Childrens immune system

Hello, I am looking for a help to my children. My older daughter is almost 5 years old. A year ago she first had sinusitis,and now it repeats every 3-4 times a year.It all started when she was 10 month old with runny nose and cold.then she had problems with nose every 2 weeks, until summer. When its warm her health is wonderful.She had also bronchitis, laryngitis. We are using homeopathic remedies for already 4 years with some breaks.No we had sinusitis for 2 weeks. She feels fine now just one hole(left one, it is always more problems with left one, and then when we have scan we see liquid in left cheek ) of the nose is blocked, no liquid inside, but when she blows I can see wind from one hole, and from other one nothing. what should we use to unblock nose?
The start of her nose is always like this coughing 2-3 days before, then blocked nose, then runny nose with pure liquid, then green or yellow pus, and still blocked, and then again runny nose, but always blocked.. Sometime she is able to blow her nose.
Her blood always shows infection, virus not bacteria.
Please advice. How to unblock now dry nose, one hole.
And how to strengthen immune system?
Also when she come from kinder garden she brings viruses, and so little one 6 month gets sick. From 2 month it was only problems with runny nose,now we had bronchitis. How to strengthen her immune system also?

Thank you very much for replies!!!!

P.S Also about older daughter she some times have watery eyes, her palms are sweaty st home, she is afraid of cold weather, and rather stays a home. She very sensitive, doesnt want much to attend kinder garden, afraid to sleep alone, doesnt like fruits only apples and bananas, she has very white skin,also she sometimes has smell from her mouth, and when she goes to WC her stool is one time a day and little peaces like little balls, sometimes she is lucky and she does it normally.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Please give your elder daughter three doses of Calcarea Carb 200 as follows and report back after 15 days (only 3 doses in 15 days).

day 1 morning
1st dose

day 1 evening
2nd dose

day 2 morning
3rd dose

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 2 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 2 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 15-20 minutes before or after taking medicine.

Thank you for your reply!I am sorry, but we dont have Calcarea Carb at home, so I ordered and just next week I will get it. And the way it looks is in small little balls, usually our doctor says take 5 balls to 5 year old and give every 15 min 2 hours, then every hour, then 3 times a day.
But as we dont have this remedy yet, her nose changed, now its not dry but some times a bit wet, not much, she can blow clear substance, total water..But just tiny bit.she can breeze better. I dot get it is it continuous sinusitis, or it new virus, but nothing else happens.
Also her torque has little wound, like little scratch on left side on the edge, its not stomatitis, but she it hurts and she cant drink apple juice.She started to cough 2-3 times in the morning like very dry cough and thats it.

Please give her the remedy as suggested after it arrives and then report back. You shouldn't repeat it often as your doctor suggests.

I can see what you suggested, but still what do you call a dose? Our remedies here look like this and so how should i give it to her? Thank you in advance!

Dose size doesn't matter in homeopathy. When you repeat a remedy the repetition matters.
So one pill every day for five days is a very intense dose compared to 5 pills only once.
One pill or 5 pills doesn't matter. This is unlike western medicine or herbal medicine where the dose is set in mg like 25 mg, 50 mg etc.

Dear,

We got medicine just today, but now her condition changed again, its 5th week, and today she got runny nose again.. Blocked, sometime she is able to blow, now it is more blocked and more liquid goes from right one side, sometimes is water, sometimes green with water but a bit thick.. Also her cheeks are red, the right one is more red and very hot. Should we use the same remedy as you prescribed? also how fast to get better? her birthday is on Sunday:( also her eyes are watery now.No other symptoms.
Please advice urgently!!!
Thank you very much!!

Sinusitis and most of the allergies develop only due to the lack of exposure to the sun and sea water.
Most medicine will provide the timely cure but will not completely eradicate the problem. If you happen to live near sea then start taking her out. And if you can teach her how to swim. Then tell her to swim in seawater and dive in seawater too. This may seem silly but you will be able to clear her sinuses naturally with seawater. The green mucus is the result of bacterial infection of sinuses. Nose blockage is also the result of inflammation of sinuses due to the infection viral or bacterial. A white mucus discharge is due the viral infection and the green is due to the bacterial infection. This is a simple treatment and she will be able to get rid of sinusitis. Remember be careful with the sunbathing. You can search google and find the right time for sunbathing in your country.
Never use panadol
Never eat eggs when in flu
Never use herbal remedies to stop the flu.

Sorry I forgot to mention that allow her to eat guava as much as she can.
 
aizure last decade
Calc carb is a deep acting remedy and there will be some indications of this remedy in your child unless her peculiar symptoms become much characteristic.

Please answer what papaya does, how it helps for immune system or sinusitis?
Also why cant we use any herbs? What about fito therapy?(oils) can it be combined?
Can we use vitamin c and some creme for foot with camphor?( it does not weaken homeopathy?)
Also when should we stop homeopathy? when symptoms improve? Or we can use it some time afterwards so in order to prevent other sickness to come.

I also notices all medicine like chemical, homeopathy helps to cure, but how to prevent it? Not to be sick so often, or if we have inflammation to get sinusitis afterwards, as every flu for my daughter ends up in sinusitis. Also every time she sick, the little one 6month gets sick as well.
This time she has blocked nose with thick liquid, and I hardly can breast feed her, as she cant breathe.

Also I noticed that the big one sweats like for 10min when put to bed at night, then it stops.

Dear Dr.
Hello,

Sir my 11 yrs old son is having the same problem since he was a year old. Every now and then he catches cold with fever and blocked nose.He does not have sinus problem only allergy that triggers all these problems. I have taken him to ENT specialist, got his adrenoid checked ,then to the child specialist who always give him some nasal spray with any anti-histamine and if there is an infection, antibiotic. Now his immune system is very weak. His hemoglobin is low.His 2 blood reports are showing elevated lymphocytes, nutrophils and Eosinophils.When ever there is a slight change in weather he gets severe cold with bacterial infection,sore throat and runny nose. In the beginning he gets runny nose then sore throat and finally infection . This time he got same infection twice in last two months. The important thing I want to tell you that I know that his problem is related to Allergy and western medicines have no remedy for it but in last year January I went to homeopathic doctor from Germany. She prescribed him a medicine 'Meditonsin'
after taking this medicine my son did not fall sick for six months and he gained some weight too. because that dr.charges so much money for just a single visit that I can not continue with her.My son weighs about 31 kg. Other than this he is an active chid.The only thing that bother him much is his runny nose which makes him to stay at home some times for week from school, which he does not want. He loves his school. Please help me. I will be thankful to you. May Allah bless you

Please give him Arsenicum Album 30 in the morning and evening for 3 days and see how that affects him in next few days.

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 2 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 2 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

eglej,

If fever is due to taking calc carb, recovery may follow. If it is due to other factors like eating guava or anything else, you should address her fever with utmost urge.
 
kadwa last decade
Thanks Dr.

I will buy these medicines soon and will start giving him the same. He does not drink coffee but I give him tea in the morning because milk makes his problem worse. What about fruits?? just because in flu fruits are not good, therefore, I stopped giving him fruits instead i give him soup, fish, egg , chicken, mutton and beef.
 
AliMN last decade
Dear Dr. Kadwa,

I did not give her any guava, as we dont have it here. Mo rover I dont think any fruit could cause fever:)
She had high fever yesterday, in the evening it fall down. Today no fever, but still nose is blocked, one hole the right one. I appreciate you patience with us and you help. May god bless you.
Please is it possible you t6o answer my previous bunch of questions, and also can we hope recovery?To unblock nose?
Thank you very much.
 
EgleJ last decade
alimn,

It is better to avoid sour fruits during acute cold and cough. You should give your child diet that can be digested easily. Please report back his response to ars alb for further suggestions.
 
kadwa last decade
elgeJ,

Please wait and see how it goes in next few days. If she still has blocked nose after few days, please give her pulsatilla 30 in the morning and evening for 3 days.

Dear Kadwa,

I wrote on your profile that you are follower of veda?I am reading about it a lot, as I cant find piece, and be calm. I will write my concern in the forum later on, First of all I have to make my children healthy. Also my I ASK, where are you come from? And why lord bless you, you help so many people online?How can we re-pay? how can we say thank you to you?
ABout my daughter.

1.she likes a lot water, summer time sea, even when sea is cold... she can dive for hours..But she doesnt like cold weather, I find difficult to take her out in winter and play in snow.

2.She is very educated, and well mannered child. Although she is bossy at the same time, she likes to command younger people, or people she knows well. She gets easily offended when things goes not the way she wants.

3.Well, she used to have laryngitis,cough dry especially at night, and last time she had broncho pneumonia.. She had vaccination of pneumonia, after that( I dont know is it coo incidence but she starter with sinusitis).
Now she has diarrhea for 3 days, and says her tummy hurts after she eats, and she producers smelly gas. But I dont give her anything for that. ( no medicine) As I mentioned before, she goes to wc 1 a day, but usually it is little ball, like little rabit:)Sometimes she does it normally, especially after she drunk a month of good bacteria( lacto and other).
But every time she attends garden she catches some virus, or infection and every such virus regular runny nose ends up in sinusitis, nose problem for 4-5 weeks. Now there is no green pus, only liquid like egg white liquid, nose blocked right, but it varies sometimes right sometimes left. When we go to special doctor for sinusitis, we find that there is liquid in her left cheek, and sometimes her walls in the nose I dont know how you call them get thick.She has 2degree of adenoids, and doctor suggest to make surgery.

4. In the morning when I wash her nose its always green pus. Then usually at night she sleeps open mouth, but sometimes she is able to breathe through one hole, that is not blocked. She feels better outside, in the air, although she doesnt like to go out, but when we go her nose is not running at all, or just a bit.

5.I really dont know. I thought psychosomatic, as she doesnt like to attend children garden, she cried for 2 years, then we changed garden now its better, better teachers, and she is older 5 years now. But she doesnt like it cause they need to go lunch nap, and because they have to do there everything according to rules, she hates rules.she likes things the way she wants to do. but once we did not attend garden for 5 month, she still got sick, but not that often. Now she goes there for 5 days, and 5th day she is sick. then we stay 2-3 weeks home for recovery. At summer she is not sick at all. but summer she also doesnt go to garden.
Maybe her lymph is not flowing smoothly? maybe her immune is low? she was born 7 days earlier, and her weight was 2,7kg.. She is thin, but eat a lot, she has very white skin, and very sensitive, she can even use wc paper, needs to wash, as after wards she has red itchy skin.Her eyes are watery during sickness. She doesnt like sweet stuff much. She sweats first hour when put to bed,then she calms down. But she has bad blood circulation, as we put extra warm gloves, and shoes as she gets cold her endings fingers, and toes gets gold.

6.I have to force her to drink, she doesnt care much, the same with fruits. She doesnt care. she drink tea, apple juice, and water. But always with my control.

7.it is once a day, like little balls. like rabit..But sometimes she has mix, normal and hard little balls. color is normal.

8.She is active, and likes to run, jump.. she doesnt like to play creatives games0 like art, or drawing,always dolls, imaginary stuff. She is afraid to sleep at night in her bed, always comes to us. She creates stories shat she saw a witch or something else. She is very sensitive child also, on the other hand she is bossy. she is brave if I- her mother is next to her.
I remember from child hood always had to entertain her while feeding,or play she is not that type that I put her and she plays and sits in one place.

Thank you once again for you patience with us!
I stopped giving any medicine for now.

Please wait for few days and see how it goes. i think that you should have silicea 30, phosphorus 30, arsenic alb 30, thuja 30 ready with you. We may need these remedies at some time or other depending on her symptoms.

This forum is vibrant and lively due to people like you who seek advice giving good amount of details and also due to the owners of this forum who refrain from coming to the center stage though the temptation is irresistible.

We are connected to one another at a spiritual plane so all of us become happy if anyone of us is happy. Happiness is the greatest reward in itself.

Dear Kadwa,

I understand now where is her fever was on Wednesday, she now has diarrhea since then 1-2 times a day, very smelly, yellow color. And her tummy hurts. She probably got entero virus infection.
Today she was out, playing with snow, with warmest gloves and boots, she came back and her foot and fingers were cold.
I will wait for few days now.
Also these new remedies that you wrote- should we buy them and have them? what does it mean ready with you?( when should I use them?)
I very concerned not only ton treat her sickness, but to prevent it happening so often, or not to have sinusitis at all. is it possible?
About happiness is true, but it is very hard to reach happiness..Not for everyone:(
