8yrs son gets throat,ear infection monthly since childhood

Hi all

My son whose 8yrs now, has been getting throat and ear infections almost since childhood. He has taken lots of antibiotics. Almost once in 45 days and sometimes even earlier, he gets an infection, the temperature goes upto 105 almost every time. Then we have no choice but to give antibiotics which take 72hrs to control his temperature. When he was with in two years, he used to take antibiotcs as well as often got sick because of dirohea etc. he does not take tap water, we give him only mineral or well filtered water. He talks about pain in ear when having ear infection. usually seem to start with left ear. When throat he gets a dry cough. I am also asthmatic and have eczema too, so doctors say he got this from me in another form. i tried different homeopaths but it did not work but in once case, the practitione gave his own made combinations...the bottles showed combinations of various remedies, which had somewhat seemed to given a good effect. after some time i left it and he is again the same. when he has high fever, he is given brufen too. someitmes even this does not control. I do sponging which he doesnt allow when temperature is rising as he feels cold. when in high fever he is dull but as the temperature comes down, he is very active.
Please anyone guide me here as i donot want him to continue with antibiotics anymore.
Regards
Lu

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
he is on high temperature now. please also let me know if there is any remedy to control it now. I remeber quite sometime back one homeopath had told me to give balladona hourly till temperature comes down but this had not worked. i talked to his doctor on phone now and he told me not start antibiotic now as this could also be viral. he told me to give me brufen for two days to see if this settles itself. besides he just finished his last antibiotic course 12 days back.

Asthma and eczema indicate that the immune system is depleted .
Your son has hereditary conditions that make him liable to the problems he has . Antibiotics DEPRESS the immune system so the doctor is right it would be unwise to continue to use them.
One would need more information to suggest a remedy.
In what position did he sleep as a baby . When born did he have a bluey tint to the whites of the eyes . Does he have any moles , warts , birthmarks . Does he sleep well for a long time at night.
Is he restless , liking travel. Does he have a pointy or square chin. Is he full of vague fears.
With the right miasmatic treatment he should be ok.

I know you think you gave some lengthy symptoms, but take your letter and sit with it and add to each thought that comes to you about your son as an individual.

No more about the antibiotics as we understand.

Give as much as possible about preferences and personality. Eating habits, etc.

You see, you are used to NOT saying these things to a medical doctor, now say all the things you do not say to them.

Please begin a new paragraph every few sentences so we can read it. A run-on paragraph is very difficult to read.

Dear Paskey and Sabra,

thanks for contributing. i will try to provide details as much as i can.Just to let you know that his fever is still going up and down to 103+ and now started with shivering. I discussed with his doctor and he said we have no choice but start an antibiotic now, infact he wanted me to wait but i cannot take his high fevers which goes to 105. he is also talking about pain from ear towards throat.

As far as i remember, he used to sleep either side ways, faced up or down. even now he uses all the three positions.right now he is sleeping side ways left.

i think he has mole like think on the whites of one of the eyes. he is alseep now but i will check it again. no other prominent moles, borthmarks.

he sleeps well at night and also takes nap in noon. he is a restless child. likes to play games with physical involvement. he has a flat chin.

eaiting habits...he has not been fond of eating much since childhood. mother used to scold , shout a lot when he did not eat as a child. even when he was not a year old. he is skinny. 24 kgs, ok height. now he likes to eat fast food stuff like pizzas and burgers, nuggets. or spicy stuff from good outlets. usually he doesnt like what is cooked at home.and at homes takes too much time to eat. he takes milk twice daily.

he is good at studies. is intelligent. i see a good IQ. but is not responsible. I have to sit with him to make him study.

he is the only child. he is friendly but is also selective towards friends. sometimes would share all his toys and at times none. depends on with whom he is sharing. likes to play alot with small cars. he spreads blocks to make airports, shopping plazas etc. is very good at computer too. he started schooling at the age of 2+4

he is at times maltreated by mother because of her having a personalty disorder as posted earlier. is not allowed to play joyfully, like spreadign blocks in his room. its not so always but when she has an attack, he is for sure given shock like things. like shouting badly or embarrassing him infront of other kids, or being beaten infront of others even for something he did not do so wrong.

when he cries when beaten even slightly, i see him giving a dry cough...which also exaggerates to thoat infection.

i also have seem to notice that he is usually not seen having infections during long school holidays. though i dont see him trying to avoid school as he enjoys it now.

he has become a stubborn child too. sometimes would not listen until slapped. mother has been shouting a lot, that he would take it normal and probably being beaten as an action to stop. i also see him being egoestic.

he has very loving nature. he feels very good with me. i try to balance her mothers attitude.

High rate of tissue turnover , rapid metabolism. He NEEDS fast foods, donuts ,cream anything to slow the metabolism down. Some people actually need fast foods.
Part of the problem is the mother and there's little I assume that can be done about that.
Is there any eczema or TB in the family background[or cancer]?.
Is he blonde and pale. Does he prefer cold drinks. Is there any ginger/auburn hair .
You really need to stay away from antibiotics - they will worsen the condition in the long run and harm health.

Hi Lu, this is one of those cases when I suggest giving the homeopathic remedy even if you are giving the antibotics.

BELLADONNA 30X. (stay with lower potency) Give every two hours during the day and a dose when awakens at night, for two days and then continue every morning and night while there is fever and until after the infection seems easing off...UNLESS, there is a change you need to tell us about. We will be watching the post.

If there are changes, let us know and then we will be able to tell if to continue or change or add something.

There are so many remedies to choose from for children, we need to have very detailed symptoms like:
Which side is worse? middle?
Sore throat? how, where, does the neck hurt, where?
Head symptoms, eyes.
Feelings like, anger, fear, sad?
Body pains? Stomach?


Give your wife a combo of Chamomilla and Stramonium. Put it in her drinking water if she refuses to take it.

She sounds bi-polar, tell us more about her. She needs to behave herself. There is a very simple movement you can do with your hands while she watches to calm her. It is a little hard to explain without being there. If you want I will try.

Dear Passkey, Sabra and Kuldeep.

Thankyou all for your replies.

Today I took him to his doctor. his right gland is swollen. doctor said its throat infection and then had to start antibiotic. I know i have to get him rid of using antibiotics any further, but i get helpless when his temperature rises high.

Doctor also took his allergy test, the report will come. when it was taken 3yrs back, his Ige (allergy level) was high for which he gave antiallergy to be taken for some time. His blood is O positive like mother and mine is B+. He was born via C-section.

He has no fears at all. Likes to enjoy at sea side, swimming though we dont take him so often but whenever taken, he doesnt wanna leave.

Passkey : he does take donuts fast foos stuff like pizzas and nuggets. There is no history of TB/cancer in family but I do have eczema/asthms since birth and my mother died becasue of rheumotoid arthiritis. he prefers cold drinks, but we try to avoid as much possible or give him warm soft drinks only and usually white. He is pale.

Kuldeep : The severity now is on the right. he told me initially it is left but now says more on right which is physically seen. gland is swollen. but says left is also in pain but lesser than right.

Sabra : ok i will start balladona 30X. I will keep you updated.
right now the right side is worse. physically swollen gland. tells pain when touched externally. he doesnt say the kneck hurts now while eating but he used to.when in high fever, his way of talking tells he has temperature. is talking about headache due to weakness.
he doesnt wanna eat at all when sick. he doesnt have any fears at all. yesterday night in the middle of night he told me he feels scared, i said what happened , did u see a dream. he said , he saw bombs all over. Then i told him this is becasue you saw terminator movies last night. he repeatedly watches Terminator-2, 3 movies.

he do feels lonely being the only child. likes to call someone to play with or go somewhere to a friends place.
Not much body pains. Slight stomach pain now.
Does seem weak now because of continuous high fever.

I have got wife on ripserdal drops which are being given told it is homeopathic. She trust homeo as they dont have side effects. I lost hopes from homeopathy in her case as i tried different remedies for 2yrs.

Should i give combo daily. single drop. what potency.

Yes I would like you take her case. can start on with my post on her.

Thank you all for your replies. I really appreciate.

Regards

Lu, antiallergy shots are REALLY not good for the body. It may seem good for the allergy, but it suppresses big time and this may be why he keeps repeating things.

If you continue with homeopathy this suppression will relieve itself eventually. Homeopathy is good with allergies. (aside from avoiding allergy foods)

"Some" allopathic stuff do not "show" suppression or side effects, this does not always mean it is homeopathy.

It may be a good idea to read Alfred Vogels Book "Nature Doctor" Part Two . Dealing with fever and its function for the benefit of the body.
It starts
" If only everyone realised that a fever is nature's alarm bell and actually a defense against harnful invaders, we would allow nature to take its course and give it our full support. etc...."
"In fact we will understand that a fever is in a manner of speaking an accelerated burning up process . Therefore we must keep the excreatory organs open , just as a fire needs good circulation. The metabolic wastes must not be allowed to accumulate in the body, but must leave it in the same way that the ashes must be cleaned from a grate . Good bowel function is essential for this as is the adequate workings of the kidneys and the skin. Give due consideration to these three factors factors and a fever will have hardly any damaging consequences".
I have great respect for Nature and Alfred Vogel..

Dear Sabra and Passkey

Thankyou. I will try to get nature doctor. i know i have to get him off allopathic stuff but this is only possible once I find the right homeo remedy for him.

His fever is still up an down to 103. when temp going up, he feels cold, his feet are cold during this time and upper body burning. i give him calpol or brufen to control. when his temperature stops rising, his feet are warm and then feels hot and wants the fan to run.
in normal, he feels hot more than us when asleep. usually wants to take his shirt off though for us the temperature is quite normal.
i am giving him balladona 30x as and when possible but not really hourly.
sabra u did not inform about combo potency for wife.

hope to find a matching remedy for him soon.

Regards to all

Sorry Lu, I am totally unfamilar with "ripserdal."

If you are in another country it may be a renaming. Many times I find this.

Chamomilla is for intense anger and uncooperative, can't be soothed. A children's remedy. Stramonium is for fears. She seems a real combination of the two.

Anger and impatience, and fear of losing control.

Your new report on son points to a good remedy that is used for those that have trouble recovering from illness.

Let's see how the Belladonna is working. I will study some more.

Keep posting, just keep talking about what you see happening.

Dear Sabra, Riperdal is an anti psychotic alopathic medicine. www.risperdal.com

son is still having fever going uo and down. i am still giving balladona when i am home but not hourly. he feels real hot and askes for the fan to be switched on whenever the fever stops rising further. specially in the middle of night. though the weather is quite pleasant now. I live in pakistan.

he goes down to play in the evening when his temp is down but comes up when he feels it is rising and feeling cold. then it rises to 103. today is 3rd day of antibiotic and his temperature should not come again if the medicine is correct. i tell this from previous experience. still not going to school. tries to keep himself busy playing something...like painting or playing with blocks...likes to do some constructive work.
his mom called me now in office and they were both having arguments. even the mom at this stage cannot take son's egoestic behaviour though she knows he his sick and antibiotics do give such side effects. i tried to explain to son to listen to mom but he was saying no..
sabra u did not tell about potency and dosage of chamomilla and stramonium for wife.
i remember son was given chamomilla when he was showing an aggresive behaviour in school...this was when his school was suddenly changed because of wifes trouble with previous school...so we got complaints from new school that he is not adjusting ..doing things like...hitting his hand with pointed pencils...or fighting with children or teacher etc. then chamomilla was given and it showed response.

thankyou sabra

What does your son's egoestic behavior look like? What does he do?

The worse thing that happens to small children is when there is a unstable parent in their presence, they tend to "copy" this same behavior. He could be perfectly normal and become abnormal acting because of watching his mother and hearing her accusations.

The son sounds like he it trying to not be sucked into Mom's broad complaints by refusing to comply. He may be disturbed OR he may be acting out his discomfort.

You seem to be the only one that is a steady guide in the family. Leaving the son with the mother is not sounding safe for him and he is acting out. He cannot grow up normal in this type of environment.

High potencies of Cham and Strom. Both in 1M. Try and see. Place one dose each in her drinking water and each sip is a dose.

Is your wife actually mentally ill or a, spoiled by her family person, that needs "retraining?"

Please keep posting.

Place son's Belladonna in a bottle of drinking water and no one will know at school that he has meds. And he will get more doses.

Get some CARBO VEG as this is a remedy for one that hasn't recovered from old illnesses. Also the major factor is that they love to be fanned. You could use this with the Belladonna. You case here is very convoluted. So much to consider.

Dear Sabra,

Hi! By egoestic i mean if he has done something wrong, he would not say sorry unless scolded. even would not say to mom till she would get mad. this troubles as both behave the same in such cases. she would show her ego even for son.

if he wants do something or buy any toy, he would cry and behave badly till done. if ignored for a while then he is ok but not immediatley. mom would even slap him in public if he behaves such outside. and he feels very bad when done so infront of others.

maybe u r right he tries to copy mom but he could also be copying me.

he also deosnt like it if told he is not good in something in front of others. when playing a game with children of his own age group, usually in the family, he wants to come first...if not then misbehaves...but this is not true in the case with his school friends.

should i put one drop balladona 30 c daily in his school drinking water daily.

yesterday again we went to see the doctor. he showed to me that his right tonsil is still infected, even i could see it visibly and the left one is lesser. he had fever in the middle of night again.

his IgE serum test showed that serum level is high, that is he is still less immune to allergies.

i will get cham and strom in 1M both for wife. but i would also be continuing with allopathic doctor for the time being in her case.

I believe wife got spoiled by her family person. she is from divorced parents. the details you can read on from my post on her. but her mom is also behaving like this now and her sister told me that her father was also same at times. so am really not sure, but am defintely sure about the troubles she went thru since child.

carbo veg...ok i will get it too....what potency??

thankyou sabra for your continued contribution. God bless you. you spend your time for others...do also take good care of your health..DONT BREAK YOUR ANKLE AGAIN!!!! we all need you here,

Regards

Lu

About 3 drops in his water. When water gets low, only add more water. Not necessary for more remedy. (unless he drinks it all. caution to save some to refill) (if you have to start over in the bottle it is ok, just good if done by adding water) Carbo Veg in lower dosage. 1C or less. X is less.

Keep track as usual so we will know if a change away from Belladonna is called for.
----------------------

I am reading carefully as one can, and am thinking if this family (whole family and parents) are very easily hurt and take things personally? Needing to show disaproval seems in the reading. Tell me if I am wrong.

I never made my sons apologise but only told them they better not do it again. This told them exactly where I stood and where they better stand. It was not necessary for an apology because they were CHILDREN, not adults.

Children are learning and do not know how to make good choices or please adults.

It sounds as if there is a bumping of heads on who will be in control. He has been put into an adult emotion he is too young for. He is forced to rebel.

It sounds like the old thing some people do..."If you love me, you will do what I want." So then love has conditions. This is false and love should NEVER have conditions.

Slaping a child publicly in the face will scar him for life. Better to take him into a bathroom privately and give him a choice, behave or get punished.

Slaping publicly will cause MORE of the seemingly atagonistic attitude within the family. It becomes handed down to the extreme. One wonders how this child will treat his wife or his own child. (If mothers are mean-spirited, then the son will treat his wife badly)

You see, it is not the slap, it is humiliation. No child (or person) should be humilated like this. This is the worst type of abuse. It is similar to husbands beating wives and wives ridiculing their husbands in public.

It is a type of public shame. No child can grow up lovingly under these conditions. They only learn anger that turns into hate.

If one wishes to be respected, one must show respect first. This child does not know about respect. He may know the word, but he does not know the feelings.

I am not trying to say this is so. I am trying to see if I am reading what you have written correctly. Please advise me if I am mistaken.

And I apologise if I have offended in my desire to help the situation.

Blessings, Sabra

Hi Lu
I have studied the history of your son from very begining. He has been mistreated from day one particularly repeated antibiotics have greatly shaken his immune system resulting in continuous illness.
In the pervailing conditions the continuing temprature is alarming and should be arrested together with the earach and tonsilitis. I suggest to administer him the Hydrastis 200c one dose in the morning and Chamomilla 30c 2 hourly for two days.
After the current acute condition is arrested, the child will need some deep acting remedies to avert the repetition of simtums.

As regards your wife, some history of her ailments is required. Whether she is bad tampered since her childhood. Did she had some complaints at puberty? What is her complexion? Her hair, skin, tendency to weep, if weeps? at what tiem or occassion? Her age, menstural conditions, any abortions, and under what circumstances, How may children, live or dead? Her likings and dislikings, behaviour to loved ones and neighbours. Her attitude, jealousy & love ?

Dear Sabra and Nadeem

Taking things personally is true in wife's case. yes and she would hate to get a disapproval. she would never take the blame on herself. even if say she suddenly trips while walking because of a stone on the way, she would not take the blame that she didnt watch while walking and fault is stone's.

she loves replies in affirmative. if someone has to say a no, then she is to be explained like a child and not to be said a direct no.

sabra i truly agree with your observation and thats why i am trying to get wife cured either way.

son's fever is better now.

thankyou for your contribution mr. nadeem as well. you would be able to get some details in my other post, " psychotic problem" regarding wife. let me know if you need more.

thansk

Lu.

Sabra will keep you updated.

Sorry I am late here

Last time I asked

Can you tell, if the severity of infection is in Right or in left side? Or where the infections starts first?

Right OR left OR Simultaneously on both sides.

This could be the key to Rebecca.


Your Answer is:

Kuldeep : The severity now is on the right. he told me initially it is left but now says more on right which is physically seen. gland is swollen. but says left is also in pain but lesser than right.


I want to be sure again. Try to think or recollect where the problem starts usually.

And also try to recollect or ask him if alwasy problem starts at left and then gets severe on the right.

I am just double checking it.
 
kuldeep last decade
Hello inneed

This is a serious reply. I didn't come back after refering books etc. This is from my experience.

If symptoms are usually worse at right side:
You need
Mercurius Iodat. Flavus 3x

If symptoms are worse left side you need
Mercurius Iodat. Ruber 3X

It will be best if you have get both medicines. But use only one based upon the symptoms.

If all goes well you son will never have this kind of problem again.
 
kuldeep last decade
Kuldeep is correct on the workings of M Flav and M Ruber, yet I feel a little more time is necessary to watch for new symptoms.

The Belladonns is a general to fight the fever because there are not sufficient symptoms in a well state to choose another as yet.

Keep posting any new or different or even "OLD" symptoms.
