Dear Mr. Niel,

Thank you for responding. Do you think the fore-skin shall retract on the 4th day ? Or we need to wait for some time and keep trying. We shall begin the Kali Phos 30c from Aug. 10.
 
skumat last decade
Dr. Niel, I am starting the KP30c today. Please advice on 'what to expect' in 3 days after the course is complete ? Regards & Thanks
 
skumat last decade
Please don't expect something miraculous to happen. Please keep patience and observe the change in symptoms. There are many remedies for phimosis in homeopathy. If there is absolutely no response to kali phos we will have to try other remedies.

Please give him three doses of mercurius sol 30c at a gap of 4 hours for 3 days and report back after 7 days.
One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.
Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.
Please read my posts on the breathing exercises called as Anulom Vilom Pranayam and Kapalbhati Pranayam by following the links given below. Please practise these pranayams regularly for 10-15 minutes preferably in a garden early in the morning.

Dear Dr. Kadwa,

Please note the following observation : There was no visible differnece, while retracting the foreskin, however during return to the Original position the skin formed a small Orifice (ring shaped), this was not happening earlier. Please advice, if you would like to change the course of action or would recommend the same Mercurius Sol. 30c ?

Also, please note that, although very effective breathing excercise would be difficult for a 6 year old boy.
 
skumat last decade
Please go ahead with Mercurius Sol. 30c. It is recommeded on the basis of totality of symptoms.

One can start doing breathing exercises at the age of 5. Children can do these exercises comfortably. Elder people find it diffucult to do.
 
kadwa last decade
I shall start Merc.Sol 30c in this week and report. You advised to give it 3 times at a gap of 4hrs. Is it OK, if 1st. dose is given at 7.30 am and the next at 2.00 pm (once the child is back from school) ? Balance dosages shall be given at a gap of 4rs.
 
skumat last decade
You can give doses at a gap of 3 hours like
2 pm
5 pm
8 pm

Today,

I saw a patient with pus filled pustules on the penis and I found him to have phimosis.

I had also gave him Merc Sol 30c only three doses and let us see what happens.
 
Dr. Rakesh Km Lko last decade
Hi, today is the 3rd and last day for the medicine. Please advice next step.
 
skumat last decade
Now no more doses. Just observe change in his symptoms and report back after 7 days.
 
kadwa last decade
Dear Dr. Kadwa,

Observations for your comments please :-

1....He rubs the genital area sometimes. Complains that something is pricking inside.
2....He is not as sound in his sleep, wake-up/sit even if I go to urinate.
3....Less confident while going to School, mostly resists a lot while going. Otherwise he is studious and intelligent, met the teachers, but there are no issues.
4....Mosquito bites/stings (suppurates)still taking lot of time in healing

Please comment/advice.
 
skumat last decade
Merc. Sol is a remedy acting for long duration. Sometimes the remedy takes 10-15 days to effect any change. So we should wait and see.
 
kadwa last decade
Thank you. I shall wait for the changes to occur. However, I wanted to know if these obervations (posted on Sept. 1) are anywhere related to Merc. Sol. Please note that, point # 1, 2 & 3 are new and were not there prior to Merc. Sol.
 
skumat last decade
Please wait and watch. The clear picture will emerge after some time.
 
kadwa last decade
