Speech delay/ screaming 3 year boy Page 2 of 3

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Yes those combinations can cancel out the effect of any other remedy given. It is important to never mix homoeopathics together.

The real problem is that it is hard to know what has happened. Perhaps the combination remedy antidoted the remedy, perhaps it suppressed the cold symptoms, perhaps it did nothing and the Bufo was ineffective. It does slow things down considerably as we have to work out which of these things occurred.

First reaction to a remedy *should* be a worsening of the symptoms. The improvement will usually come a few hours, days or rarely a few weeks later. Typically I would expect the aggravation to start within the first 3 days, peak 3-5 days after the dose, and improvement should be noticeable once the aggravation begins to subside. This often isn't seen until the first week is over, at least not in a definite form.

Yes gave him the bufo on Friday
On Saturday really aggressive and screaming a lot his cheeks were flushed and his eyes sunken and he just looked terribly tired. He was not happy Saturday for sure. Sunday he was ok not so aggressive he somewhat behaved and Sunday night is when he started off with his cough and runny nose and I gave him hylands cold remedy. His screaming and temper is still there he stil gets really upset when he drops a toy on the floor repeats random sentences that are playing in his mind his speech how ever is getting a little clear but won't say the whole sentence sometimes and he is extremely clingy these days
Should I try zincium ? I have ordered it but not yet received it. Or should I try bufo again? Perhaps after his cold is over ?
He tries to communicate but isn't there yet for example if he wants to put his book in his backpack he will say open it and close it not put the book in the bag

Ah that explains a lot to me.

What appears to have happened, is the remedy has created a vent for the internal problem, through his mucous membranes (the apparent cold). The combination medicine has suppressed those symptoms (closed the vent) and prevented the outwards movement.

You can see this is likely, as he was somewhat improved in his behaviour, and then the respiratory symptoms started. In cases like this, you often see a cold begin as part of the curative process. It is *very* important to let it manifest and finish on its own. This is what we call Direction of Cure - from inside out, centre to periphery, from more important to less important areas.

Wait for the cold to finish, and then we will reassess.

So he had fever for 5 days he had a viral cough/cold. He is better now but just a bit of lingering cough
His behavior I feel like he understands more then before and he tries to make sentences even in situations where he only used two words he used 4word sentences to tell us something
He still wakes up screaming and looking for me or a toy he is attached to that day sometimes he will lay awake for 15-30 mins
He still cries over little things like if he breaks something or drops something he will cry
He will still get upset if something isn't the way he wanted
He gets angry and upset very easily and will throw his ipad on the floor or whatever we is near him on the floor
Overall I feel like his speech and understanding has improved about 40% but his behavior in terms of sensitivity, screaming upset is still there
what should I do?
Thanks in advance :)

Hello
So it's about two weeks or so since I have given him his remedy
Update to his treatment/behavior
His is understanding when I talk to him which makes discpline so much easier
He still repeats random phrases but has improved from before
He's aggressiveness has improved about 70%
My only concern at this point is he wakes up crying at night and screaming for a toy still or just wants me to lie down with him sometimes he will hold my hand pretty tight to sleep he also sleep talks sometimes and fights naps in the afternoon his eyes are sunken in and so tired from lack of good sleep
Thanks so much in advance uve made a mothers life easier then before :)
Please let me know if there's anything else I should do to help him

Thanks
Yes he has definitely improved but he has been waking up a lot more during the night crying for a toy or me. Last night he woke up five times ! I heard nux vomica is good for insomnia I the 6x nux vomica for three days it helped first two days then when I stopped it came back to him waking up I tried again this week but it hasn't helped
What can I do?
Thanks in advance
 
Am123 9 years ago
Please wait for Evocationer to
advise.

He was not able to be on here much after the holidays.
 
simone717 9 years ago
It is very important that you do NOT give him any other remedies. This can not only reverse the progress but change the case and make it harder to cure.

Please stop prescribing for him. Adding other remedies into this situation will only confuse things.

Apart from the crying for you at night, has anything else worsened or regressed?
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
His night screaming has become worst since the bufo rana was given to him
He has become better otherwise
He still screams gets upset but much much better then before it is worst when he is hungry or over tired mostly common in kids I think
He wakes up upto 5-6 times at night crying screaming mostly for a toy
Sometimes he stays up at night for an hour just staring at the ceiling or saying random sentences
He still recalls random phrases but not as much as before
He still plays in an aggressive manner he hasn't gone better in this area
His understanding of speech has made my life so much easier and his words are getting better as well but when u ask him what U did in school he doesnt know how to respond to it
Overall I'm really happy with his progress but his night wakings has been really difficult for us to deal with
Thanks again
 
Am123 9 years ago
I'd like to add something to my sons progress/regression
He's defflinetly getting better with sentences
His night problems please im desperate for sleep He wakes up 2-5 times sometimes crying for a toy sometimes he still cries even if he's holding the toy
After he's done crying he's wide awake from the crying He will lay and stare at the ceiling repeating random phrases
He will stay up for at least an hour or so if it's close to sun rise he won't sleep at All
He barely takes naps
His eyes turn so red and look so tired especislly from the crying
He's also become a littke aggressive in playing he started throwing toys and he pinches his younger brother and even grabbed him by his throat today which he has never done
He has started pre school im not sure if that could be part of all this its just too much for me to handle with him these days
When he's in great mood well rested and fed he's such a well behaved kid he will listen and behave
He's really moody I feel
It's been about 4 weeks or so since the bufo rana was given to him
Please give some feedback or hope...

Hmmm...some improvements, some changes, some things worse - it is a bit of a mixed bag.

Alright let's get a bit more active. Repeat the Bufo, but I want you to dilute the drops in 250mls of water. Just one dose.

Also, can you obtain STRAMONIUM 200c as a possible next step or to alternate with the Bufo.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Ok I will give him the one dose as prescribed
Also last time you told me to keep zinc metalicum on hand I have that but if stramonium is what we need to help him I can order it online should I get pallet form? Or liquid ?
Thanks so much

So I gave him bufo on Thursday
Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday night he slept good Without waking up much if he did it was only for few seconds without much crying
Monday night he cried for a toy again and has been up since 5 30 am today he had preschool and didn't nap either and refuses to sleep.
His aggression hasnt changes much he still plays rough with his brother and cousin. Including pushing pulling hair sitting on them biting throwing toys for no reason at all. He would do these things randomly
Another thing I would like to mention which I never did before but his preschool teacher pointed to me is that his gross motor skills aren't the greatest he trips very easily bumps into everything and falls very easily I knew that about him but just assumed it was clumsy. They are currently evaluating him for gross Motor
Apart from aggressive play and some screaming he is making more spontaneous sentences. He is getting close to potty training he's becoming better at it he when he's in a good mood will listen and behave nicely
Should I wait for bufo to kick in further ? I feel like it hasn't made much diff I didn't even notice him being extra aggressive after the dose like he did for the first two doses I gave him thanks in advance
 
Am123 9 years ago
Alright, before considering changing remedies, let's push the Bufo a bit further.

Can you obtain Bufo 1M. Let me know when you have it ... I want to assess what is going on before giving him a dose.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
I checked online and near where I live I can't find bufo 1m potency I see others
I usually order from this website
http://www.homeopathyworks.com/product.php?xProd=11627&x...
Maybe you can look at the potency and see an alternative ? I do however have zinc metalicum on hand you told me to have it in case

Thanks again
 
Am123 9 years ago
I have another question
He's got another cold should I avoid homeopath cold remedies ?
 
Am123 9 years ago
Don't give cold remedies, they almost always cause problems in an ongoing case.

If Bufo is the right remedy, avoiding 1M will mean no cure. Try your best to obtain it. We have to know if he needs a stronger dose or not, and we can only know that by trying it.

The other option would be to move to the LM potencies and give daily doses, so Bufo LM1 (or 0/1).
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Ok I looked around I can only find bufo rana 1m in pill form is that okay ?
 
Am123 9 years ago
That is good - just get a bottle and dropper as well to make the oral dosing liquid yourself. Pretty sure I gave instructions for that earlier in the post.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
So I haven't given him any bufo 1m yet I'm waiting for his cold to get better but I'd like to update you for some feedback
For last 5-6 days his behavior has changed to the point where he is understanding more and tries to talk more as well
His sleeping issues at night I tried to stop it by ignoring his request for a new toys every few hours at night. I only let him pick one before he sleeps to hold onto and if he woke up at night I let him cry it out he cried for three nights and now if he wakes up it's only for a minute and he almost doesn't cry like he used to. When he wakes up he comes running to me or my husband as if he's scared but he doesn't cry.
However he is still resisting naping even if U wakes up at 6 he refuses to nap. He has been waking up at 5-6am despite him sleepin at 9-10 on weekends and 8 pm on weekdays. He goes to preschool full day. He looks so tired. Should I still get the bufo 1m? His aggressiveness has gone better since last post I wrote. He does it but I noted it's Cuz he's jealous of his brother (1 year old/ he takes a lot of attention from everyone), he's hungry or when he's over tired. These three situations really throws him off and he will cry and drop on the floor etc other then that his aggressiveness has gone better
Also I'm curious how long does homeopaths effect stays in him? He is improving slowly but surely.
Feedback would be great
Thanks

Hello
So after great difficulty I was able to get bufo 1m
I gave him the prepared dosage Friday night last week . Saturday he was a bit worst not so much very slight aggregated symptoms of tantrums Sunday he was much calm
His speech has imporved working progress
I also had a meeting with his teacher to discuss his behavior. We found out that he is eager to learn in school, he's very determined , he doesn't like if he's wrong (at school he shys away when he's wrong at home he screams and cries kicks on the floor). He has excellent memory but poor at applying things. His symptoms become surfaced when he is hungry and over tired. He refuses to nap. If he stayes past 7 30 pm he will have fits on the smallest things and he will push his brother or throw toys outa frustration and because he's over tired. Same with food when his food is not given in time he will have fits.
His screaming sessions have improved however the loudness of screams have increased. He still needs help with controlling his anger emotions and frustrations at this point
What should I do? Today will be day 6 since I've given him bufo 1m.
I feel like at school he's well behaved but at home since he's more comfortable he will have tantrums Im sure it's normal for kids his age but I need help with him to help deal with his emotions he gets excited angry frustrated very easily and doesn't know how to control them.
Thanks so much for helping me with my son. I am forever grateful for how you have helped me thus far please advice what I should do next .
 
Am123 9 years ago
For the moment I would wait. 1M is a very powerful, deep acting remedy, that may take weeks to show its full effect.

What will almost certainly happen over time, is we will move away from Bufo, which is an unusual state for a child to be in, and move towards a more commonly seen remedy/state. I am not sure what that will be yet, but it will become obvious as the case progresses.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Hello
So it has been almost 3 weeks I have administered the bufo 1m
He's still waking up at night either cry for a toy or he wants to sleep with me
He still repeats phrases randomly like he's playing a scnerio in his mind that he has experienced or seen and will repeat all the phrases even in middle of night he sometimes wakes up and startes talking it not as often but I would say once every 10 days or 2 weeks
He still has to improve in controlling his emotions he doesn't know how to release his emotions and frustrations
He's talking more but not to his age
He is getting occupational therapy, speech therapy and physical therapy at school since they discovered he needs to work ok his gross Motor skills and strengthen his muscles also he isn't potty trained yet and he's going to be 4 in July. Also he gets frequent blisters on the edges of his tongue and his breath smells
So what should I do now? To help him completely thanks a lot I cant thank enough on his thus far improvement.
 
Am123 9 years ago
At some point, I believe he will need a new remedy, one that might be more usually seen in children of his age. Bufo will move him away from his more serious problems but eventually no longer be needed - it is all about knowing when that happens.

I assume there is nothing new appearing - no new symptoms of any sort? Or any very old symptoms now reappearing?
