Improve immunity and wieght gain?
My daughter age 3yrs 9mths, is very much underweight. She weighs around 11.5kgs. The ribs are visible. Her head and height is pretty much normal.This winter she has been had a bad throat for the first time, cough & cold, urt infection and viral fever. All within period of 2 months.She has ear discomfort whenever she has cough and cold.
She has lost her appetite and has become cranky and stubborn.
She does not like to wear new clothes. Sleeps with lights on although we parents sleep beside her.
We try to give best balanced and palatable diet(vegetarian), but she is very difficult.
We also maintain good hygeine levels. Wash her hands frequently.
We feel her being underweight could be the cause of her weaker immunity.
How can we improve her weight, vitality and general immunity?
Is AlfaALfa tonic a good option?
Thanks
PS: I have a twin Son.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Give the child, a medicine called CHAMOMILLA-30c, 4 pills, every 4 hours, till symptoms persist. This will take care of most problems.
Alfa-Alfa tonic is a very good decision and should be continued for months together.

Dear Nesha,
Thank you for the reply. In one of the threads here, I had read,the Alfa Alfa tonic now has many sex realted additives too. So Alfa Alfa tincture was suggested by someone. What is the dosage of tincture to be given? If not available then what?
Also when I had been to the pharmacy to buy the other medicines, I had seen many brands of Alfa Alfa, and if I am not wrong they were with different powers as well.
So what's the best?
Thank you again!

"Deven" :
Alfa-Alfa TONIC and Alfa-Alfa-Q (mother tincture)are two different things.
Alfa-Alfa Tonic is a readymade Over The Counter (OTC) sweetened formulation available from different companies with different formulations and ingredients. THIS IS NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUR CHILD. Also there is no such element of SEX tonic in Alfa-Alfa, as commonly misunderstood by unqualified homeopaths.
You must obtain Alfa-Alfa-Q (pure mother tincture) and use about 10 drops in a little water and give it to the child. Atleast three such doses every day before meals. You would see results in about a month or so.
YOU should also have your child's stool checked for all types of worms and parasites. Till then, give her Chamomile, as suggested above.

Would you consider introducing meat into her diet since vegetarian is hard to keep balanced for your young child?

...I understand vegetarian diets can be healthy when properly maintained.But since your girl is so young..try an alternative for now? I am not meaning to offend.

Firstly so you know I am not a homeopath, or qualfied professional.
Soy milk sounds beneficial as it has protein which your child may be lacking from having no meat.
'Protein is an essential nutrient that the body needs everyday for normal bodily functions. Proteins are broken down during digestion into amino acids; the building blocks that help to build, repair and maintain various tissues.'
