night.
I'm off to the health store today, would you mind listing a few things I should have on hand for the kids (say, for colds, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation...) if there are standard ones that can be used? I jotted down the ones you listed for flu yesterday.
Thanks!
