Aconite 30c

Dear Doctor,

My older son (7.5yrs) has viral fever.My younger son(2.4yrs old)started having light temperature.I gave him 5 doses of aconite every 30mnts last night.He did not have fever through out night.Today morning he has light temperature.I gave him 1 more dose of aconite.

Kindly tell me how many times I should give aconite now that he has already had 6 doses.

I really appreciate all timely help.

Warm regards

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
There is no standard dosing in homoeopathy. You give a remedy when it is needed, and you stop it when it is not needed.

If he is better, wait until he relapses before giving any further doses. Make sure he is not worsening in any other way, or developing new symptoms. This can be a sign that the Aconite is suppressing his symptoms rather than curing them.

Thank you sooo much Doctor for your reply.
His temp is not coming down remains the same even after aconite this morning.I don't know if he has sore throat.
Last month he came down with horrible fever.It started with 37.5 and his face,mouth and lips reddened and eyes and nose were all red burning.The temp was above 39 deg in a matter of 3-4 hrs.I am worried if the same will repeat.

Kindly advice.

My older son had a temperature of 40 deg and I gave him hepar 200 twice for splinter like pain in the ear and throat.Later he started showing pulsatilla child symptoms.I gave him 5 doses of puls 30c.Though his clinginess reduced and seemed calmer the temperature did not reduce.It keeps shooting up.I keep sponging and bathing him but temperature goes above 39 deg.I gave bifen.

Please advice.Thank you for all the help.God bless you.

You must give the remedies for the right reasons, and only repeat them if it is clear they are helping.

What symptoms did the Aconite cure? If it has cured no symptoms, it is the wrong remedy and you may produce side effects if you continue.

Without a proper case being taken I cannot suggest a remedy for him. If you can provide a clear detailed description of his state I might be able to help. If you can do the same for your other son then I might also be able to help him.

I will post some questions you can use to base your report on.

1. Describe in detail the main problem - appearance, colour, shape, sensation, pain. etc. What happens, when it happens etc.

2. Describe any pains or behaviours associated with the symptoms.

3. Describe anything that makes the problem worse ie. position, temperature, food etc.

4. Describe anything that makes the problem better ie. pain is better for cold bathing or at night in bed.

5. Go through each symptom or problem he/she has, doing the same thing, even if the problem does not seem connected to any others (repeating answers for questions 1-4 for every problem)

6. When did each problem start? What happened around that same time?

7. What is his/her character like? What kinds of fears or anxieties does he/she have? What makes him/her irritable? We are looking at the changes from their normal character here not the way they were previously.

8. What foods does he/she crave or hate? What drinks does he/she crave or hate? Is he/she sensitive to anything he eats or drinks? How does he/she feed?

9. How does the weather or season or temperature affect him/her?

11. How is he/she with socializing with others?

12. What is his/her bowel habit like? Any problems? Any odours, strange colours or stool shapes?

13. Where does he/she sweat? Does it have a smell or does it stain a particular colour?

16. Problems with sleep? Position he/she sleeps in?

My son is 7.5yrs old.He has been having fever since Monday.Its tarted off at 37.5 to 39 deg.

2. Describe any pains or behaviours associated with the symptoms.

He complained of severe headache and pain in the back side of his rt leg.Heat coming out of his eyes.The fever increases a lot by night and through out night the heat does not subside.gave him Bifen and it still takes a long time to reduce.Meanwhile I give him tap water batha nd sponge is head and armpits,groin.The first day(Monday) he was very cooperative,ate well,was calm.It continued the same way on Tuesday though he was tired.By Tuesday night he had lost his appetite and complained of ear pain(I gave him hepar 200 for the splinter pain he mentioned).On Tuesday night the temp shot to 40.5 deg.We rushed to the emergency .By then the bifen was working and again sponged him.He became very clingy,angry ,irritated and upset,said he was going to kill himself,he was going mad.(i gave him puls 30-6 doses at an interval of 30mnts)The fever did not come down but he did not seem very clingy any more.The ear pain and throat pain remains and hence stopped eating well.He had two bites of idli.He would beat any one near him while trying to expectorate or felt too sick.He became very upset.

3. Describe anything that makes the problem worse ie. position, temperature, food etc.

He is not having anything.Rice,roti nothing.He asked for apple juice and now corn flakes.Cant find anything else that makes it bad.He cant swallow anything.

7. What is his/her character like? What kinds of fears or anxieties does he/she have? What makes him/her irritable? We are looking at the changes from their normal character here not the way they were previously.

Very sensitive,wants to be loved,cared for always,we should always understand what he feels and go by his feelings and analyse well before concludinga nd telling anything to him,is very afraid of teh dark,very gentle at the sma etime rude when angry and abusive as well.
he becomes irritable if we ask him to wait.wants our attention and should see absolutely no distinction btn his sibling and him( we never do that)

he loves chicken and fish,eggs.he gets fish 3-4 times a week ,chicken once a month,egg also once in 2 weeks as he is a bit allergic( has lost of gas and loose stools when he takes eggs often.also peanuts)he is not very fond of roti but generally is cooperative as he is aware that he has to eat healthy.he is not given any junk food.noodles or pizza is once 2-3 months.likes soup,fresh fruit juice,not very fond of water.

9. How does the weather or season or temperature affect him/her?

cant take too much cold air like the freezing cold malls,or water on his head will lead to fever.
we never eats or drink cold things

11. How is he/she with socializing with others?

is very friendly,likes to have friends.very cooperative.

12. What is his/her bowel habit like? Any problems? Any odours, strange colours or stool shapes?

Too much gas if he eats eggs but otherwise is okay.tendency to be gassy so i usually give a dose of carbo veg 30 after he eats something that may cause gas.

13. Where does he/she sweat? Does it have a smell or does it stain a particular colour?

his head sweats.,groin.No particular smell,just sweaty and unclean.

16. Problems with sleep? Position he/she sleeps in?

He usually sleeps on his side with his hands between his legs.Has a tendency to hold his genitals always esp while sleeping, wants to be cuddled by me and pull at my hair.he says he feels ta ease and secure when he does that.
Now when he is sick he continues to sleep on his side mostly to the rt side.with hands btn his legs.

Please let me know if you need any more details.

My younger son is not having any temperature now after the 6th dose of aconite in the morning.Should I give him any more doses of aconite if his temp rises?How often should I give him?How many times should I give?I do not see any other symptoms now.
I just read that too much aconite is poisonous so am scared.
Please advice.Thank you very much.

warm regards

Get Lyssin 30c for the son you have described in detail. Give him a single dose and let me know how he responds.

Your youngest son is symptom free, back to normal, is that correct?

No homoeopathic remedy that is 12c and above is toxic in any way.

Thank you for the advice Dr.
I do not have lyssin with me and all stores are closed for the day out here.I have aconite,euphor, ferrum phos,bryonia,ars alb,silicea,rhus tox,arnica,carbo veg. Will get it only tomorrow.Dont know what else to do mean while.


My younger one is not having any temperature now 8pm here.I
dont know how things will be
so can i give aconite again?

I heard that nux vomica 30c can be given to remove the effects of bifen.please advice.i am so worried with all the bifen he had to have.

Thank you Dr.Your help is sincerely appreciated.
 
engee last decade
Do not give the Aconite again while he is well. If you give it when he does not need it you will aggravate him. Only give a remedy when the symptoms call for it.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
But its alright to give doses every 30mnts if symptoms call for it?

Please advice abt nux vomica.

Shall I wait till I get lyssin for my first son?
Thank you.
 
engee last decade
What do you mean advise about Nux-vomica? I have suggested Lyssin, a completely different remedy. I didn't really see the state of Nux in your son, it was much more wild and acute like Lyssin.

In an acute, you could even give a dose every 5 minutes. Generally speaking, if I have repeated a remedy 4-5 times and the patient still needs it, I would assume the potency is too low and move up to the next one.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
I understand Dr.I meant Nux vomica to take away the ill effects of Bifen,paracetamol.

Ah I see. No that is not really necessary and you should only give Nux-v when the symptoms match. The simillimum will fix all problems.
