Can I use septilin?

Hi,

My kids aged 9 and 4 are suffering from cold and cough very often (2 times in a month) My 4 yrs old daughter was on antibiotics for 3 days every month in last 4 months. She has fever even today due to cold and cough.

Can I give them septilin syrup to build their immunity?

We stay in hyderabad where summer start next month (March). It is still chilly here. Can I start the septilin right away.

Please help me with the dosage and duration for both of them

Thank you,
Geetha

He needs CALCAREA CARBONICA.

You can give him this as his constitutional remedy. To start with, give him CALC CARB 30C three doses on a single day, each dose 4 hours apart.

Do not give him any other homeopathic or allopathic treatment for now.

Watch his improvements and report to me after 10 days of taking the first dose set.

Give the doses in empty stomach and clean mouth. No food or water one hour before or after the doses.

She seems to be a typical PULSATILLA girl.

Give her this remedy first in 30C potency on a single day, some 4 doses and then watch her response.

If she responds well, you know what to give her when she is sick again.
 
rishimba last decade
I have used pulsatilla 30 on Tuesday, 25th Feb 2014. She has fever on Monday and Tuesday. I just used calpol when ever necessary and the fever got reduced. Seems that this worked. She is complaining about throat pain and pain in the left ear.

Please suggest

Regards,
Geetha
 
geethap123 last decade
Pulsatilla 30C every 4 to 6 hours till the symptoms get relieved.

You should give it for 2 days maximum and then wait and watch.
 
rishimba last decade
She returned from school with 101.2 fever. Shall I use pulsatilla 30 for 2 days starting today?
 
geethap123 last decade
Pulsatilla will not bring down fever. I gave it for throat and ear pain due to cold. For fever you may give her FERRUM PHOS 6X every 30 minutes.
 
rishimba last decade
Shall I use pulastilla 30 and ferrum phos 6x simultaneously? Pulastilla every 6 hrs and fp 6x 1 tab every 30min

please confirm
 
geethap123 last decade
You can use them both.

Can you give me the modalities of the fever?

Does she drink a lot of water? What time the fever is maximum? Does she sweat a lot? Does she shiver?

Does she vomit after taking liquid food?

Does she have hunger?

Is the fever continuous or fluctuating?
 
rishimba last decade
She is drinking lot of water. She took orange for 2 days and she started complaining of throat pain and pain in ear. She is not that hungry. She shivers when temperature crosses 100. I have given crocin syrup and the temperature is repeating after 24 hrs. I have given crocin yesterday at around 2 pm and till now her temperature is normal. I have given pulastilla twice.
 
geethap123 last decade
Now that you are giving crocin syrup I guess it will take care of the fever. Just ensure that she gets proper and nutritious food and builds up immunity.

If you want to stop crocin and get on with homeopathy for fever, you should give her ARS ALB 12C every 2 hours during her febrile state. Once the fever is gone, you should stop it.
 
rishimba last decade
As her fever is not repeating can I give pulastilla 30 and she still has throat pain and ear pain? Please give me exact medicines to be used. My understanding is that I can go with pulsatilla 30 today and tomorrow as I have already started and she seems to be recovering with this. Thanks for your advice and guiding me to go for pulsatilla. With this I am looking to avoid antibiotics this time. (She is on antibiotics every month from past 4 months nov-feb). Strictly I am looking to avoid it as she is becoming week and restless. So please provide me the list of medications to be used for next 5 to 6 days. I would use crocin whenver there is fever and report it to you

I am very grateful for your responses
 
geethap123 last decade
You have done the right thing not going for anti-biotics this time. I feel you will never have to in future.

I have already told you, your daughter is in a pulsatilla state these days and if she doesn't change her overall mental state, this remedy will help her in throat pain, cough and ear pain.


Now that she has responded well, stop pulsatilla. You will see that she will be cured by herself. In case she relapes after 2 to 3 days, just give her three doses of pulsatilla 30C on a single day at 4 hours interval.
 
rishimba last decade
Thank you for your precious advice
 
geethap123 last decade
