Pls help - Diarrhea and stomach ache
Hello sir,My daughter is 5 years old. She started complaining of stomach ache yesterday and lost her appetite almost immediately. She had 3-4 semi-solid bowel movements today and stool had a foul smell once or twice. She is thirsty and asking for water only.
She looks pale but is otherwise playful.
I have give her Aloe Soc. 30 twice and Arsenicum 30 once.Pls advice.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Podophyllum 30c, one dose, every time she passes the stool is very reliable.
If she has painful stool, Merc Cor 30c will be prompt to help.
If you strictly go with the modality of thirst (esp if for small quantity of water), repeated doses of Ars Alb 30c may help. If in doubt, Podophylum is great, esp for kids.
After initial recovery (even if other remedy helps):
==========================
I suggest to give Podophylum 30c once a day for 3 or 4 days, even after she complaints no pain. This continues to improve the digestion and brings a complete recovery.
If the pain is very acute and she cries with pain, give MAG PHOS 6x and KALI PHOS 6x, 4 pills each in hot water, and give a teaspoon full every 10 minutes or so, till the pain is not any more there. You should still give Podophylum to improve the digestion.

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply. Will report back.
Can you suggest anything that can increase a little one's appetite ? I have asked this question before in the forum and have been suggested Alpha Alpha but that hasn't helped at all. My son who is 2 years old has no interest in food. He likes to drink milk that too very little. Hardly eats solids. Otherwise, he is cheerful and active. No major issues. He gets strep throat often.

Rhus Tox 6c (not 30c or any other potency), taken twice a day increases appetite in little ones. Continue for 3 weeks.
Calc Carb 30c - 1 dose in the morning, once a week (not daily) for 3 weeks, is good to build up some strength and can be given during the same time. Dont give Rhus Tox on the day you give Calc Carb 30c.

Thank you so much. Will surely report back.
My daughter is feeling good now. Since I didn't have podophyllum, I have been giving her Arsenicum which has helped greatly Thanx for your advice. I will order Podo 30 as per your advice and give her.
