The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Speech delay for 3-old year

Hello to all the homeopaths in the forum. I am writing after quite sometime.My son is just turned 3 in this october. He is still not talking any meaningful word. His history is below.
Name: Rohit Bhowmic
Date of Birth: October 09, 2006
Age: 3 years
Height: 40 inches
Weight: about 29 pounds (almost 13.2 kg)

CHIEF CONCERN: Speech delay.

DELIVERY: Was a C-section baby. However, there were no complications. Since the first child was C-section, we were advised by the doctor to go for the surgery. Weight at birth was 8.5 pounds and length was 21 inches. APGAR score was 8 and 9. Had newborn rashes from head to toe which resolved within 7-8 months.

MOTOR SKILLS: Both fine motor and gross motor skills age appropriate.

EATING AND DRESSING HABITS: He can hold his glass, spoon, plate on his own. He can drink from the glass on his own. He can eat small pieces of food on his own. He can turn the pages in the book one by one, can remove his shirt, pant, shoes, socks on his own. He puts his hands into the sleeves of his shirt if we hold the shirt over his head. If we hold the pant, he puts his leg into the pants. Sometimes can put the pant on his own too. Sometimes he can put on his shoes on his own. Generally, he is quite independent.
He loves to drink milk with little sugar and slightly warm in winter and cold in summer. Same with the food. He prefers slightly cooler temperature. He is not very picky about food. Can brush his teeth on his own but I do brush the teeth after he has finished brushing by himself.

PLAYING WITH TOYS: He plays appropriately with all types of toys cars, buses, trucks, trains, ball, musical toys, etc. He can throw the ball, kick the ball and tries to catch the ball when it is thrown at him. He likes to play with other kids as well as adults. He plays with his elder brother.
He can scribble with pencils, pens etc.

HEARING: His hearing seems fine. Responds to his name and some simple commands.

SPEECH: He has not started talking yet. He makes lot of sounds like Aye, AyeMa, AyeBA, nana, baba, bubu, dada, etc. But he has not said any meaningful word yet. Also he makes these sounds on his own. He does not usually use them to communicate with us. He generally uses gestures to communicate. He will either bring us the thing that he wants or will take us by hand to the thing he wants.
For example, if he wants milk, he will take me to the fridge, take my hand and put it on the handle of the fridge and make some sounds. When I open the fridge he tries to bring the milk can out.
If he wants me to read a book, he brings the book to me and keeps it in front of me, turns the pages and makes sounds as if requesting me to read.

RECEPTIVE LANGUAGE: He can generally respond to one-step directions. For example, if I ask him to go to the bathroom to take bath, he will run towards the bathroom, or if I tell him we are going out, he brings his pants, shirt, shoes to me.

He loves music and will clap or beat the drums, play with keyboard, etc. He can point with index finger.
He does not have any abnormal tantrums. He is generally a very calm, obedient, and quiet child.

SLEEPING HABITS: Sleeps well.He usually does not have nightmares.

Toilet training:. He does not wear diaper at home. If he wants do anything, he comes to me and makes some gestures. He has started to sit on the potty chair by himself when he feels the need.


I have been giving him Nat mur 30 for about 6 weeks now. But nothing significant has happened. His sounds have increased may be about 5%. But he still does not say any meaningful word.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I forgot to mention . My mother is battling lung cancer. So we have a history of cancer. Also, my son was extremely hairy when he was born. It took sometime for the hair to go from his back. Now his les, thighs and hands are showing some hair. In summer this year we had gone to India. We did go to a homeopath who gave him Carcisocin for 3 days and then medorrhinum for 3 weeks. I think his sounds had increased then. But it was so short time. And we came back to USA. So could not continue the treatment anymore. I had read in MAteria medica about Nat mur. So Igave it to him.Results have not been significant inspite of taking for 6 weeks. Other than these, he has not taken any medication for his speech. When he has fever, cold etc, I gave him Bryonia 30c and it works.

describe his personality, his likes and dislikes etc.

how does he behave with strangers, visitors, friends and small insects.

please describe the health history of the child's parents on both sides. is there any case of alcoholism or suicides in the family.

in the past two generations, has there been any case of ulcers.

otherwise, he seems to be a quite an intelligent child with all faculties above average.

however, if his speech is delayed, it may be possibly because he doesnt hear conversations as much as he should.

you both have to speak to talk to each other as much as possible very clearly in his presence.

if both his parents are working outside and he doesnt get to listen to conversations, its natural that that there would be delay in his speech.

Ulcer: The child’s great maternal grandmother had stomach ulcer.
Suicides: None.
Alcoholism: None but some of the uncles may be social drinkers.
Cancer: Child’s maternal grandmother has cancer.
Small Insects: Mostly he is curious. He tries to touch them and see. Rarely he may be scared.
Speech delay: Child’s paternal grandmother talked late ( about 3.5-4 years of age). Older brother also talked late at about 4 years of age with homeopathy med (Zinc met and Agraphis nutans).
Heart : Maternal grandfather had heart attack and bypass 11 years back. Still takes meds.

Behavior with friends, visitors, etc: He is quite comfortable and interacts well with kids of his age. If he takes an instant liking for n adult, he interacts well with that adult. But sometimes he gets scared of some adults and starts crying if forced to interact with them. However for majority of the adults he takes little time initially to get used to. Once he does get used to them, he interacts very well with them. This summer when we took him to India to his maternal grandparents house, initially for one month he would not go to anybody. Then he got used to them and would actually go and play with them, hug them kiss them, etc. This is true for all visitors, friends, family, etc.

Personality: He smiles when he likes something, hugs, kisses, plays with parents and older brother well, likes to go out, likes colder weather but warm food. He knows how to do bye bye but does not do it on his own yet. He responds very well to his name. When he sees cartoons that he like son TV, he starts clapping, laughing. He likes to hear nursery rhymes, especially Old Mc Donald, the animal sounds. He is very fond of animals. His favorite is elephant. He has a toy elephant which he carries most of the time.

His mother is at home with him all day. Talks to him all the time. His older brother talks to him when he is at home. His father plays with him after coming back from office. He understands English better than Bengali. So we talk to him in English. I read childrens books to him. He likes the books with words and pictures. But he does not want to hear the story books yet.

Mother’s health: Normal except for occasional premenstrual syndrome and sinusitis.
Father’s health: High cholesterol. Taking supplements . Otherwise normal.

High blood pressure runs in both families.

no remedy required.

he has already taken medhorrhinum and thus no need to give him anything else.

however, CALC PHOS 200C one dose weekly will be helpful for a few weeks.
 
rishimba last decade
He had taken medorrhinum in May -June. Actually he took Carcinosin for 3 days 2 doses daily, then 15 days gap, then medorrhinum for 4 weeks. How long does it take to show the effects? I am very worried as this is causing problems with admission to school. Also, if Cal phos 200C is not available can I give 30C potency.Please help.
 
bhow123 last decade
CALC PHOS 200C is recommended. howevever, if you dont get it, you can initially give him 30c potency once every 3 days for some 2 weeks.

give the doses early morning in empty stomach some 4 doses in 10 ml of water slowly sipped up. no food or water one hour before or after.

I followed your advice and have given my son Cal phos 200c for the past 2 months. He still has not spoken a maeningful word. His consonant sounds have increased little bit. His receptive language (understanding what we say) has also improved a lot. But no words yet.What should I do?
 
bhow123 last decade

Hi
I gave tuberculin 1M to Rohit on February 23rd. His receptive has really improved. He is almost potty trained and always lets me and his teachers know by gestures when he wants to do something. He has started going to school (special ed but in a regular school). HE did not cry or fuss at all. He is enjoying school and actually looks forward to go to school every morning. He goes by school bus. His sounds have increased. At times he attempts to say the first letter of a word. Like 'Ba' when he sees a ball. But he has not has any meaningful whole word yet. At times he talks to himself. It sounds as if he is saying something but it is all gibberish. But he follows directions very well for a three year old. He is 3 years and 5 months. I could not get the Tub 1M here in USA without prescription. So my father sent it from India. THat is why it took sometime to get the med.
Please advise what I should do next.
 
bhow123 last decade
please repeat tuberculinum 1m once every month for three months only.

come back to me after about 6 months and tell me if your son has become a normal child or not.

Hi

I have given 2 doses of Tuberculinum 1M till now ( 23rd Feb and 23rd March). No improvement in terms of speech so far. Also , recently ( about 3-4 months) he is getting white marks on his finger nails. But if I give him Zinc supplement (5 mg) it goes away. I do not know if this matters but just thought of informin gyou. HIs recptive language has improved remarkably. He can follow directions both at home and school.Now if only he starts talking.... He is 3 years 6 months already. Please advice.
 
bhow123 last decade
please dont worry, if the remedy has worked, his talking will also be fine in due course..

wait and watch and try to speak to him as much as possible.

AS I have said I have given two doses of Tub 1M onFeb 23rd and Marh 23rd. Rohit still has not spoken a single sensible word. He still vocalises by making sounds like ba, da, more vowel sounds. But he follows directions well both in school and at home.He does not have tantrums and is easy to manage. He points at things he wants us to know or to give him. He is toilet trained and can use the pottty chair on his own for urinating. If he wants to have Bowel movement, he lets me know through gestures. HE is starting to recognise many alphabets, numbers, colors, shapes, animals, fruits, etc. Can point to them if we ask him. But he does not make effort to say the word. Should I continue with Tuberculinum 1M . Please advice.

We hv finally been able to get the meds and I hv started giving them to Rohit. He is now 4years old. His receptive language has vastly improved over the past 6 months. Also academically he is doing well. His constipation is gone with th ehelp of Sepia prescribed by a homeopath in Kolkata. But his speech is still not there. He does say string of consonants and vowels like 'ta ta tai ja a e oo ada di diaaa'. He does this constantly . But if I ask him to say a meaningful word, he does make an effort now. He moves his mouth. But the funny thing is he does not make the sounds then. For example, I know he can make the sound 'j'. When I ask him to say 'juice', he moves his mouth but does not make the sound then.
On emore question. R19, 26, 45 contain lots of ingredients. will they hv any harmful effects? Please revert

Hi Arun,

The remedies for the child on this thread would not necessarily be
the same ones your child needs.

Have you been going to a homeopath for your child?
