Hi Magicure,

I have given Jasper five dozings of kali bi. Tomorrow morning I'll give the sixth doze.

He blows his nose less, the discharge is more mixture of clear and yellow.

I gave hime in April Kali bic 30 during three days. Then the exact same happened: first better, after few days backwards.
The same happened last week after two days dosings.

How do we continue?
(Tomorrow after the last doze it is saturday, I'll be out. The pharmacies are closed on sunday, If I don't have the next remedy at home I'll be able to get it earliest on monday or tuesday.)

Hi again,

I forgot to describe other symptoms: nothing else has changed except the discharge.

It is weird he is not thirsty. Today it was 25 degrees and he didn't drink anything at school.

Hi Maria,

After he completes the 6 doses of Kali bich, give him Pulsatilla 200 at bedtime, for 3 consecutive nights.

Post if there is any change or aggravation in symptoms after starting Pulsatilla.

Take care...

Hi Magicure,

I didn't find Puls 200 x at the pharmacy on saturday. I started giving him Puls 30 k.

Tomorrow, monday afternoon, I try to find the greater potency.

So far no changes on him.

Hi Maria,

Before you buy Pulsatilla 200, what are the current symptoms? just thin less yellow coryza? no improvement/ aggravation after pulsatilla 30?
Please describe his symptoms.

Hi Magicure,

I have given Jasper three dozes Pulsatilla 30 (the third one just moment ago, on monday morning).

He blows his nose less: before when he was blowing, it was endless. Now there is an end to the amount of the discharge. That is the good effect of Pulsatilla, I think.

I feel kali bi didn't work as well as last time. It did work to some degree though. The discharge is still yellow and greenish. It is a mixture of thin and clear discharge and thick and yellow.

I don't know if he would be catching a cold at the same time. I don't know it yet, but I have a sore throat and Julius was complainig the same yesterday. Julius also had his nose running.

Hi Maria,

For Jasper: continue with Pulsatilla. How is his thirst now?

For you/ Julius, if you feel that you are going to catch cold, and if you have the early symptoms of it, Aconite might help.

Take care...

Hi Magicure,

Can I continue with Pulsatilla 30, or is it better to buy 200?

It is really hot here, I have told him to drink a lot. Now it is schoolday, I'll see in a couple of hours if he has been thirsty.

I gave aconitum for Julius yesterday. He was also feeling quite sick yesterday, didn't ate at all, but today he was back to normal.

I took it two days ago, but it didn't help much.
I started Hepar Sulfur 30, so far taken it for four times (because I had pressure on ear, the right side as my throat was sore on the same side). Now my throat is not that sore, but it is sore outside, when I push it (is it swollen tonsillis?). Otherwise I am ok.

Hi Magicure,

I have given Jasper 5 dozes of Pulsatilla 30. Today is the third day.

This morning he had no need to blow his nose. I did ask it though to see what he has in there: there came out just a little bit. Most of it was clear, also a bit of thick and yellow.
He was drinking more yesterday. But it was really hot.

Do you have any other advice?

I have learned something really important about homeopathy during this coryza. I did give him myself both kali bi and Pulsatilla. But it didn't help them. Is it really a question of timing?

Julius has been sleep has been changing. Sometimes better, sometimes worse. Waking up between 1-3 times a night.
How long is calcarea suppose to act?

Maria
 
Maria&boys last decade
Hi Maria,

You can give one more dose of Pulsatilla to Jasper, I think that should clear up the case. If atall he needs, you can give another dose, and stop.

Yes, it is about timing, about potency, and repetition. remedy relationships are also important.. So when we decide about the required remedy , we are just half way through!

About Julius: We cant really say for how long Calcarea acts in general, because it depends on many many factors and it changes from one individual to other.
So, we just have to keep a watch on symptoms, when there is continued aggravation/return of old symptoms, time to intervene! ups and downs are common..

Take care...

Hi Magicure,

Hope the coryza will finally be over.

I have two other questions concerning Jasper:
About his hot temper. I gave Causticum once (two weeks ago or so). He has been calmer after that. Somehow he is willing to listen, instead of getting mad.

I have a feeling Causticum is not the perfect remedy for him, even though it works. Because I don't think the constitutional side fits him well. The only things that fit Causticum are:
- he gets furious because he thinks the situation is not fair
- he has grief behind him because our winter has been tuff
- he is all the time at move.

I guess I have to keep on Causticum as long as it works to some extent.
But could you suggest other remedies I'd better read about?
He has been getting tuffer month after month; disobediant, when furious starts destroying, doesn't want to make compromises, a small terrorist.

The second thing: some stone fell on his finger at school. The nail is black and a bit swollen. He says it doesn't hurt unless you push it. It looks bad, but not as bad as I'd make an appointment with a doctor.
I keep desinfecting it and checking and pushing it twice a day. Have you got any suggestions what I should do except wait?

Hi Magicure,

Oh no - Jasper was blowing his nose several times this morning. I gave Pulsatilla last night.

The discharge is a mixture of clear and yellow and thicky.

How is this possible?

Maria
 
Maria&boys last decade
Hi Maria,

Need more specific symptoms (Now you know what all symptoms you have to describe for an acute prescription)

Thirst?
Coating on tongue?
Sneezing?
better and worse by? ( open air/ warm bath...)
bowel movements?
other complaints?

I would be checking this thread for your response, we shall decide after that.

You can give Pulsatilla right now, He might need Hepar sulph, or a higher potency of Pulsatilla.

Please let me know,

Take care...
 
magicure last decade
Hi Magicure,

Specific symptoms:
-The thirst is normal, no more, no less.
-He is at sleep at the moment, I can't check his tongue.
-No sneezing, no sore throat like I have.
-Worse same way as before: right in the morning. Not as worse that he should be blowing his nose during night. There is thick yellow discharge and clear together. The clear discharge is running from the nose during the day. The yellow one comes when blowing the nose hard.
-His stomach is looser than normal.
-Not much appetite (but it is also hot).

There was this fully healthy day on after taking Pulsatilla 2 days. It just started again the next morning.

At home I have Hepar sulfur 30 and Pulsatilla 1 M (that is 8 years old).

Hi Maria,

Give him Hepar sulph 30, 4-5 pills on clean tongue two times a day, for 2 days , and report back.

take care...
 
magicure last decade

Maria&boys last decade
Hi Magicure,

I just realízed it is Friday and I guess you are not around at weekends. That is why I already write you.

I have given Jasper Hepar Sulphur 30 twice; last night and this morning.
He did blow his nose this morning. It was thick and yellow, almost as much as day before. It came out a bit easier than before.
Now during daytime he has not been blowing. So it is slightly, not a whole deal, better.

Have you got any advice on this time?

I ask a lot of questions. You still haven't replied my previous questions I wrote you 21st of June. I'd appriciate if you had time to do that.
One more question: what do you do for living? Do you pracitce homeopathy or do you do something else? Just courious.

Maria
 
Maria&boys last decade
Hi Maria,

Continue with Hepar till Jasper continues to improve. If otherwise, please stop and post back. I would check this thread either on saturday or on sunday, and would reply.

To answer your question regarding my profession, I am a homoeopathic doctor ( BHMS), and I practice homoeopathy.

I think I have answered most of your questions, except for the "Causticum as constitutional for Jasper". I need to go through his entire case in order to answer that.

I shall do that in a couple of days and will get back to you.

Take care...
 
magicure last decade
Hi Magicure,

Jasper is still blowing his nose, but only twice a day, and there is less discharge and it is not that yellow nor thick anymore.

- Now the discharge is clear but like glue. There is some yellow "lines" in there. The amount of the discharge is not that huge as before. Now I would say the amount is "normal".
-The tongue has white coating.
-The thirst is maybe less than normal .
-The stool is back to normal.
- He has been complaining a little bit of his stomack, that is hurts when walking
- He did sneeze yesterday, but only once or twice
- I still can't answer these better/worse by - questions. Two things I know sure, these has been the same all these weeks: he has to blow his nose in the morning and for some reason he has to do it also every time we go into the car. So: maybe it is worse inside...

Unfortunatly I run out of Hepar Sulphur this morning. I couldn't find it in the pharmacies yesterday. Last night I gave him 2 pills and this morning I had only one pill left.
It is sunday morning now. I am able to give him a new doze earliest monday afternoon.

Waiting for your reply,

Maria

Hi Maria,

Lets wait till monday, then.

Just to keep you informed, in case you are running out of a homoeopathic remedy, save the last few pills ( even 1-2 will do) and dissolve those pills in a cup of water. You can use this (it has the same potency as the pills).

So, practically, you cant run out of a remedy!

Keep posting about Jasper, and how is Julius is doing? I think he is doing fine ( as you havent written about him in days...:-)

Take care...
 
magicure last decade
Hi Magicure,

About Jasper: I think the situation keeps on changing, all the time. Today, during the day, he was blowing his nose several times. Meaning there was a lot of yellowish discharge that was coming out easily.
I'll let you know more on monday.

I keep wondering about two things. First why is this coryza so difficult to cure?? Do you have an explanation?
The other thing is why you chose Hepar Sulphur for him? I never thought of that, rather Silicea.

About Julius: he keeps waking up 1-2 times a night. Not too bad. Sometimes there can be an awful night, fortunately not too many.

The problem is his skin. He has had excema on legs for several weeks now. I think it was Sulphur that made his skin very good. Because before Sulphur he never had so good skin. And now the skin is quite bad again. Red excema, itching, all around legs, spots.
Otherwise he is fine.

I keep in mind this dissolving of pills. And save a lot of money... If you add water to it, do you add it after every doze? Does it matter?

Maria

Hi Magicure,

I promised to mail on monday.

Today Jasper has not been blowing his nose at all. I just made him blow it (at 5 pm) to see what it looks like. It was clear.

Hmmm. I want to believe it is getting better, but... I wonder what is the situation tomorrow.

I already asked this in my last posting: but do you have a theory why this has been this complicated, for two and a half months?

Maria
 
Maria&boys last decade
Hi Maria,

Good that Jasper is better today.

There are several reasons for chronicity of symptoms. Maintaining cause, Lowered immunity, frequent exposures to cold/wet weather etc can cause lingering colds.

Homoeopathic point of view, incorrect choice of remedy/ potency/ frequency/ repetition can also result in delayed cure.

Your second question: Why I thought of Hepar. You tell me why you thought of Silica.

There are certain factors like characteristics of discharge, stage of cold, and partial relief from Pulsatilla which made me choose Hepar.

But, in homoeopathy, each case and each attack are so distinguished (even in same patient) that we cant deduct a "general line of treatment".

Anyways...thats it for now:-)

Take care...
 
magicure last decade
Hi Magicure,

There was more loose, dirty-yellowish discharge coming from the nose this morning. Sooo....?

I thought of Silicea earlier, because I read it is good for chronic stages. I have thought that Hepar is for acute stages.

Waiting to hear from you.
