Kind attn Dr. Evocationer could you kindly take up the case of my child _{Page 3 of 5}

Dear Dr Evocationer,

I washed my daughter's hair after about 20 days. It's my experience that if she has any residual cough or cold it gets worse.

The weather was quite warm today. So as she was almost out of the cold I took a chance and her hair and used hair dryer. But by evening I noticed some nasal discharge after a while her cough was stuck in throat. She became very anxious about vomiting. Then due to the anxiety her jaw started ticking one nostril was blocked the left one. Then she coughing phlegm could be heard while coughing. Temperature did rise from 98 to 98.5 stopped there and went back to 98.1. Then she was back to normal in about 20 minutes.

But her chest below her neck has whistling sound sometimes while inhaling as well as exhaling. Mostly while exhaling.

She has missed her nap today and was tired even considering that she has not much sweat on her head.

Also she is coughing about the same even though the weather is much much warmer now. Do you recommend to get her allergies tested? We do have prescription for that. Kindly advise if it would help if we took her to ENT specialist to take a look.

Thank you.
Sincere regard

Dear Simone,

Thank you for getting back. Sure we would go ahead with getting allergy tests first.

Dear Dr. Evocationer,

Belated wishes for a happy Easter!
I think my daughter might have developed allergies as pointed out by dr. Simone.

I did some research on the web and read that a leaky gut or gut permeability is what causes milk allergies.

I have noticed (this was not the case 5 months back) that she's fine at first then something happens then she has a dry cough then she wheezes and after that has phlegm which moves and clears out.

We are vegetarians and our cultural food habits are such that we always have milk and yogurt as an integral part of our diet. My daughter loves to have yogurt.

We went to an indoor water park where she played in the water for about 4 hours and did fine.

The previous day she had about two glasses of milk and for lunch she had
Flatbread stuffed with potato and lots of plain yogurt with it. She reacted cough was stuck and developed cough by evening coughed at night too.

Today afternoon she had lots of yogurt. I was wary of feeding it to her but she wanted more. Afternoon nap she had snoring and laborious breathing and sleep apnea kind of thing.By evening she was wheezing wheezing went away but lot of cough.
I did not give her yogurt at night she slept 80% better.

Can I give her probiotics over the counter culturelle would it be okay to give her that?

At age three she got strep they gave three different antibiotics as the strep did not go away. The final one was very powerful the doctor said it would wipe out all bacteria in the body and asked to give probiotics.

She started having urination problem if she had sugar. We somehow avoided sugars and got over it.

We did give her for a brief period but she was doing okay and has lots of yogurt so we missed to continue. She was doing good and we visited India there one of my in laws infected her with a cold. I tried homeopathy for 3 days but it did not work . I sadly went to allopathic doctor. He gave antibiotics. I waited before giving it to her but had to give it.

In January again gave azythromycin for suspected pnuemonia .

Do you suggest eliminating diary for two weeks and reintroducing would work or you think allergy testing is very reliable. In any case we are going to schedule the tests.
But kindly let me know what you think.

Thank you and most grateful for the help.

Kind regards

Bumping post to make it easier to find

Good morning Dr.

I would like to watch her one or two days more and get back to you.

Forgive my being a worrier and making it hard by putting confusing and too much information.

I have my own psychological issues which if I resolve will help my child too.

I have been considering this for sometime to get constitutional remedy from you.

I have tried but I am not doing a good job as a mom. I need help.

I am posting my case kindly help me and put me in the que there is no hurry. Off late the number of cases coming to you are increasing.

Most gratefully

Good morning Dr.

I checked with my daughter on each of the below.

General energy - good. 90%.

General mood - 90%. But I would like to mention that she had a relapse in symptoms after the recovery of the previous sinus attack.
Brief episodes of cough getting stuck and tantrums and crying. Ignoring sweet requests to take nap. Finding silly reasons to cry in the middle of the night upon waking at night. These were not many and probably could be attributed to bad sleep quality and also could have been handled better by me.

I was being a bad mom not wanting to let go of the brief spell of the good kid that I had seen:(. I was starting to get tired which I shouldn't.

Friends at school - she says in November she had only 1 friend. Now she has 6 friends. It's 70% compared to 30% earlier. In fact as per what I think she's more opening up and interacting freely with her teachers and having fun.

I have scheduled a meeting with her teacher to have a feedback. It's scheduled on Thursday the 16th.

Sleep 50%
Waking after sleep 70% - Yesterday she did not sleep well as she was moving a lot. Had blocked nostrils. I expected her to be irritable but she was very happy cheerful chirping and energetic.
Depression feelings - she don't have any right now. 95%
Cough - 0% improvement it's the same compared to the starting of the second dose.

Wheezing - 90% better compared to beginning of homeo treatment. 30% better after second dose I think. But chest has congestion and some phglem always.

After the recent attack of the sinus and recovery I have yet to go through a day of exceptionally quiet lungs. I had this experience after the first dose even though she did cough on and off.

Sweating - had seen reversal of sweating along with the tantrums - could be due to me stressing and shouting at her.

Then she had a severe episode of nausea on Thursday night. She kept on saying her cough was stuck and then she said she feels like womiting. Panic and then jaw tremor. Then the whole body shaking. It was for the longest time since November. But only good thing is she did not develop fever. That night her pillow was soaked up like before.

I'm guessing it's either the food that I gave her from the refrigerator or unpeeled raw carrots or sesame allergy? I'm planning to give her same hummus which has sesame and see how she does.

Next day she was fresh as new.


Mouth open during sleep - still breathes through mouth 0% improvement.

Dry mouth - no dry mouth. 100% better since start.
Hard skin on palms -100% better since start.
Blocked nose - 0% improvement since last dose. Since last cold/ sinus her nose has not been clear for even a single day. Though not runny it's just blocked alternately or both.

Eating/food issues - 100% better since start. Eats healthy like herself loves healthy food.
Eating on her own - 50% better does half a meal a day herself. Drinks milk and has breakfast in a jiffy. Which has made 100% difference compared to before.

But she is particularly not interested to sit and eat. Wants to play at that time. Don't want to finish eating and then play forgets her food. Even when hungry Ok this improved but I saw this problem along with reversal of symptoms. But I'll try to reinforce this for anything from a snack to a meal eat and then play. Would like to the let you know for sure that if it failed.


Toilet issues - Now she is in a good state and out of reversal. As of today 70% improvement. Couple days in reversal mode - she made us clean every single time.

Because she seemed to be doing well I told her I won't be doing her cleaning anymore as she would go to kindergarten and need to practice. :) surprisingly well received. Today she cleaned up every single time with no forcing or pushing from us.

Pale complexion - 90 % better from start. Pink almost every single day. No peeling of lips and I have long ago stopped all vitamin supplements.

But after Thursday night big episode of nausea next day she was noticeably pale lips had dry flakes which improved very quickly.

Dark under eyes 80% better from the start. But still has because of night breathing issues and stuffed nostrils and mouth breathing during day and night.
Corn on toe - still there. 20% better may be doesn't hurt that much but bigger in circumference. Lost its pimple and there's a tiny whole in its place and looks like a typical corn.

Trembling of jaw - 50% better. Not many episodes and it goes away. Most of the time it is accompanied with the cough being stuck in throat.
Thursdays episode was long and her whole body trembling she got worried and was asking why am I shaking.

Stomach ache - none 100% improvement they are gone.

Bowel issues 0 % improvement. Not a big issue. But I think unless she eats heavily or drinks a lot of water or has lots of fiber she does not go. Then her stools are balls. Sometimes stuck and need effort to pass.

In the morning upon waking she may pass stools rarely but most of the times they are only little and balls.

Thank you very much.

Most gratefully

Bumping post to make it visible

Both nostrils are blocked and she has difficulty breathing in sleep. Experiencing waking and going back to sleep constantly. This is about the 3rd consecutive night. Without a runny nose but blocked nostrils with snurring sound of some fluid in nose.

I have noticed she is moving every 3-4 minutes. Noisy breathing. Before going to bed she did remark that extremties feel hot.

Sure. Would give her the silicea one dose tomorrow morning.

Thank you very much

Baba108

Updating the status. Gave the dose of silicea on Monday night 04/13. Nostrils are still stuffed up and trouble breathing at night.

Best regards

Good morning Dr.

Today she played outside in the evening running. Exhibited very good energy levels no couging while running.

The weather wasn't very warm there was wind chill and temperature was 60f. She was wearing only two thin layers of cotton shirts. I was quite cold without a jacket on. But she did okay but was breathing through the mouth as both nostrils are still congested.

She had moderate nasal discharge which reduced by evening. She did not need any wiping while at play.

Yesterday night she was moving a lot with difficulty getting air even with the mouth open. I told her keep mouth wide open and breath which seemed to work but was quite noisy.

Today right now breathing through the mouth moved every 30 minutes I think. She's breathing through mouth but not very noise but a little bit laborious. But much better than yesterday.

I wanted to let you know that I sm giving her probiotics - culturelle. Stopped giving her milk and yogurt from today would do so for 10 days and see how she does and try to reintroduce.

Kindly advise. If you think it's okay to give her the probiotics. She will have almond milk instead of regular milk.

Best regards
Baba108.

Thank you very much for quick response. Her breathing is much calmer now.

I am also giving her broccoli and bananas prebiotic stuff.

Today morning and also yesterday while having milk she complained of very same brief tummy ache.

I need to mention that she has had tummy aches on various occasions and frequent urge to urinate if she had sugary juices during 2013 summer. After that she had tummy ache on eating candy on empty stomach when hungry. Had continued stomach aches while passing stools after recovering from cold and fever. Indigestion as stools had undigested food. Feeding bananas set that right.

It was spring 2013 when she was administered amoxicillin for strep when test came positive. Also as far as I can remember it was first time I observed head sweats even though she had low grade fever. The not go away then was given caphlax it did not go away. Then they gave her clyndamycin and the pediatrician mentioned that it would wipe out the bacteria completely. Upon asking how will the gut flora environment re attain balance. She didn't have a proper answer but advised to take probiotics.

We went for the antibiotics for being scared of other dangers of untreated strep. Which is quite scary.

Can strep and other infections be effectively treated in homeopathy?

I have many times used ciprofloxacin for strep as I used to get high fever. It used to recur.

I myself have overcome strep couple of times without antibiotics in past couple of years. I used to get it in India got an onset in 2014 dec but just checked it with rest and vitamin c. I have read scary things where people have said they got skin rashes appear and spread everywhere after they recovered from strep without using antibiotics.

Thank you very much.

Best regards

I forgot to update about her teachers feedback . I had met with her teacher.

Her teacher remarked that she's very bright and is very verbal. She always is very excited about show and tell and has a lot to say.

But one thing she said is that she is carried away I her thoughts in context though but sometimes misses what the teacher is saying which could be a problem in a bigger set up.

We as parents knew this and went for a school which had 6:1 ratio.

She is not shy and approaches other kids and is very sharing.

She likes open ended projects where she can do her own thing.

In their school they greet the child everyday when they go in their class by their teachers. Her teacher said every single days she says she's great and happy to be there.

-----
I wanted to add that my kid loves toys and can't hear us asking to go home. It's as though she's in a different world. Very absorbed while playing and she can't take her attention away even for a moment.

Which is changing now. Watching also she has hard time responding and can't take her eyes off. These things are improving.

Most grateful for reading through.

Baba108

Just making a note here.

Afternoon she was depressed for small things and then woke up from nap and was complaining for silly reason and crying why its cloudy and wants the sun. Afternoon it was sunny and she was out but kids were not at the park to play. May be she really wanted if to be sunny. But she did seem very sad there was no sun.

Night she had the tummy ache and it was not mild. May be she got scared her jaw was ticking. I told her to not do it it stopped. She distracted herself saying lets watch tv as that's what we do when she gets it. Her tummy was still aching. She pooped. Still aching I gave her banana ate it then aching stopped. She did poop again.

Now her nostrils are clear. Nostrils started clearing up since morning. Her lungs are very quite and she is sleeping well. Small gap in the mouth. Sometimes is able to sleep with mouth closed.

Today is second day after stopping all diary from her diet. She's taking probiotics regularly.

Best regards,
Baba108

Cough was stuck for a long time. Which is actually tightening of upper chest and throat. She then had a bit of salivation and was worried about vomiting. Jaw ticked briefly but she could control it with deep breathing.
Then she went to toilet. Stools were not very formed and frothy. She went 3 times.

Nasal congestion gone sleep quality very much better but sleeps with mouth open. Can hear Air Force in and out of the mouth quite Loud but not snoring or noisy.
Extremties feel hot.

Every time cough is stuck she does go to the toilet. At night on the days of this kind of episodes wakes to go to pee and would have peed a few drops in her pants.

This was never happened when younger. Toilet trained at 25 months. Almost never peed in bed.

Good morning Dr.

Wished to update that my daughter has a reversal of symptoms.

She has been wheezing near her neck in the upper chest and coughing at night since the past 2 days keeping her awake at night. I applied Vicks vaporub to help her sleep. She also coughs now in the afternoon naps which wake her up.
There has been no let up with her nasal congestion. She sleeps with her mouth wide open. Quality of sleep is not good.

She is again stopped responding started ignoring. Cries on waking up in the afternoon saying I'm not around. We fought this afternoon unfortunately because her unresponsive ness was getting on to my nerves and we fought. She sweat a good amount during her afternoon nap. She also sweat yesterday night. But I don't remember fighting with her yesterday ok yesterday she had to wake up during nap hLfway coughing woke her up. May be tired very much so she sweat.
She complains of cough being stuck at night at around 10 o clock.

Kindly advise further. Very thankful for the help.

Sincerely
Baba108

Dear Dr Evocationer,

Just wanted to mention to you that pregnancy with my daughter was stressful and not happy experience. After birth she did okay but almost never slept through the night without waking at night till almost 3 years of age. Then I talked with my husband and put her in our bed even if she wanted to be put to sleep in her room. She would not go to sleep by herself. I had to be by her side till she fell asleep. Then put her back to bed till she gets back to sleep if she went to the toilet.

I'm writing to you because I read a case of a three year old boy who wakes up and asks for toys at night.
My daughter did the samething.and before she could do this at below one year she would wake up and cry every hour. Be up in the morning by 6.00 with full energy.

I havent slept well in years now. It's 3.50 in the morning.

I'm waiting desperately for her to get back to health.
Sincerely
Baba108
