Chronic Osteomyelitis

My child 6 years old has an accident a year ago and gone through one surgery immediately after injury(calcaneum) and another in febrauary this year to clear the infection sustained in bone,a part of heel bone was also removed as it was infected.The biopsy report shown 'Chronic Osteomyelitis'.
After the second surgery, the calcenium area again became sore now,sinus is disharged from two small openings,the orthopaedics suggested to repeat the surgery.
Is surgery unavoidable?Ortho also said that surgery is not cure for this chronic condition,it may again recur any time.
So, we are extremely worried aabout his situation. Please give your advise,any remedy is there in homeo for this problem

Please give him three doses of arnica 30c on the first day at a gap of 4 hours. On second day onwards the treatment suggested above should be started. The homeo restrictions should also be followed on the first day.

After using the remedies improvement is seen,swelling is reduced,pus formation reduced,but the stiches which were used for surgery when injury occured are now visible from wounds.We have no idea why the stiches are not dissolved even after 1 year.
So please advise what action needs to be taken?Do the stiches are removed automatically or any surgery is needed to remove them?

May i know which remedies have you given to child

i suggested
day 1
Please give him three doses of arnica 30c on the first day at a gap of 4 hours.
day 2-6
Hekla Lava 3x
2 tablets four times a day at a gap of 4 hours
if after 5 days no improvement then
Gun Powder 3x

i would like to know whether you got relief with hekla lava or you have to use gun powder also.

You are saying that the stiches are not dissolved even after 1 year. Are you sure that you are talking about the stiches or the scars. You are in contact with your orthopaedic surgeon. Whether you have not raised this issue of stiches with him earlier.

Please clarify the above matters so that further treatment can be suggested.

By the way, are you in India?

Yes I am talking about stiches, how to get rid of them.
Ortho said earlier that they were dissolvable, but they are slowly coming out now.

Please reply my first question. Which homeo remedies you have given to the child.

♡ kadwa last decade

We have used each set 3 days:
Rhus Tox 200
Calc-phos 6C

Symphytem 30
Silicia 6X

This is a good combination and can be continued until the improvement comes to an halt. Silicia can help to get rid of stiches.

Symphytum 30
Silicia 6X

You may come here whenever you want.
