Acute ear infection please HELP! Page 4 of 8
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
That would be my advice. Continuing to use the remedy can be problematic if it is not needed. So the thing to do now is to see how things progress on his own.
The remedy *should* realign his own control systems to allow him to correct his own syptoms. If it has only allowed the original misalignment to do what it was doing previously, that will become evident soon enough.

Okay. I checked his forehead- he's been sleeping for about a half hour, and he was sweating some, not a whole lot, but some.
Altho, he did mention before he fell asleep today if i could keep the room warmer cuz he feels cold in the night.
Also something peculiar he does that i remembered, and thought I should mention it to you.
He yawns while sleeping, in his sleep.. he doesn't do it often, but enough that i've noticed it. I thought that was strange, never seen that before.

it's almost 11pm... and i was about to retire to bed, and i found him sitting on his bed, i went to put him back to sleep, he said he was tired and went off to sleep. He sweated more than i thought, was damp on his body, and grinding his teeth

he seems to be relapsing. He woke up a few times in the night to check if his dad was with him. In the morning, he woke up crying. After an hour or so, is complaining of ear pain, and very much lethargic and off mood.
He did a lot yesterday evening, played a lot.. did not expect him to relapse... but he is very different today, very off mood. Appetite is normal tho, he's eating. No fever, just complaining of ear pain- same one.

Repeat China 200 with 10 hits
♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade

So now he has no symptoms?
If they return again today repeat the 200 with the extra two hits.
I have researched the difference between Chin rubra and China officinalis - the plants are different (red cinchona as opposed to yellow cinchona). It is possible that red cinchona is a hybrid of some sort.
However, when I look on Helios Pharmacy's website, they list China rubra under China officinalis. I don't know, therefore, what remedy this person has in stock as China. Another name for China off. is China regia - I wonder if that is how it has been mixed up?
I am not sure how to advise you. It might be that the plants are similar enough that one could replace the other, or it might be that it is the same plant erroneously listed under two names.

ok well the china 200 liquid that i used is the one by dr. reckeweg...(and it just says china) the one i buy (in case i don't have it at home) is the boiron... and she just had the china rubra... will call her tomorrow to see if she can get the regia.
he hasn't shown any symptoms since noon, so in case he again relapses, i'll give him the 10 hits.

Poor thing - hopefully both of them are well enough today that you can take some time off to be sick :)
♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
haha, does a mom really get time 'off to be sick'? Or better yet... does a mom get time off? :) Luckily i managed to take a nap, and have this forum to whine about all my symptoms- while you're asleep that is!

his status: he hasn't complained of pain, slept well, but has been waking up crying!
Strange for him, usually wakes up in a good mood, goes to the washroom, etc. etc
Now he's asking for *help* to go to the washroom...
was okay after a breakfast.

In order to intervene with a remedy, what you really look for is some kind of pattern. Things may come and go and disappear, and those things don't usually require a remedy. Things that stay, things that keep reappearing, these things help point the way to deciding how to continue treatment.
♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
I don't know but he's been whiny, needs help with everything. Bullying his sister, laughing when she's crying.. grinding his teeth in sleep and sweating in sleep.
Crying easily. Not really listening well.
In terms of health: stuffy nose. No ear pain today.

Thank you Pankaj that is very kind of you.
I am not a Doctor by the way, in Australia there are very few medical homoeopaths as the government does not support homoeopathy. It is a Bachelor degree here now (in Health Science).

well, he's got two personalities: the one that's helpful, eager to please, good natured, obedient, nice in talking, takes care of his sister... (and that's when he's getting a whole lotta attention, so he's in good spirits)...
the other personality (when he's being ignored, or told to do something on his own).. is a bit whiny, talks back (and then quickly regrets), repeatedly will want help in things he can accomplish on his own..not physically aggressive, ever.
his other traits: extremely possessive of mom and sister,
conscious of genitalia, already understands the difference between males and females... asks a lot of questions, plays with himself a whole lot (i thought that strange for 4 year old)... needs someone for reassurance in sleep, has not expressed fear of the dark.
In terms of eating, drinking, following a routine, showering, getting things done basically, he's willing and usually cooperates, unless sick.
Loves to talk, loves attention. If his sister is not giving him the attention, he starts the bullying.
I hope this helps. He's been waking up in the night, moaning a bit, and asking for company. His nights have never been the best, but after his acute, it's been worse.

and yes.. grinding and sweating at night are all normal and alot of peeing in the night, he's still in a night diaper cuz of it.

As I had said in the very beginning of this thread, Lachesis was indicated.
Incidentally, (and this happens very often) it also covers his chronic mental state perfectly.
The ear pain worse from touch but better from lying on it was so characteristic, so are his chronic mental traits.

Actually I can see a different remedy.
Does he have any specific fears?
What does 'extremely possessive' mean?
What kind of attention does he love?
What does he do to get attention?
What does he say when he wakes up at night?
Where does the playing with himself take place?
How is he with other children?

Oh also...
Where does he sweat? Does it smell? What is his temperature? What does he do while asleep?
Is he craving any foods or drinks?
Tell me what happened when his sister was born, in terms of his behavior?

I believe, I know which remedy you are thinking of, David. But, I will be surprised if that is the chronic simillimum here, given the underlying miasmatic state.
sameervermani last decade
We will see what these questions bring out. Nothing is certain until every expression is explored thoroughly (as much as can be done via written messages).
The prescription of China as an acute, might also be useful in determining the chronic here.

He was fine thru the day but at night before sleeping complained of ear pain.
Here are the answers.
Does he have any specific fears? He does not like to be alone. Wants company. Does not like falling asleep alone. Before this acute, if he woke up and was alone in the room (in the morning) that was okay, he'd come out of his room happy. But while falling asleep, did not want to be left alone.
Occasionally before sleeping asks if there are monsters, but he doesn't dwell upon it. And actually likes to watch *scary stuff* on tv.
He does ask: 'what if i'm lost and you can't find me?' but again during the night before sleeping. But if we go out during the day, he runs away from me easily, but is quick to turn around to see where i am.
What does 'extremely possessive' mean?
He does not like his dad to hug/kiss me or sit next to me... my son will have to come and either pull me away from him, or hug me closer to him. Same way with his sister, if other people approach her, he's quick to put his arm around her, and tell that person that she's *his* sister.
What kind of attention does he love?
He loves when he's the center of attention. When he's making jokes (which he does often), and other people laugh. He likes to dance/sing and other people cheering him on. His favorite line is: 'Mama watch me'.... while he does a stunt (jumping, climbing, etc)
What does he do to get attention?
Makes jokes, talks ALOT... to anyone... asks a lot of questions, join me in whatever i am watching just to get that 'companionship', interrupts to talk to the person i am talking to, jumps, if ignored, bothers his sister...
What does he say when he wakes up at night?
He cries if he wakes up at night and looks for either me or his dad, lately it has been his dad. He has been wanting him more. He asks him to hug him (which is how he falls asleep). The last few months, i've 'weaned' him from the hugging, and just went to touching the side of his bed, which is 'good enough'.
Where does the playing with himself take place?
Watching tv. More so when he's sick, when he's doing nothing...
How is he with other children?
Mixed. He's very popular with his classmates, he's loved... has very good/close friends.
Teachers say he'll be a lady killer. Girls like him. He's nice to them.
He defends his ground if someone hurts him, ie: if someone pushes him, he pushes that person back. If someone tells him off, he'll tell that person off- regardless if i'm around or not. He won't look for me if attacked, he'll just defend himself however he sees fit.
Where does he sweat? On his forehead. Does it smell? No. What is his temperature? I don't know what you mean. What does he do while asleep? Some nights he sleeps soundly, barely moves doesn't wake up. Other nights, he tosses and turns, talks in his sleep, yawns in sleep, grinds his teeth, always pees in his diaper... but always always wants to be covered by his comforter. If it's taken off, he'll wake me up to put it properly.
Is he craving any foods or drinks?
He loves eggs. Loves food generally. Loves meat, deli meats, likes shrimp, crab. Doesn't likes cakes, or sweet stuff aside from ice cream and frosting and chocolate. Does not like candies. Fruits he only likes apples and bananas, nothing else. Does not like vegetables at all. Recently, after much coaxing, he's open to mushrooms and carrots. He eats well (more than me!) but he's tall and thin. He likes to be fed tho, but will sit in one place and eat. If hungry will ask to eat. If he wants desert, will say that he'll finish his meal first and then have it. Does not overeat junkfood. He's pretty *easy* like that.
Tell me what happened when his sister was born, in terms of his behavior?
My husband's whole family came so he spent a lot of time with them, with his cousins. He was very happy when she was born, started to sleep thru the night when she was born... he played alot with his cousins during that time, so he didn't demand too much of my attention. Loved to hug and kiss her, and still does. She was 'his baby'... so he coddled her alot and kept asking when she was gonna run around with him. He helped me with her, brought diaper, etc. ALways wanted to do stuff for her.
A side note: he's a perfectionist... he chooses his clothes, clothes are specific. Hairstyle is specific. If his jeans don't fit the perfect length, he starts crying. He doesn't like his hands dirty, so rarely eats with his hands. He doesn't really lose stuff.. if he can't find something, he gets upset- very conscientious about his things. Has good memory for incidents with details (like the last time we went to a specific restaurant (all be it months ago) he'll remember it was raining that time.
Does not like change. If something changes, he wonders why, gets upset, does not like that. Does not like sharing.
If he cries, oh my gosh it's loud, and it doesn't stop. Doesn't matter where we are, he'll wail- so the whole town can hear him. Difficult to stop for trivial things.
Stubborn, if he wants something, he wants it now...
I hope this info helps.
