Tantrums, crying, clinging

Patient is a 4 yr old girl, placed in foster care with sister away from parents 3 months ago. Behavior is charachterized by frequent tantrums accompanied by crying, and sometimes kicking. She seems to be accustomed to getting her own way. She is manipulative, flirts and shows pretty eyes to adults to charm them. Pouts frequently. Frequently says 'no' in response to requests to do things such as go to bed, take a bath, get dressed. She is a spoiled brat.

Right now this behavior is worse because she has a cold lingering for 2 weeks.

She wants to be held a lot. Does not want to play by herself. Would prefer to watch TV (sports even) with her body in contact with an adult as in sitting in their lap, rather than go play with her sister or with her toys.

She also eats twice as much as her sister who is 14 months older. She has a fat round tummy that protrudes like toddler. She eats so much and so fast that much of her food passes in the stool in pieces unchewed. Stool floats indicating fatty stool and malabsorption.

Her grandmother reports that she has had frequent ear infections and has tubes in her ears. She has had frequent upper respiratory illness.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Also, she has medium brown hair, very thick, no skin blemishes, muscular build with good muscle tone, likes to play outside. She is very friendly to everyone, smiles a lot and is a generally happy child when not being defiant and uncooperative.

Also, the children act like they are addicted to over the counter medicines. Their grandmother told me their mother used to give them large doses of Benadryl to keep them asleep as much as possible. I wonder how this has affected them.

Thank for your help.

This does sound very much like Pulsatilla. You can try a single dose of 200c.

However, if this does not help, a full and proper case needs to be taken to find the correct remedy. Homoeopathy relies on precision for its cures.

I know it does sound like maybe Pulsatilla. That was what I was thinking, and I am fairly familiar with Puls., but I did the online Remedy Finder twice, a day apart and it said Lycopodeum.

Now the Constitutial Remedy Finder at abchomeopathy said Pulsatilla. But, I suspect that constitutional Remedy Finder at acb includes a shorter list of the main const. remedies and not the entire repertoire. Just a suspician...

So just to clarify, Abchomeopathy Remedy Finder says lycopodium. Homeopahtyandmore consititional rem. finder says Pulsatilla.

I would love for others to weigh in here. I want to get the consittutional remedy. I am actually thinking to try a 30c first. If I think it's right I would then give wet dose, succussing it.

It does not sound like Lycopodium to me. But the only way that I could assure you of a remedy choice would be to take the case in full. If you want to do that it is fine.

The Remedy Finder program is not very reliable, because it does not help you to choose which symptoms to use in your analysis, or tell you how to weight those symptoms in making a choice. You need a homoeopath to do that for you.

It also does not cover all the remedies that possibly you might need.
