help doctor! My daughter is always sick
About two years ago,my daughter was sick with salmonella and it took us a very long time to get rid of it. In this time, she suffered from many things--fevers,chills, diarreah, constipation, vomiting, gastric problems, swelling, earache,mucus. The symptoms would dissappear and then return every two or three months.Today, her stomach symptoms are gone, but she is having problems with the ear, throat and nose. Also she has become lactose intolerant.
She is a nervouse child ( 11 years old), shy sometimes, and when she was a baby it was very difficult for her to sleep. And since she was a babay she has been prone to getting sick. It seems like she´s sick every three months. Help! What can I do?

Ok, I will try:
- Since she was a baby she has preferred sleeping uncovered, even if its cold. But she is prone to getting sick if she doesnt wear a sweater in the morning. But she does prefer open air. And we live in a very hot and humid climate. She loves swimming but she doesn´t like taking showers.
- She has a mild disposition. She is very spiritual and can see through peoples emotions very easily. She does very well with her friends at school and at gym class as well as with her family. Shes very shy around strangers and never looks at adults when spoken to. But in school she is very popular despite being shy. She tends to hunch.
-
- Her main problems are that she has illnesses that dont heal easily but are re-ocurring. Her main problems are, I think, allergies. Runny nose, stuffy nose, ear aches, headaches, stomach ache, lactose intolerant, itchy dry skin. Her nose has been a constant problem since birth.
- She hates waking up early( 6:30) and she is usually groggy in the morning. I think her best time is between 4 and 9:30. She is usually in bed by 9 or 10. But her stomach aches or ear aches usually happen after 7pm.after supper. Her nose is an all day thing.
- I think that she was born with a weak immune system because she tends to be ill frequently. But the fact that she had salmonella (and brucella) has weakened her stomach more. Also, the fact that we live in a house with a very large garden full of flowers and plants and fruits, and we have two dogs and two cats. There are a lot of allergens around her. Besides, everyone in my family has had allergy problems. And I mean Everyone!
I also think that there is an emotional situation involved there. She tends to keep her thoughts to herself and i know that a 'friend' at school( her cousin actuallY) tends to make fun of her and put her down. And for my daughter this is a big thing because she would never do that and second--she isn´t too good at defending herself.
- Drink: I have a very hard time getting her to drink water. She just doesnt. She doesnt like hot drinks either. She prefers lemonade or juices. But she has a huge appetite. She is a hearty eater and loves meat and cold cuts.
-
- She is thin and small for her age yet her bowel movements are weak. She tends to get constipated.
- She will move around if there is a need to. She has two hours of gymnastics class a day and she does very well. But around the house she tends to be lazy.
-
- Well, her nose is always giving her problems-- it goes from being stuffed up to running all the time. She produces lots of mucus. A lot of times she has to sleep with her mouth open. Sometimes this is accompanied with sneezing. She also has earaches that disappear and then reappear every so often. Weve already tried with two pediatricians and no luck. At this moment she also coughsbut theres no pain in her throat all though sometimes she gets hoarse.

Hello, thank you for answering.
She is doing much better, thank you. The only problem is that her gastric problem has reoccurred twice, usually when she has something with a lot of grease. Her stomache hurts and she feels like throwing up.
Aside from that, everything else got better.
Should she continue with another dose?

Please give her three doses of Pulsatilla 30c at a gap of 4 hours for only one day (not daily).
It is better if she could avoid foods that she can't tolerate.

While treating with homeopathy, I strongly recommend the book by Carolee Bateson-Koch 'Allergies disease in Disguise'. Please get this book and read it. You will find a lot of answers. This is must read for everyone, especially for the parent whose child is always sick.

Where can I get this book? I live in Mexico. Thank you for your help. My daughter has not been sick again. May I ask about my other daughter?
vanilla27 last decade
Thank you.
My daughter is 14 years old. She has a problem with --i think--toxins.
She is slightly over weight around the belly and suffers constantly from cough. Apparently her cough is only at the throat level ( not lungs) but her cough is uusualy dry ( in appearance) because she can´t expell the mucus. When I giver her herbal teas , the cough becomes more mucusy. But usually in sounds like her throat is compeletly closed from what i think is mucus that is stuck in the throat oand/or a swollen throat.
SOmetimes it is accompanied with throat pain, sometimes it itn´t.
She tends to have bad breath and her tongue is usually white.
She gets mad very easily. She doesn´t like to go out with friends and even though she is very funny and highspirited, she tends to stay home alone, watching tv and eating. She doesn´nt want to exercise.
She has always suffered from skin problems--almost sice birth.
She has had different types of problems on her skin. Today she has some white spots on her skin ( she is dark skinned)some on her face and some on her arms. Her skin also tends to stain easily, so when she has an injury or a mosquito bite, the stain doesn´t dissappear.
Also, she cant wear earring. This is terrible for her. She has tried many times with silver, gold and plastic rings and they all make her ear swollen and full of mucus and pain. She really really wants to wear them but she just can´t.
She never used to take naps and now, in recent months, she takes long naps en the afternoon.
She is addicted to sweets, especially sweet bread.
She is a very disciplined person, very responsable and sometimes she can be bitter.
When she is in a good mood she is very bright, smart and funny.
Thank you for time and caring pacience.
Sincerely
Claudia Camberos

I forgot to mention that she has a difficult time falling asleep. When she is falling asleep, she jump alot, her legs and arms have spasms and it is difficult for her to fall asleep. She says she never dreams.
She prefers cold weather. We live in a very hot climate and she feels better when It´s cloudy. She prefers open air. At night she covers herself up to be able to sleep byt then when she is completely asleep she can be uncovered when it´s very hot, like now.
She is not a morning person. She can get up easy, but later ( like during the morning) she feels sleepy.Evening is her best moment.
But lately she feels tired and she says she feels very sleepy, like she can´t keep her eyes open during the hottest hours of the day.
i think a causative factor could be infection she has had. Especially, like her sister Tyfoid.
But also, her menstruation that began last year.
She is never thirsty. She forgets to drink water, but she prefers cold drinks to hot drinks.
She is trying to be a vegetarian and tries not to eat meat products except for some fish.
Her bowel movements are normal.
Thank you again

Well it has been a week since she took the medicine. i just want to say that her skin condition is worse. Her arms are full of white blottched of little goose bumps. next to her lips she developed a sore, like a herpes sore. and her face is full of pimples. I guess this is a good thing??? At the beginning she had an excess amount of mucus in her nose and in her throat for a few days then it went down and is back to the same thing( amounts as before).
Her skin has become a little yellow too. She has more energy and is more awake and is now exercisising. Her humor is changing, sometimes she is in a depressive state.
Another thing that worries me is that she is not content at all with her appearance. She sees herself as ugly.And she doesn´t do anything to fix herself. And she doesnt allow me to help her. i bought her some make up and she wont use it.
Shall we wait one more week or shall i give her more medication?

Doctor, many of the symptoms are still present. The bloated stomach, the blotched skin, jumping when she is falling asleep, the white tongue, the problem with using earrings. Should I give her another dose of Nux Vomica?
