Cough and Cold in the age of 5 years
Hi Doctors,My daughter is 4.5 years old and since birth she is suffering with fast attack of cold and cough. She is very sensitive to catch cough and cold. She can not take normal milk, normal (not hot) rice, banana, grapes, orange etc.
We always do care of her from these kind of foods and fruits but even some times she got attacked by cough and cold.
Could you suggest a permanent treatment for her?
Kindly note that I was suffering from asthma but since last 2 years I could not get any asthma attack.
Waiting for your kind suggestions.
Regards
Mahmood

Please take two doses 12 hrs apart. Just two doses. Not daily.
Report back in 7 days with changes observed.

First dose: At night before sleeping.
Second dose: 12 hrs after the first dose.
Dont take any more dose or any other remedy unless I tell you.
PILLS/PELLETS:
If your remedy is in the form of pills:
One dose is one pill.
Dissolve the pill in mouth.
LIQUID REMEDY:
If your remedy is in liquid form:
Put one drop of the remedy in half glass of water, stir and take one tea spoon from it.
Thats one dose.
Use the same mixture for subsequent doses, if required.
Dont refrigerate the mixture. Put it anywhere covered, away from direct sunlight.
PRECAUTIONS:
If there is significant worsening of symptoms (called homeopathic aggravation) after the first dose, then dont take the second dose.
Dont take any other homeopathic remedy during this treatment.
Give a break of at least 10 minutes before eating/drinking anything before or after taking the remedy.
During the treatment, dont eat anything which you have never had all your life.
HOW TO GIVE FEEDBACK:
A good example of how to report your progress is by giving %age improvement for all your health problems e.g.
Headache: 30% better
Low energy level: 50% better
Anxiety: 40% better
Sadness: No change
Depression: Worse
And so on list all your complaints.
GENERAL INFO ABOUT HOMEOPATHIC PRESCRIBING:
If someone is giving several remedies, without waiting to see the effect of one remedy, then it is totally against the core principles of homeopathy. Such an approach is unlikely to give permanent cure, rather it may distort actual symptoms making subsequent cure even more difficult.
