I gave her a dose last night. Immediately after giving her the dose she bagan sniffling and was asleep soon. In the morning I suspected that she was getting sick again, her voice was kind of hoarse, but since noon she has been fine. It's been approx. 22 hrs after the dose. I haven't noticed any change in her mood, she has high energy level as usual.

Sorry for bothering you again so soon. This morning she woke up with laryngeal cough and has been sniffling again, nose blocked. The cough is very rare and dry, sniffles from time to time. Could this be an aggravation? Also, her behavior has become very bad, whiney and fidgety, shouting, throwing things, tramping, and if she doesn't get what she wants she becomes hysterical. Then suddenly switches to being very nice and quiet, and apologises a thousand times. Could this also be caused by the remedy?

Its most likely aggravation. Just observe and keep me posted.

Hi! Her condition is perhaps 10 % better than yesterday, she coughs more when asleep, sleeps with her mouth wide open. During the day, she coughs rarely. Her nose is blocked, full of mucus which does not come out through her nose, flows back to the throat. High energy level.

Hi! Her condition remains the same during the day, coughs rarely, but last night she coughed a lot, dry cough, so if should compare her persent condition to what it was two days back - no improvement during the day, worse at night. Gets worse when she lies down or jumps and runs a lot. Her lungs are still clear. High energy level, normal appetite.
 
salihnel last decade
Observation to continue.
 
fitness last decade
Hi! She still coughs from time to time, now the cough is loose. She had alternating episodes of getting better and then getting worse. I think that she's much better now. High energy level, good mood and appetite.
 
salihnel last decade
Keep observing.

Did you get Belladonna 200c.
 
fitness last decade
Yes, I have Belladonna 200c.
 
salihnel last decade
Hi! She coughed a lot last night but today again coughs very rarely. This aggravation has been going on for a week and keeps getting better and worse. She's fine overall, energy, mood and appetite are good.
 
salihnel last decade
Her body is trying to overcome the underlying issues, let it work and keep observing. Its intelligent enough to know what to do, we will only intervene when required.
 
fitness last decade
Hi! Her condition remains pretty much unchanged, still coughs from time to time, esp. after running, she would start to cough a lot and has difficulty in breathing, and also sometimes at night wakes up coughing. High energy level and good mood.
 
salihnel last decade
How has her condition changed since the last dose.
 
fitness last decade
I gave her Phos 200c two weeks ago. Her other issues have not changed since then, only this cough has appeared. Last week it got better and I thought it was going away, but it persisted, esp. when she lies down or is more active.
 
salihnel last decade
We will wait for a few more days.
 
fitness last decade
I just want to mention that her condition remains pretty much the same, running and jumping make her cough and struggle for breath, also coughs in the morning when she wakes up. Still wait?

1. Your age & sex
4 years, female

2. Describe your appearance i.e. weight, height, body type (thin, medium, chubby, fat etc)

• Weight 17 kg (37 lb)

• Height 112 cm (3 feet 8 3/32 in)

• Body type (Very thin, Thin, Medium, Chubby, Fat, Obese)
Thin, a little bit taller for her age

• Any significant feature (e.g. sunken cheeks, stooped shoulders, thin chest etc.) Prolonged (oval) head, the back of her head is not flat, kind of rounded which was very evident as a newborn - when lying on her back, her head was always sidewards, I had to hold it to keep it straight and help it shape properly

3. Your profession
still attending kindergarten (she's very artistic)
4. Describe your personality in at least 20 words (e.g. stubborn, lazy, suicidal, don’t want to work, always in a hurry etc.)
She's messy, doesn't like to put her toys in place, can never find anything which makes her angry and calls for help without making any efforts to find it herself. When I am in a hurry, she never is. Impatient. Stubborn. Always occupied in some activity. Friendly, likes to play with other children and seeks their company.
5. If money was not an issue and you had a month of vacation, what would you do
Guess she would go to a place with a pool, loves to bathe, though she is afraid from deep water

6. How is your relationship with your parents, spouse, siblings, children etc.
Very easy going with her father, loves to play with him; when he's around, she sends me to the other room, doesn't let him hug me so we avoid to hug before her, feels jealous. Seeks me when sick. Enjoys teasing and opposing me, but tells me that she loves me several times a day.
7. If not ok, what’s wrong and how is it affecting you
The problem with me is that I don't have enough time to play with her. Her father works in another city and she sees him once a month for a couple of days which makes her very sad, calls him and tells him to take the bus (and presents) and come immediately.

approx. 1,5 years ago (aged 3) when she started attending kindergarten; the present cough - approx. 20 days ago

Allopathy would say viruses, but I guess she doesn't enjoy kindergarten much and she misses her father. As for the cough, we were suspecting aggravation from Phos 200c, but now I wonder could it be related to the spring and blooming trees somehow.
