Whooping Cough

My son who is 12 has whooping cough and I'm looking for some guidance on what to give him. He has been coughing for 5 weeks. He coughs often throughout the day. It sounds like an airy cough and then a couple of times a day he will have a coughing episode where he feels and sounds like he's choking. Once he goes to sleep, he generally does not cough but he usually has a coughing episode upon waking in the morning.

Also, my son who is 6 has started sneezing and coughed twice today. Is there anything you would suggest I give to him? I have been giving him colloidal silver 3-5 times a day and elderberry syrup 1-2x a day along with vitamin c for both of them.

Thank you for the reply.

I guess I didn't give enough info. I have tried a few homeopathic remedies. I have given drosera 30c to both kids - I gave it to the 12 year old until I wasn't seeing any improvements and the 6 year old one dose at night the last 2 or 3 nights. I have also give both of them pertussinum 30c one dose once a week for two weeks. The 12 year old, I have also given kali bichromicum 30c and coccus cacti 30c. I did see some improvement with the kali bichromicum but quit giving it once there was no more improvement.

Kalium carbonicum 30c 1 dose daily for 3 days

Thank you. I will have to see if they have that locally. I usually give the little pellets. So is one dose the 5 pellets that the container suggests or is one dose one pellet?

TiredMom1 6 years ago

Yes 4 pelletes is one dose

I have not been able to find the remedy but the symptoms have changed some. He no longer coughs all day but rather two or three coughing episodes with a wheezing/whooping sound a day. Hot air and running around seem to set off the episodes. Is kalium carbonicum 30 still the best remedy?

Kali sulph 6X 4 tablets 3 times a day

For 3 days

Give feedback

♡ Mister4 6 years ago

I have only had the remedy for a day but so far, it doesn't seem to be helping. If anything, he's coughing more.

TiredMom1 6 years ago

Ok first please clear some queries,

Are you giving any other medicine with along with this??

You are giving this medicine to your 12 year old son or 6 year old ?

Is there any complaint other than cough

Tell me is there any expectoration coming out or its a dry cough?

♡ Mister4 6 years ago

This is the 12 year old. I have been giving him a clearlungs supplement and vitamin c. No other complaint other than cough and no expectoration. It sounds like an airy choking cough. It seems a bit more random now where before it was if he was running around or went into hot air. He wasn't coughing at all at night but last night I heard him a number of times.

Thank you. Do I give them both at the same time? I am using the pellets so just give one dose per the package instructions? The clearlungs supplement I was giving is the Ridgecrest Herbals ClearLungs which is a capsule not a syrup - just wanted to make sure you knew what I was giving.

TiredMom1 6 years ago

Yes stop it for at least some days till he is on homoeopathic medicine..

Basically clearlungs is for mucous..

Maintain a gap of 15 min between the two.

♡ Mister4 6 years ago

Thank you! As for my other child. He still has a mild cough which seems to be getting more often. He still sneezes frequently. It's a hacky kind of cough. Is there anything you would recommend for him?

Give 6 year old son
gelsemium 30c 3 times day
only for 3 days

♡ Mister4 6 years ago

Thank you! Today is the 3rd day I have been giving my older son the Kali Sulph. He has one more day of the Phosphorus. Do I discontinue the Kali sulph after today? His cough seems to be less again.

TiredMom1 6 years ago

Complete one week of kali sulph then discontinue that..

♡ Mister.4 6 years ago

We completed three days of Phosphorus with the 12 year old. The cough seemed to get somewhat better. Today is the first day without the phosphorus and the cough seems to have increased some. It is mostly an airy cough which occurs mostly right away in the morning and right before bed with a few random ones throughout the day.

TiredMom1 6 years ago

Give him only one dose of hepar sulph 200c

And wait for 5 days no any medicine..
