Getting worse now, can anyone else help pls?

Need to get out of this Podophyllum induced situation very soon. He has major physical activity tomorrow scheduled with others and right now he cannot manage to stay awake nor does he have any energy. Has hardly eaten in the past 2 days.

I read online that Nux V is antidote for Podophyllum. I gave him one pellet couple of hours ago. The only thing that has changed is now he is feeling very cold and has switch off the ac and sleeping in blanket in about 90 deg fahrenheit weather!

One thing which might have caused Podophyllum induced issue is that he had salty dish some time after he had Podophullum yesterday morning. I read salt increases the impact of Podophyllum.
 
peaks 5 years ago
He seems to have developed fever now as well.

I am sorry to know that your son suffers when you are away from home. It is not easy. Please give him allopathic medicine. It is the faster path to recovery. Needless to say that no more Homeopathic medicine.
 
Reva V 5 years ago
Yes Salt activates Podophylum. It is very unfortunate that both coincided and apologies for not giving any explicit instruction

Please give Nux Vomica a few more doses based on his response. Nux is a documented antidote to Podophylum

If he develops temperature seeing a doctor and/or giving Ibuprofen is important.

Thanks. I've given another two pellets of Nux Vomica and also Tylenol for reducing the temperature. Lets see how the night goes.

Yesterday night was hard. He had stomach pain all night and still refuses to eat. Only drinking liquids. Continues to go to the bathroom every hour. Is heavily constipated but with intermittent diarrhea. Complains about stomach being full all the time, so doesn't want to eat and feels like vomitting when goes near food.

I gave him a second dose of Nux V. in the night. He refused a third dose as he felt that Nux increased his abdominal pain.

I think Podo has not been anti-doted fully yet but not sure if more Nux is the answer. How to proceed? How long will Podo's impact be felt if nothing is done further for anti-doting?

If Nux Vom is given (as an antidote to Podo) and if he continues to be sick, it should be travel and food related

It is worth trying match stick remedy, if you are comfortable. Witnessed the result several times from this

If you google for "joepathy matchstick remedy" you will get details. As you know, plan for doctor's visit beyond some limit.

Thanks Dr. Reva, I see no harm in trying this. I can search for matchsticks here.

will this cure constipation and the lack of appetite as well as this seems to be his major issue now?
 
peaks 5 years ago
Thanks. Yes. Please give a try.

I gave him about a couple of hours ago. he is saying now there is no abdominal pain. he still did not eat much dinner, but that could be because of his experience the last couple of days and maybe he is just being cautious. We will see how it goes tonight and tomorrow, but hopeful that this match stick remedy has helped.
 
peaks 5 years ago
Hope he gets well soon while you are traveling
 
Reva V 5 years ago
he still cannot eat any solid food without doing diarrhea. we might need to get allopathic medicine soon.
 
peaks 5 years ago
Solid food may take a few days. Is he taking some liquids and soups without having any pain. How is the energy level and whether he has fever

Is everything else is improving and solid food the only concern?

Have you tried repeating match stick remedy.
 
Reva V 5 years ago
yes, he is taking liquids for past 3 days. The match stick remedy has provided some relief, but the stomach pain comes again if he tries solids again. there is not much to eat or drink here, so we are are trying the best we can :)

the fever has gone away. energy level is better. how often should he repeat the match stick remedy?
 
peaks 5 years ago
It is worth trying one more dose of match stick remedy, if you are comfortable
 
Reva V 5 years ago
Thanks, he's taken 3-4 doses already. do you recommend any more?
 
peaks 5 years ago
Yes. More is ok
 
Reva V 5 years ago
Thanks, he seems to be better now, though not 100% percent.

Hopefully, he will get to normal soon.

I haven't given him Medorrhinum yet since we started the travel, Pls let me know if it is advisable to give it to him during the travels (we hope to stay here for a few more weeks, if all goes well).
 
peaks 5 years ago
Good to know.

Absolutely no for any medication duration your travel, so we don’t even remotely suspect this on.
 
Reva V 5 years ago
Dr Reva, I'd an observation since he took a dose of Medorrhinum before we left. His personality does seem to fit most of the medorrhinum constitution (though not all), and he was always very difficult to control since he was born and in general, there was never a moment of peace around the house while he was awake and he was not watching TV, video games, etc where he would be fully absorbed and forget everything else.

However, it seems that since he took the dosage of Medorrhinum, he is even more hyper and uncontrollable all the time. He's almost driving us nuts these days :)

Now, he absolutely does what he wants, the very little he used to listen to us before is gone now and he does exactly what he wants or else there is huge trouble! The thing is if he was a normal mature 17 yr teenager, it would be acceptable, but with his mental age being around 10-12, it has become quite a challenge now.

Is it normal to expect the above after Medorrhinum? What should we expect after we give him more dosages?
 
peaks 5 years ago
Is the recent changes are after the food poison or after the dose of Medhorinum. Are you sure it is after Medhorinum

This is not given based on constitutional matching and hence symptom need not match. Every humans has the trace of Medhorinum and Syphilinum virus. They need to be muted, otherwise only a superficial result can be expected.
 
Reva V 5 years ago
Thanks for the reply, Dr Reva. I believe they started after Medhorrhinum, food poisoning is gone. He has been feeling normal stomach-wise for the past 3-4 days (thanks for your match stick remedy, in addition, he took some allopathic pills provided by a doctor here).

Sometimes I feel that it is not that he is really immature, it is that he just doesn't want to be. It seems he doesn't want any responsibility and wants to explore everything in the world in extremes, which seems like the medorrhinum personality. Everything in his life seems like he wants to do in extreme.

Give him Calc Carb 30, four pills, in the evening, on alternate days for two weeks. This is given to bring nutritional balance, that can contribute. Give no other Homeopathic medicine along with this
 
Reva V 5 years ago
Thanks Dr Reva. Unfortunately I don't have this one here, so it will need to wait till we get back home.
 
peaks 5 years ago
Take your time to start, after return.
