Homeopathic works according to symptoms in totality (not for disease and not have same medicine for same symptom every time)so it is hard to tell a best medicine for your child.

It would be in a process by which homeopathic doctor will use homeopathic medicine according to symptoms.

It is not clear that your child is suffering at present time nor enough details are given by you regarding symptoms i.e.

Which time of year she got these symptoms.

Which time of day she starts these symptoms.

Which time of day she is worse.

Any possible cause or things that makes the problem worse.

What symptoms she got with cold i.e. sneezing, runny nose, obstruction of nose or any other.

Nature of cough.

Nature of fever etc.

What diagnosis was made by doctors you had seen earlier.

Which medicines worked i.e. Ars. Alb, Bryonia, or Belladona best.

Who suggested you these medicines.

Sincerely,

Dr. Rakesh Kumar (B.H.M.S.)

You still not made clear is child suffering with any of these symptoms at present.

Your location and climate at present time.


Any family history of tuberculosis and lung problem aside of mother.
 
Dr. Rakesh Km Lko last decade
Dear Doctor,

thanks a lot fo your replies..
My anwners inline..

You still not made clear is child suffering with any of these symptoms at present.

==> for the last 3 days she has cold,cough ( more during nights) and fever between 99 to 102F. Last night she had cought ( each cough attack occurs in few times in an hr ..every attack has 4-5 coughs in a row and last cough is like trying to vomit the sputum but nothing comes out). This morning as per allopath doctor advise we did chest x-ray and there is inflection in both lungs. Kid is gasping rate is 60/min which doc said 10 above the range. We have given sample for blood tests..I will post results by tomorrow.

Your location and climate at present time.
==>chennai and its cloudy/drizzling once in 2 days but still hot other times.

Any family history of tuberculosis and lung problem aside of mother.
==> I am kids father and had brochitis symptoms when i am and 6-8th years old. it got cured after taking treatment then and never re-occured since then. others are not in the family.

As child is suffering from lung infection, it would be best to continue with your pediatrician consultation and advise.

You should also give homeopathic medicines too to fasten recovery.


What homeopathic medicines you have tried for this episode.

Belladona, Pulsatila, Merc.Sol, and Phosphorus are indicated for present episodes.
 
Dr. Rakesh Km Lko last decade
Dr.Rakesh this seems to be the case of sppression of erruptions that the child had on his leg and were suppressed by parffin.I think you can start from here.
 
bapu4 last decade
Yes Bapu,

I had included this too while tracing out curative medicine.
 
Dr. Rakesh Km Lko last decade
thanks for the kind advice doctor. liquid parafin was applied on the skin for only 1 month and a derma dew ointment and cetaphil soap when kid had scales. for this episode we are using Ars alb 200, Rustox 200, Brionia 200, Ipicac 30 and biochem 11,( split doses of anyone of them once for every 2 hrs whole y'day when there was cough, we have used single dose of phosphrus 200 two days back. today allopath doc started taximo,paracetemol and relent tabs. now cough has reduced a lot. will post more blood test results tomorrow.
 
srinupeddiraju last decade
srinupeddiraju,
You shud also inform the responce of yr child to phos200 etc.
 
bapu4 last decade
Dear Bapu,Rakesh,

I am not sure of the effect of phosphorus200 or specific other homeo medicine so far. We are also giving antibiotics also.
based on the CBC allopath found infection in lungs and today prescribed antibiotics for another 5 days whcih we are doing to the kid.

now cough has reduced to only few times a night -especially when kid wakes up or when she is out of mood or crtying to take any feeding/medicines. since i see your reply y'day i have replaced ars alb200 (no great thirst for water/restlessness) with merc 30, stopped bryonia200 as fever is no more ( i have used paracetemol only once a day hence can i think bryonia 200 would have helped surely. Also started Bell30, and continuing biochem11.kid was having fast breathing 60/min and mild wheezing two days back,now its normal. hence i think Bell or Merc would have worked. any suggestions please to clear up the lungs?

many thxs for pointing out the suppressed skin erruptions. Any suggesions on how to root out the invisible factor. pleas elet me know if i need supply any further details. i am greatful to get into this forum. i would like to meet n person if needed.

Big Thanks To Dr. Bapu,Rakesh for the kind advice.

Hello! My now-5-year-old daughter also had similar recurring fever/cough/cold issues every 3 weeks until just a few months ago. Granted there were a lot of other health issues including food and environmental allergies, we found out that she might have been suffering from Periodic Fever Syndrome. I'd highly recommend that you speak with your pediatrician in Madras about this or find someone who can do some diagnostic measures to find out if this is affecting your child. It is very hard to see your child go through this and we can empathize with you and your family. Our best wishes are with you. Good luck.
 
dhaatry last decade
If you post her recent symptoms then I can analyze it and tell what medicine should be given.


Otherwise, if child is doing okay by behavior then continue Merc Sol 30 three times a day.

If child is crying a lot with episodes of red face, irritability, screaming then you should give Belladonna.
 
Dr. Rakesh Km Lko last decade
srinupeddiraju,
Though the child is/may be soothing this time but pl. bear in mind that what antibiotics do?they just dry up the cough,if a prson keeps taking antibiotics for cough,the cough is suppressed again and again and then depending upon the vital weekness of the body the problem of this cough turns to brchities and then either to pneumonia,or asthma,I am not frightining you but I am making you cautious of the things,we have very good doctors here on this forum,who will guide,there are very good medicines in Ayurveda an homeopathy,allopathy in emergency is ok but dont run to a;;opathy for small things,search a good vaidya of ayurveda and start the medicine for your daughter along with homeopathy,so that her immune system will be stronger.Kids ailment will always frighten you,but always have patience,study your kid very well about his helh,you shpul understand his health laguage,if a medicin(homeo/ayur)given wheter she is going towards positive or not?
 
bapu4 last decade
Dr.Rakesh, i'm following you with Merc 30 for cleaning up the remaining infection/sputum from kids lungs and cure the suppression of the skin erruptions.


Dear Bapu, i've full faith on homeo for permanent cure and its ability to speed up recovery however i am falling back too often on allopath for short term relief which is a valid reason. it is not inline with how we should we define 'health' and what makes up 'holistc treatment'- i thought as homeo and allopathic medcine systems which can compliment each other pefectly by their very nature! for the former aims at primary aspect of the treatment, preparing body immune system; while allopathic medicine will work on alltogether complimentary aspect called 'removing' extenral factors which potentially weakens the body immune system. if not this way how else can we make treatment more comprehensive and effective. Really appreaciate your comments in this regards.

Hi dhaatry, thanks for the inputs, i 'll talk about them them when i meet my pediatrician, next time.
 
srinupeddiraju last decade
Dear Rakesh, Cough is almost nil,though little bit sneezing,cold is still there.its ranining regularly here and wet allways this week. couple of other old symtoms re-occuring which i forgot to mention before. 1)kid was having bet wetting problem earlier and its repeating now. 2) she has hard stool and normally cries to go. these two symtoms are on and off since she is 18 months old. any suggestions please.

Antibiotics are over?

Recurring symptoms seems due to recent acute illness.


If antibiotics are over then you should give Sulphur 30C one dose in morning and Merc Sol 30C one dose at night only {these meds are suggested on the basis of child was only on Merc sol. If you had given any other medicine then tell me which one and according to this next medicine i can tell you.
 
Dr. Rakesh Km Lko last decade
Yes.Antibiotics are over.
We are currently giving only Merc 30c.thxs.
 
srinupeddiraju last decade
