Acute ear infection please HELP! Page 2 of 8
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
China rubra is not the same as China officialis (the remedy known as Chin), although they are related plants. I don't have any experience with Chin-r.
I would not give him that remedy, I am not certain what effect it would have.
If he is now convelescing don't repeat the remedy unless he relapses or clearly gets stuck. If you do need to repeat only use the 200c of China Off.

Status: He woke up an hour later, did not complain of any earache, but sweated so much again, so i changed his pjs and give him another dose (200c - 4 times). Asked before sleeping, what if i get scared.... I think that has to do with his nightmares he's been getting while sick.
Thanks,
Karina

Was he sweating during the fever?
I usually find that when the sweat starts and the fever breaks it is a good sign.
Be cautious about overdosing him - the remedy can start to produce the symptoms it was curing if you use it too often.

i gave him initially 4 doses of the china 200 (2 hits), whenever he showed signs of having pain and then 2 doses (3 hours apart) of the 200 (4 hits). Not sure if the sweat was due to fever. I hope i haven't overdosed him, he seems to be sleeping peacefully after the last dose an hour back.
If he wakes again, should i avoid giving him another dose?

Well see how he is. One the scales have tipped back towards a natural recovery, for the most part it is better to let them make their own way back, using the remedy whenever they backtrack or get stuck.

Okay he is still restless. Sweating. Not complaining of pain tho at all. Cool to the touch, no fever. Seems to have bad dreams. Will not give him anymore doses and see how he does thru the night.
In your opinion, what is the reason for this profuse perspiration in sleep? Is it the fever?

I often see people sweat alot after an acute fever breaks.
From the perspective of homoeopathy and the direction of cure, it is a natural discharge which is helping to relieve the internal complaint.

Thank you so much for all your help. I'll try to keep him calm thru the night, and avoid giving him anymore dosing.
He is still sweating and started to grind his teeth a bit.
I'm going to try to get some sleep. Will post in the morning again.
Thanks again,
Karina

Oh i didn't see that message before i posted mine. OKay will give him that dose as soon as he wakes.
karinamom last decade
i didn't end up giving him another dose cuz he didn't wake up after that, and that was also the last release of sweat. He's woken up a bit lethargic, no pain, hungry and thirsty, cool to the touch. So he's eating and drinking. Will see how the day goes- i also have an appt with the doc in 2 hours to assess the ears. Will keep you posted.
Thank you so much!!!

Doctor's diagnosis:
He's much better- demeanor wise. He has some infection remaining, but he said: you can go ahead and wait it out. He was generally pleased with the results and lack of resorting to the antibiotics.
Okay here are my thoughts. Demeanor and energy- 95% back. Pain not really there. Infection: how do i proceed to speed up the healing process? He is not lethargic anymore, not whining... playing.. eating some.. (not 100% appetite) but eating, and not complaining. What's the next?
Thanks so much,
Karina

It is not the purpose of homoeopathy to speed up healing, but to instigate it if you understand what I mean by that. Once the vital force's natural ability to heal is stimulated, it should be left to find its own way without interference. If a person is mostly better and you keep giving a remedy, you run the risk of aggravation or creating new symptoms.
It is a great result - exactly what I would have hoped for, a textbook reaction. At this stage just observe him and wait to ensure he recovers fully.

Thanks & morning to you. Yeah it makes sense. He did complain of pain at some point in the afternoon, so i gave him one dose of 200c (6 hits). Other than that, nothing else.
If he complains of pain later, do i repeat? It seems to be instantaneous- pain comes and he goes to rest on the couch.

You can repeat it while it continues to work. If it goes on too long (if he seems to need daily doses for instance) we might need to change something.
It might also be useful to see if the pain resolves on its own - perhaps wait half an hour or so before giving it again (assuming he is not suffering too much).

He sweated a little bit last night some more. He says he has pain a little, but not enough to prevent him from playing- so i don't think it's that bad. I've noticed his pain spikes around 1pm - 3 pm... so i'll see at that time. I haven't given him another dose since yesterday evening, i'm waiting it out..
thank you,

China is one of our malarial remedies - they often have afternoon aggravations like that.
Do you feel that he is continue to improve though?

Morning to you. Yes absolutely. He's eating well, hasn't complained of pain at all today. He's been playing mostly. In fact, he ate veggies today- willingly, which was a first! I haven't given him any medicine today.
He's doing really well. In your opinion is this med palliative? or is it his constitutional remedy? or what... i still am trying to understand how the constitutional remedy is different from the acutes... I've used china before when he got real sick from food poisoning, and he got better quickly after that... but i just gave it to him on impulse at that time because he was soooo dehydrated.
The other question i had was, he sweats at night, and before he gets sick, he sweats more.... does that bring him into a 'china state'?

Without doing a full case taking there is no way for me to know if this is his chronic remedy, although if it is he may very well go into acute China states as well. However if it is his chronic, you should see benefits to how he is in-between these acute phases. And he should go into less accute stages, and when they do happen they should be less serious, until they are cured altogether.
It isn't palliative, the remedy has cured the acute. But has it cured his tendency to go into those acutes? That would differentiate it from an acute medicine and a chronic one (for him).
A remedy that suits the chronic as well as the acute, will create improvements across all levels, in things that are there all the time and not just while he is sick.

chronic ailments in him are acne, teeth grinding in sleep, and constipation. That's it. Other than that, he's a very outgoing, friendly guy, who talks and jumps 24/7. He eats well usually and drinks well, and is very cooperative.
The china has helped his bowels, he seems to be going earlier in the day, a bit more regular, rather than at night.
He's got reddened cheeks... like a circumsized area.... i noticed today it wasn't that red.... but will wait and see when he goes outside to play.
I never ended up giving him a dose. He didn't complain of pain at all.
If he's restless in sleep, shall i give it to him? or wait it out some more?

He has been fine through the day. Eating drinking and playing. But he's waking up crying, and waking up once or twice in the night, with little crying. He sweats a little in sleep.
