In July of this year her 1st ever symptoms started. Arms and legs became very dry to touch and that remained for a few weeks then her folds of her skin became red and slightly cracked and bled when scratched, esp writs, behind knees and inside elbows.
She was going through a very clingy and weepy stage, very unusual as she normally does not cry or moan at all but she became very miserable and upset and fed up.
Lost her appetite and became very fussy.
She also complained of her bottom itching and when we checked at the doctors there was nothing there but slight rips in her crease of her bottom hole, we were advised to use petroleum jelly.
All this lasted in total about two months and then her symptoms cleared up. Now they have returned again

She grinds her teeth a lot and keeps kicking the blankets off and stretching her legs
Scratches all over her back and legs front and back and arms, takes her about an hour to settle back.

Also she had thrush when she was a baby in the mouth and vagina, she has had it about 3 times in total when she wore nappies,I don't know if that causes her bottom to itch now as I can't see any worms, just pink ripped skin in her bottom creases.
 
Saj22 last decade
The little red spots are scattered tiny spots and some of them have white heads, every now and then some become like little boils and look painful. She has said sometimes some of them hurt.
I will post some pictures.
Much appreciated, thank you.

Please let me know the following:

Are you absolutely certain that she doesn't have intestinal worms. Have you seen her stool regularly for a few days.

Does she like to bathe or not

Is there any redness around her anus

She dislikes noodles because of taste or texture

What taste she doesn't like, an example from natural foods is needed e.g. sour, bitter ?

Last time around she was clingy & weepy, this time only restless?

Please let me know the following:

Are you absolutely certain that she doesn't have intestinal worms. Have you seen her stool regularly for a few days.
No I can't see any worms and she only finds it itchy once or twice a day, it lasts for a few minutes then she feels better, sometimes after I wash her. she says it only itches around the anus, she doesn't itch in the night. Sometimes around her creases there is pink lines looks slightly raw. I assume worms are very itchy and itch a lot? Can it be thrush? It doesn't look white or sore? I really don't know if it is worms but I will still keep checking for any signs.

Does she like to bathe or not
Yes she enjoys bath time she doesn't like having her hair and face washed because the water goes in her eyes

Is there any redness around her anus
No redness at the moment, sometimes I can see few red creases that look raw and she says that hurts so I put some petroleum jelly on it . It makes it better.

She dislikes noodles because of taste or texture
She doesn't like the texture as it is hard for her to chew properly

What taste she doesn't like, an example from natural foods is needed e.g. sour, bitter ?
She doesn't like bitter taste, she does like oranges and satsuma a so I think she enjoys sour foods

Last time around she was clingy & weepy, this time only restless?
Last time she was very clingy, miserable, angry, easily offended and teary most of the time , grizzly and put off eating too it lasted for all of two months.
This time she is eating well, not moaning or crying, just the occasional tantrum. Needs hugs and cuddles at night time, assurance that we are there. She is much settled as she is now at nursery too.

Her pimples all over her arms and legs,shoulders looking very pink today and she has been scratching all over including her stomach. Few with white heads. I will send you a clearer picture. I have asked her how her bottom feels today and she said it's ok today it's not itching. I will keep an eye on it and let you know if there is any change.
 
Saj22 last decade
I forgot to add she doesn't like raw onion or cooked soft onions and peas. It's just the taste she doesn't enjoy, she has just discovered she likes cherry tomatoes.
She will remove them from her dinner like in pizza etc. she enjoys cheddar cheese not too strong a mild and creamy cheddar. Always asks me for some when I am cooking and cheesy biscuits too.

Please give her one dose of Sulphur 30c. Just one dose and revert with changes observed.
 
fitness last decade
Thank you I will buy it first thing tomorrow morning as it is available locally and give it to her, is it one dose and any particular time I should give it to her?
Also her arms look much more redder and spottier than this morning, she said they feel very warm, I have felt them and they are warm to touch, very aggravated and little inflamed due to spots.
 
Saj22 last decade
No particular time, just give a gap of 15 min before or after eating.
 
fitness last decade
Hi, I gave the sulphur 30c on friday and yet I have not seen an change her symptoms are the same.
Tonight she fell asleep and began to scratch her bottom after 3 days I went to have a look and I did see white thread worm's, it made her very restless and upset as her anus looked pink and little sore.
Can you please advise, also is it ok for me to give her threadworm medication from the pharmacy? I m worried as I dont want it to get worse.
Thank you
 
Saj22 last decade
Thanks for the update.

I was surprised when you mentioned that there were no worms. Anyways.

Please give her two doses of Cina Maritima 200c, 12 hrs apart and report back.
 
fitness last decade
No need for pharmacy medicine as this remedy will address the worms and all other issues.
 
fitness last decade
Hi, I'm from the uk and the online retailer I use is helios.co.uk but they only have ' CINA ' is that the same as cina maritima that you have prescribed?
They have a lot of different medicine and I did not want to get it wrong.
Can you please check it for me.
Much appreciated
 
Saj22 last decade
Yes, its the same.

Review of 4 year old
Cina 1st dose given on Saturday, and 2nd dose 12 hours later on Sunday.

Itchy bottom/threadworms100%better
Grinding teeth at night 97% better
Restless sleep 90% better
Itching arms legs was 90% better
Dry skin to touch 70% better
Appetite 90% back very hungry
Emotion 95% happy and cheery full of beans,

Over all her symptoms are much improved, she has got a slight chesty cough and needs to blow her nose occaisionally. Today her arm and leg creases look darker and aggravated and she has been scratching a little throughout the day. Her skin does feel a little rough to touch also. She has improved lots but since this morning a few of her symptoms have appeared.
Please let me know if I need to give her another dose.

Thanks
