Please help!!! chronic cold Page 5 of 5
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
ferrum Phos was suggested by my sister-in-law as a biochemic medicine which she said can be used in case of fever. I gave him twice yesterday morning and afternoon. His fever is now gone. Today morning, he complained of headache, so I gave him Bryonia 12c as suggested by you. He required two doses and now no headache is there.
also, his cough and cold is also recovering fast.
Shall keep you posted

Dear Rishimbaji
Wanted to let you know, that last week, my brother's temperature crossed 101 and the cough too was a lot, he seemed to be becoming weak. So finally we had to go to a allopathic doctor, who gave him antibiotics and cough syrup. That has brought down the fever and the cough too has come down to a great extent. He finished the course of antibiotics today morning. However, there is still some amount of cough which is coming out. Though this time i noticed that this happens mainly when he is having food or just after food. His nose too tends to fill up which he needs to clear.
I also noticed that till yesterday the cough was white, sticky type but now it is back to being frothy, watery.
I'm also monitoring his temperature which goes up to 99.5 and then comes back.
Now my concern is that do I go back to the allopathy doctor or just wait for it to completely subside or is it possible to treat it now with homeopathy.

If he has taken the full course of antibiotics, you need to wait and watch.
You should know that he was actually fighting virus. The physician gave him antibiotics just to protect him from a possible secondary bacterial infection. Till now, the antibiotics have done nothing to him. He will get cured only when he develops immunity against this strain of virus.
Till the time these chemicals are in his bloodstream, there will not be any bacterial attack. Also, homeopathy won't work for the next few days.
Let him eat well, take vitamin C drops and gargle with saline lukewarm water. This is what he can do to get his immune system work for him.

My brother's lycopodium 200 dose is due tomorrow, can I give him that??
His symptoms of agitation seem to be back though they are less intense than earlier.
Also his cough isn't totally gone yet.

Yes, lets hope it works. If it doesn't work, wait for another 7 days and give another dose.
Presently, he is still under the influence of antibiotics. It will take a few days to get the drug out of his bloodstream.

Dear Rishimbaji
The lycopodium did seem to work, and my brother is happy and peaceful.
His cough is not totally gone, it does come once in a while. Though last two nights he was able to sleep peacefully without any cough.

When did he take the last dose of antibiotics?
What are the modalities of his cough? What is the color of his sputum?

What makes the cough worse and what makes it better?
What time is it worse and better?
What is the actual suffering? Which part of the respiratory track is most affected? Is it the lungs, bronchus, larynx or pharynx?
What is the sound like?

What makes the cough worse and what makes it better?
He feels better when having hot food or beverages. In warm temperature. Its worse inside the house than outside. His thirst has come down, though apetite is fine.
What time is it worse and better?
The cough comes on throughout the day but typically more in the evening, and I also observed it to be more around food time. At night, he finds it difficult to go to sleep. Though he is able to continue sleeping peacefully once asleep.
What is the actual suffering?
Can't say for sure as I checked with him, he doesn't have digestive problems. His apetite too is fine. Otherwise he seems fine. No soreness in the throat or blockage in the nose.
Which part of the respiratory track is most affected? Is it the lungs, bronchus, larynx or pharynx?
Don't know. He complains of pain in the middle of the chest region when the bout of cough comes on.
What is the sound like?
It sounds like loose rattling cough

I feel LYCOPODIUM covers most of his modalities and so I am not suggesting anything for his acute condition.
You don't have to give anything to him now. Just continue Lycopodium based on his mental symptoms. His acute symptoms will also get relieved gradually.

Dear Rishimbaji
Hope you are doing well.
Its been a long time since I posted anything.
You had prescribed lycopodium 200 for my brother. He is doing good and the frequency of the medicine has now gone to once a month.
For me you had suggested sepia 200, which I continue to take once a month and my symptoms have become better. My mentrual cycle has improved from 1.5 days in a month to 2.5 days.
Last saturday onwards I have been feeling pain in the lower back. It is not continuous and bearable. It does not happen when i am walking, but typically when I am sitting or lying on my back. any change in position when sitting brings relief.
also today I noticed that sometimes along with this pain my left leg ( knee down) also pains.
what would you suggest?
