Dr. Sameer, Need Your Help for Daughter!
Dr. Sameer,I need you to kindly look into the case history of my daughter and suggest some remedy for her. It is a long read, and I apologize that I could not present info in shorter form.
My Oldest daughter. 8 years and 4 months. Has a brother - 6 1/2 years, sister - 4 years 5 months. Is in 3rd grade.
Existing Main problems: Has frequent urge to urinate. So even after she empties her bladder, she still feels like there is still a drop about to trickle out.
Also feels very thirsty at night time and drinks about 1 cup of water at a time in huge gulps.
I usually stop her from drinking more than that but she keeps asking for more.
Previously the case was discussed at the below link. Dr. Mohla has suggested CherryPlum and Mimulus.
There was a dramatic improvement initially. And the problem had abated for several weeks. But the problem is back again on a everyday basis and seems to be getting worse as she is getting irritable with the problem.
And I gave her the same medicine but it is not helping her as before.
http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/193365/
She says her nose is blocked, and that she breathes through her mouth. (She had enlarged adenoids(X-ray was done) when as a kid and would breathe through her mouth. Also had sleep apnea, where she would wake up with a snort in the night because of breathing difficulty. The doctor in India had given her a steroidal nasal spray to shrink the adenoids instead of removing it (2007). After that the problem was better.)
The doctor in India has cheked her nose to see if any polyps, but said none present. Anytime her nose gets blocked and she starts her mouth breathing all her problems seems exacerbated.
Or I am not sure if her mouth breathing is due to her feeling anxious.
Headaches - usually in her forehead, but these days right above her right eyebrow. But sometimes says it is wandering. Complains of stomach pain too.
Developing a LOT of learning problems. Usually very poor with spelling. Spells the same word different ways on the same page. Has problem remembering maths facts like 1 hour =60 mins etc.
Not able to focus her mind on solving problems. Recently got an 'F' in math! Does not understand the written instructions well. Also misreads what is written a lot.
Before when she was 5-7 years She could understand math concepts immediately after I explained to her. But these days it takes all my energy and several repetitions of the same lesson to get her to make a little bit of progress.
Very shy. Probably the quietest in class. Has 1 or 2 friends, plays well with them when we are around.
Social anxiety. Example: Recently while she was returning from school, we learnt someone was throwing a surprise birthday party at her brother's friend's house (same apartment complex as ours).
She has been to their house several times before too. My daughter refused to come into the house initially. Then she refused to come near the table where the cake was about to be cut.
I had to coax her to get her near the table. Her behavior was very puzzling as she seemed very upset and was sulky. She did not participate in singing the birthday song.
Her first reaction when she has to go to inside someone's house/ or participate in something new which requires her to be with other people,
her first reaction is to run away.
She just manages to nod when someone asks her a question.
Does not meet people's eyes.
She recently ignored her sister's friend(4-year) who wanted to say bye to my oldest daughter. Finally she managed a wave of her hand without even looking at the little girl.
Seems a little jealous of her sister at times when her condition is not good.
My daughter is flat footed.
Almost always has some pain bothering her. The pain is wandering in nature.
Worries easily.
Does not share her feelings easily. Holds onto her hurtful feelings.
Puts herself down when not able to something. Or when someone does better than her.
Gets bossy at times with her brother and sister.
She loves to make up stories and draw pictures that are almost based on her own imaginative story.
Some History and Notes: Apologize if info is repeated.

Also
- complains of blocked nose
- Breathing through the mouth, especially while asleep.
These two are recent developments after exposure to cold weather and eating icecream, and I think I have a suspicion that the other problems have increased due to the above two problems.
Thanks for looking in on this, Dr. Sameer!
God Bless!

Thank You, Dr. Sameer! I will wait for your reply.
Also a few more things about my daughter:
- She does not like to lose. Is she loses like a Wii game more than once then she starts to get sulky and sometimes starts to cry that her brother is winning more times.
- If she wins, she likes to then tease her brother/sister saying - 'I won - you lost, ha ha!'
- Low self-confidence.
- Does not like to 'think' while solving problems. She likes to remember the answer if it was already solved, or try to guess it.
- Plays with her kids only after much familiarity.
- Does not go out of the way to make new friends. Although I can see she likes to have friends.
- She puts herself down if she cannot do something with negative labels.
-Also is understanding by nature, and when I am sick she takes care of me by giving me pillow, playing with her sister in a room so I can get rest etc. Also consoles me if I get upset about something by hugging me/ rubbing my back etc.
- Attached to her father. Cannot bear it if he goes away somewhere a long time. She keeps checking the time and asks when he will be back.
- I checked her nostrils, and I can see the walls of the nose inside are kind of swelling and the gap for air is constricted.
Thank you once again for all your time, Dr. Sameer!
I really would like a constitutional remedy for my daughter to help her be balanced, and enable her to function normally around people, and bring her out of her shell. Also I hope the learning problems will get resolve themselves as well.
God Bless!

No problem, Dr. Sameer. Will look forward to your response.
Just a quick update:
- My daughter refused to wear her costume for school parade. Her response was mostly in whining, and crying. Also she started saying she had stomach pain (her constant refuge when she doesn't want to do something), and other pains which is usually wandering by nature.
_ In the morning when her father mentioned it she was almost ready to wear it (another thing that I have noticed: she is more responds more positively to father's suggestions mostly, for whatever reason)
- After he left she did not wear the costume, and then at school she cried while with me saying she was worried she might get scolded for not wearing it! She is 'very' afraid of being scolded by Teacher, other people etc.
- She was easily startled this morning, several times. She said it was because of a bad dream.
ALso another point to be noted:
Because of mouth-breathing she has receding gums on her front teeth. Also rippled effect on the enamel.
The gums seems a little swollen and also a light pink at places.
Also she is neither fat not too thin. She seems more moderately proportioned with torso length and legs.
She does have a tendency to gain more fat in her thighs and stomach.
She does not seem well coordinated while dancing etc.
This bothers her as she saw her friends(back in India) dancing well to the music during practice. I am not sure if this is due to her flat-foot.
When she is happy she laughs a lot, and plays well with her brother/sister. And she is happy when nothing challenging is expected of her.
I had put her in Taekwondo class for 8-10 classes, and she initially cried so much(A whole day and every day of the first few classes) I was tempted to give up the idea. But then I just told her she was expected to learn it just like her other school work, and did not give in to her lamenting, and then to my surprise she did well and as well in the test given by the Taekwondo Master. This was in July-August 2009. Now she does not go for these classes.
I just wanted to get all little details to help with this.
Thank You, Doc, and have a nice weekend!
God Bless!

Dr. Sameer,
Wondering if you had a chance to look into my daughter's problems?
I just wanted to update you:
- My daughter for the last 3-4 days has not been able to control the urine and has been having small accidents in day/evening time(about just a few drops). Nighttime so far no accidents.
- Today she was crying since she felt like going every time she was done emptying her bladder, and it was really bothering her. I try to keep her distracted by putting on a movie etc.
- She does mention the urge to urinate during morning time, but evening and nighttime the problem is exacerbated.
- She was asking for something sweet yesterday evening.
(She had not asked for 'something sweet' for quite sometime now.)
Hope you can give this some time as I see my daughter crying and I feel so helpless unable to help her.
I don't want to rush you either as I know you will need time to get all the details down from two separate postings. So I will hang in there and wait for your reply.
Thank You once Again,
And God Bless.

Dr. Sameer,
I gave my daughter the doses as you mentioned on Nov 9th. Initially the urination problem was the same for a few days.
Later the intensity of problem greatly reduced. She would mention the problem only once in a while.
Her worrying problem seems to be still there. She had to go to a field trip on 20th friday , her first trip from this school, and on the 19th after she came back home she seemed too excited in a nervous sort of way as she told me about the trip. Later that evening she cried and cried a great deal that she did not want to go to the field trip. In the night while she was calmer she repeated her request to make sure she was on time for the trip several times until I started to feel irritated.
Next morning also she kept repeating her request for me to come and wait near her class until the bus came several times until I had to warn her if she said it one more time that I would not go.
At school after she saw her friend she seemed to be fine. She did not seem worried at all and then she even bid goodbye while walking into class happily!
During the weekend she seemed happy and relaxed and the problem with urination did not occur until the night when she might have mentioned it maybe once. It is an improvement both mentally(although the worrying problem is still there) and her physical symptom - that of frequent urge to urinate - has greatly reduced in intensity.
The problem has not gone away completely though.
She tells me of her bad dreams almost everyday. She will complain of some pain somewhere in the body, which I usually tell her that we will watch it. The pain never seems to occur in the same place twice though. Today morning after she woke up she said that her inside of her elbows on both arms were paining very much, and she could not straighten the arms out. When I tried to touch her arm she started to cry and did not allow me. Then her father talked to her for a few mins and asked her to try somethings out like massaging etc, and she seemed completely ok by the time she was taking her bath although I noticed she was gingerly washing her inside elbows. But later there was no more mention of this problem!
Also maybe on Nov 10 -12 after I had given her the medicine, without any trigger that would bother her, she jokingly said - ' I wish I were dead. I think that would be the best.' And seeing my shocked look she said laughingly 'that's what my brain is telling'. She had never said such a thing before. This really had me worried! Could this because the medicine made the problem worse before it started to work?
Her food habits are okay although she is not eating eggs for breakfast. She loves melted gooey cheese and asks for it. She has not asked for anything sweet. She shows a lot of interest in story writing and drawing pictures.
She is still having problems with spellings.
What should the next step be doctor?
Thank You for all your kindness in helping my children!
May God Bless you and Family!

Dr. Sameer, Here are my notes:
Calc carb 200C - NOv 30th - To report on
Nov 29th: She had a cold yesterday and a feverish feeling. Gave her ferrous phos 6X every 15 mins until her low grade fever subsided. SHe got better the same evening.
Nov 30th evening - gave her calc carb 200C. She went to school.
Dec 1: went to school. cold congestion etc. HAd dinner. Night - sounds of labored breathing. mouth breathing. NOse block.
Dec 2. Early morning: Bad cold. Nasal block, scratchy throat
Dec 2nd Wednesday: Nasal Congestion, scratchy throat in the morning, feeling miserable in morning, spat grey.brown mucous after gargling.
Miserable because of continous mouth-breathing. Feeling feverish. Taking bedrest. Had cereal/milk.
Dec 3: mouth breathing, mentioned once she felt like vomiting
Dec 4: okay. mentioned once before sleeping that she felt like drinking more water....I am wondering if the problems with excessive thirst is coming back?
Dec 5: Mentioned once she had the urge to go again. Told her to think for herself, and not make a habit of asking.
Dec 6
Dec 7: About to mention she had to go, but caught herself, and went once. She does not seem to have the urge to drink water as before, nor the urge to urinate.
She seems fine when coming from school and also as the evening approaches.
Still shy, not sure what to say, but her extreme response of running away from a situation that causes her to be anxious has gone down.
As observed in the party: My Friend's Baby Shower - she wore a frock, she did come in to the hall and remove her coat with little coaxing.
she was playing by herself. Even though she did not interact face to face, she was okay being by herself. She still does not make much eye contact.
Dec 8th: took her for a haircut. Changed from bob below ear length to short boyish cut (I wanted a Diana cut, but it turned out that way.) The haircut due to lice infestation.
The problem was severe enough that it needed immediate addressing. Gave her a 10 min hair soak after shampoo with one of the lice medicne from CVS and rinsed it out.
Next morn, she seemed fine, and also fine with the comment that she looked like a boy from her bro and sis. At school her friends made the same comments and she was fine she said to me later, while coming back from school, and she said she 'liked it' when others made those comments about her.
I am not sure if she liked the attention or if she liked being different or if she was trying to put up a brave face about the whole situation.
At home she was fine. She ate and did her homework, and then about 6:00 pm she first mentioned that she felt that she still had a drop of urine that was not coming out.
I told her to continue with her homework, but she decided she had to go again, and after she came out, she still felt the same.
And she seemed fine after that, and was playing with her father. I had to go to satsangh, and when I came back she was fine. But before bed time, she drank a lot of water, gulping it down fast.
She also had the same feeling of urge to urinate just before bed. And also wanted to drink more water. ( maybe it could have been due to the restaurant food she ate with high sodium content, yet something told me that the problem was back) I just stayed with her until she went to sleep.
I am not sure the problem resurfaced if :
- due to the new haircut and all the comments/attention she got at school, and if she suppressed her emotions...
- the lice medicine antidoted the calc carb,
- due to another situation that happened a few days back where she was trying to apply nail polish(the first bottle bought upon request from my youngest daughter 4yrs) to her brother's eye lashes(she had already applied it to her sis's forehead)
and then her father scolded her and stopped her(I wasn't there, and when I came home I started to scold her too and my husband stopped me saying she already was scolded by him)
- or if simply the calc carb's effect diminished with time.
I really though that after the really good response to calc carb 30C, that she would have a better response to 200C lasting atleast more than a few weeks.
But when I look back at my notes, it looks like it started to go downhill Dec 4th onwards very gradually.
Please instruct me as to my next steps Dr. Sameer.
Appreciate all your help so far! God Bless You!
Thank You!

- due to the new haircut and all the comments/attention she got at school, and if she suppressed her emotions...
- the lice medicine antidoted the calc carb,
- due to another situation that happened a few days back where she was trying to apply nail polish(the first bottle bought upon request from my youngest daughter 4yrs) to her brother's eye lashes(she had already applied it to her sis's forehead)
and then her father scolded her and stopped her(I wasn't there, and when I came home I started to scold her too and my husband stopped me saying she already was scolded by him)
- or if simply the calc carb's effect diminished with time.
I really though that after the really good response to calc carb 30C, that she would have a better response to 200C lasting atleast more than a few weeks.
But when I look back at my notes, it looks like it started to go downhill Dec 4th onwards very gradually.
Please instruct me as to my next steps Dr. Sameer.
Appreciate all your help so far! God Bless You!
Thank You!

Sorry forgot to mention,
Dec 9th: She also said her stomach hurt, Well below her belly button and seemed like just above her bladder. And she had the feeling she was going to vomit. She had said the same in the morning too.

Two questions:
1) So, is her mouth open during sleep ?
2) What times of the day is she at her worst in terms of mood if you have noticed any such pattern ?

Also, what about mental state since 200c Calcarea Carb, do you think there is improvement there?

Dr. Sameer,
Sorry about the delay in replying.
Yes her mouth is open during sleep. And I think emotionally she has been doing pretty well and I can confidently attribute it to Calcarea Carb. SO the sulky, resentful, weepy, negative person seems happy mostly when I observe her.
Dec 11, 12: Before bedtime - Drank water in huge gulps and wanted more. Went into sulky mood for a few mins when we had a visitor, and because I asked her to change her old pant which she has turned into an art work(rainbows in front), with the line 'kick-me' at the rear (sigh!).
She had mentioned to me several times in the past that she was scared that her blood will get thicker with less water in her body and that is the reason she wants to drink lots of water. I remember being persuasive with my son, long time back, who goes without drinking water for long periods, and had mentioned that people get tired easily without water in their system as the blood gets thicker.
This idea has kind of gotten 'stuck' in my daughter's head I think, and that could be causing her to drink lots of water (in huge gulps) at night. This problem does not occur during day or evening time. Only before bed.
Dec 13: 4:00 PM: She had an episode of the urge-to-urinate-not-going-away problem. Happened much earlier than than the before bedtime! She visited the loo and wanted to go again after 5 mins. I stopped her and tried to distract her. Then she got into her whining mood, and when we stepped out for a walk, she told me she was feeling really hungry. She had had her lunch of moong dhal - veggi khichadi just an hour back and hence I was surprised. I usually give them milk around 5pm. But she wanted milk earlier.
That is pretty much it. She has been really happy, talkative, most of the time. She has been complaining less about her body mostly.
One thing she did mention was that her hip pained(one side) when her brother was playing with her and he climbed her back. She had mentioned hip pain (hands akimbo position) before too. Just thought I should mention.
Please advise next step Dr, Sameer.
Looks like maybe the effects of calc carb wearing off?
God Bless!

Dear Dr. Sameer,
A Very Happy New Year to you and Family! God Bless You All!
I waited longer than the 1 week you asked me to, as my daughter was fine mostly, and there was no consistency to her complains. There would be an occasional weepy/whiny or sulkiness. She would also mention the need to go more than once mostly just before bedtime.
But since the last 2 days her condition is slowly aggravating. She mentioned that she had the urge to urinate this morning something that has not happened before. Also also last evening she started to weep in the store as her li'l sister playing with a balloon ignored her big sister when she was asked something.
Also she was anxious.worried in the morning that she would be late for school even though I assured her she would be on time. I could see the intensity level of her worry was more than her usual.
So hoping you would kindly suggest a treatment to help her again.
Thank You for all your help!
God Bless!

I think it is time for the Calcarea Carb 1M dose.
Dissolve 2 pellets in 120 ml spring water, and give a teaspoon.

Dr. Sameer,
I am sorry about the delayed posting.
I wanted to update you on my daughter. I gave my daughter the Calc Carb 1M Feb 2nd. For the first 2 weeks there was an aggravation in her behavior. She would whine more, cry easily etc. But after that there was a marked change in her behavior. She was doing much better in her coping skills. The frequent urinary urge(She feels she still has a urine drop that is not coming out) especially during night time never went away.
But it happened less frequently, and she would listen to me when I consoled her and then would shift her attention to other things.
She has caught a cold since the last 2 weeks, and she got better after the first week, only to get sick again with congestion and cough.
Currently she has a cough that seems to come in violent short bursts. It is sometimes painful to hear that as it had a sharp sound to it. They are mostly dry cough. She had left ear pain this morning and woke up crying. Her father gave her steaming and she felt a popping sensation which was painful to her. I gave her ferrous phos to help fight any inflammation. She stopped complaining about it. She was okay for the most of the day, but the coughing started again after she had a bowlful of strawberries.
Last night she once again had started complaining of 'not feeling well' and she felt like vomiting and had a headache. The way she said it made me feel like it was not due to the cough and cold but it felt like her old symptoms had come back.
This evening she said she did not feel like going anywhere and started to cry when we all wanted to go out. She wanted to stay home. But when her father teased her a bit and convinced her she was okay again and came with us willingly and even enjoyed the drive, and said she did not want to go back home.
Tonight she said she did not feel hungry anymore to eat anything...But then she did have a bowl of dhal soup.
It looks like she gets upset easily , and then she feels better in a very short time.
The frequent urge to urinate is continuing. And now she has the cough. with maybe the beginnings of an ear infection. She complains about an 'itchy' throat that makes her cough, and gargling with salt water she says does not help as the itchiness is way deeper.
Can you please advise Dr. Sameer?
Thank You! Appreciate it so much!

Dr. Sameer,
This morning my daughter still has the cough and says the top of her head hurts whenever she coughs. Her throat feels itchy.
There is no phlegm when she coughs but there is the sound of a congestion in her chest.
Emotionally she is doing okay. She is playing as it is spring break for the children.
It is raining here in Torrance, and it does not make it any easier to deal with the colds and coughs.
I will keep you updated about her symptoms.
Thank You.

Dr. Sameer,
My daughter's two teeth on either side of the front two has not come out even after many months after she lost them (3-4 months or more) She also was late to teeth as an infant and her first teeth appeared only when she was 14-15 months.
- She still has a cough (short bursts) that gets worse sometimes. But there are long periods when she goes without coughing.
- She says she feels her left ear feels blocked. That was the same ear where she had pain a couple of days back.
- She complains of the food like boiled eggs, being sour sometimes.
- She simply refuses to talk on the phone to her friend from school. She says she is 'shy'. I try to do play-acting as her friend on phone to help, but this has not helped. She is completelt averse to talking on phone.
- She still has the feeling that a drop of urine is not coming out. And she sits on the toilet sometimes for 5 mins or more trying to get that last drop out.
- Her underwear sometimes has a dark grey patch and smells considerably, even after I make sure she wears a clean one everyday.
- She is mouth breathing at nights, and I can see her jaw moving up and down as she draws air in through the mouth.
- There is some bleeding in gums and her gums look swollen above her front two teeth. Gums also have receded a bit and her two front teeth look huge.
_ The enamel on her front two teeth does not have the shine as though it is worn out, and her teeth gets yellow and does not shine up even after brushing.
- She has a tendency to feel jealous when I show her sister / brother love, inspite of the fact I give her a lot of attention and am quite expressive in my love to her.
- She loves to draw pictures, or engage in making art/craft things. And also loves to write stories. It is as though she is talking on paper, and is productive.
- She does not want to read books though and I have to remind her to read as well.
- She loves talking pretending her hand is a hamster and does a lot of baby talk while playing.
- She has been mentioning words like 'death' while talking to her sister and also writes li'l notes on which it says she will be a traveler when she grows up but may never come back home.
- She has been noticing how other 'skinny' girls look and how asked me why her thighs were so fat. Even though she is not obese or even simply 'fat'.
- Right now, she is playing well with her sister and brother.
Is there a follow-up for calc carb the remedy she had had last that would help her complete her teething?
Thank You for looking into this, Dr. Sameer!
God Bless!
