Hi Zady,
She had fever all day today, so my gut feeling is that Nux is not helping here. That is the reason for my previous queries and asking for 'the game plan'... the treatment plan going forward.
I posted the case on the forum as I was seeking help. I was not trying to challenge your professional judgment but to understand the treatment as a concerned family member.
I appreciate all the help rendered, however if you feel challenged and don't want to help further you don't have to reply to my post.
Thanks for all the help.

In my humble opinion, fever of unknown origin always points to Tuberculosis miasm.
On a day when she is not having fever, please give her only 3 doses of Tuberculinum 200 every 2 hours in the same day i.e. 7:00am one dose, 9:00am one dose and 11:00am one dose.
Then after those 3 doses, watch and wait for improvement.

Hi Jerry,
Thanks for your reply. You may be right as this has been brought up earlier too.
When initially this problem started a homeopath prescribed her Tub 200 followed by Calc Phos, the Tub was repeated a few times and did not show any changes. Again, bacillinum was recently given but not seen any changes so far.
Tuberculosis miasm might be there although nobody in the family history ever had TB but both these remedies/nosodes have not shown any changes, so my concern is if there is anything else we are missing. Allopathic doctors have not been able to pinpoint on anything either, could be something very minute but nevertheless the fever is there.
Thanks for the help.

You could give her as a supplement Children's Probiotics from any Healthstore or Pharmacy.
Probiotics will strengthen her immune system and make the Homeopathy remedies work in her...... especially the ones that hitherto do not seem to have been effective for her although the remedies were strongly indicated as per her subjective symptoms.
Probiotics may turn the tables to your child's favour. It will strengthen her immune system.
In my practice in Malaysia, I prescribe Probiotics along with the indicated Homeopathic remedy to all my patients to speed up the healing and enhance the efficacy of the remedy. This is because in Malaysia the pollution levels are horrendous. We live in a Haze environment. In Malaysia even whole aeroplanes can disappear in thin air! LOL!
A note about fever:
Fever is not a disease. It is an attempt by the immune system to put things right. If there is any pathogen in the body the fever will kill it.

dear rajan
I have gone through your case and feel that the following points need to be addressed:
1. evening fever
2. feels better outside
3. knots in the neck
4. congestion of chest
5. wants to keep body and head covered even in summer.
6. absence of sweat
The first four symptoms are common symptoms and therefore not of much importance . The fifth and the sixth are characteristic and indicative of remedies which in this case is Psorinum. The preferred starting potency is 1m but this being an internet forum I would begin a little lower at 200. One dose at bed time. No other medicine. No sour food or drink.

Hi Jerry & Telescope,
I have started her on very good probiotics so that aligns with your suggestion. However, the true reason I started her on probiotics was that she was given extremely strong antibiotics by her physician to just eliminate any hidden infections not shown in blood work etc. The antibiotics did not do anything for her but only to have her system mess up with semi loose bowel system where probiotics are definitely helping.
I am thinking to start her on a dose of Nux Vom 30 to start eliminate bad effects of the antibiotic... not sure if this is the right thing to do.
Her chest CAT Scan came out to be clear, however, sinus CAT Scan indicates mucosal thickening of the sinuses, I can send the report if needed.
Thanks
Rajan

You can give her nuxvomica two or three doses to do that. Meanwhile please let me know whether your wife never had any sweating or it got suppressed sometime in the past. Your wife has congestion in many parts which might be the result of such suppression.
♡ telescope 9 years ago
No she never had any sweat, very rarely she will get sticky feeling, this is the maximum level of sweat she gets.

Well a major breakthrough in terms of fever. Somehow getting rid of old carpet in the house has helped to get rid of the fever... hope the fever is gone. This is inline with what Simone has been indicating to me that something in the house may be affecting her and even though the right medications may be taken but not getting the results.
Her congestion is extremely bad, Nux Vomica in 30 & 200 potencies did not help. It would give her severe headaches & no benefit in terms of stuffiness & congestion.
I gave her Cimicifuga 30 which was also initially prescribed but is not helping... may be the symptoms are not the same.
So the current symptoms are listed again:
Extreme stuffiness in nose, having a tough time breathing through the nose. Sometimes the congestion is so extreme that she says that she cannot even swallow. She feels something in both the ears but finding it hard to explain. Her lips are all dried up.
She snores in the night, you can hear weird vibrating noise from the nasal passages and the snoring wakes her up and disturbs her sleep. Her mouth dries up in the night also and the dry mouth makes her drink water in the night.
She has been blowing nose with difficulty and thick white nasal discharge comes on blowing the nose. Now she is saying that she has started to get watery nasal drip.
She feels cold even in normal warm 80deg temperature, head feels cold and mentally tired/exhausted because of congestion. She is wearing a warm head cap to provide relief. Warm/hot drinks make her feel better temporarily.
I think her nasal discharge is a good sign as she never used to get this but need some help/case management from you guys to handle this. I don't want her ending up taking regular modern medicines and messing up her case again.
On another note, she continues to use the Hepa Filter as recommended by Simone sometime back. She is taking a very good Probiotic daily but if she does not them then she gets loose/watery bowel movements first thing in the morning. This is the side effect from the extremely strong antibiotics taken earlier.
I think we are on the right track but need your help.
Thanks for the help

Hi Rajan,
I would start her on Kali Bich 30c,
take 3 doses to start with -6 hour gaps.
If she gets worse after dose one or two
stop and report. Otherwise report 24 hours after the first dose.
Take 3 pills and dissolve in a 1/4 cup of water. Stir up. Give her a tsp
for a dose and have her hold in her mouth for 20 seconds before
swallowing.

Hi Simone,
Thanks, gave her the 3 doses of Kali Bi 30 as directed. No change observed so far.
Seems that her patience / strength to continue to suffer with this bad congestion is running out. She is also doing saline solution and steam twice a day. One thing to note is that when we were getting the carpet removed and getting things fixed, she was exposed to a lot of dust... don't know if that is also a contributing /lingering aspect/factor.
Thanks for all your help.

Hi-
Try this-
Cell Salts
Kali phos 6x, Nat Sulph 6x, Silica 6x, kali mur 6x
3 tabs of each ( 12 all at once) Start with 4 times a day.
Report after one day.
----------
When the carpet was removed and work being done-
exposure to that dust makes things absolutely worse for
people.
Especially if she has any mold allergy and there were mold
spores in the carpet that got released. What is done is done,
but they tell people who have dust allergy, mold allergy -
to not be there when the work is being done or at least be
in a fairly sealed room with the air cleaner.

Hi Simone,
She felt better in the morning and could even smell for few seconds but felt no change in the afternoon in terms of congestion. Now in the evening she feels better in terms of congestion and her head also feels lighter/better.
Please advise.

Hi- just keep doing the salts. They rebalance at the
cell level. You can do the salts for 3 weeks on, one week off if
needed.
As long as she is improving with them keep doing them
and report after 4 days.
Best,
Simone

Hi, the sinus congestion continues to be bad...no change / improvement observed. Has not been able to smell or taste even for few seconds like before/recently.
The fever had been showing up 98.7deg F in the late afternoons for short time, now today it is 98.7deg F early in the morning...so hope that it does not get worse during the day.
She continues to cough all night which disturbs her sleep.
Please advise.

Hi Rajan,
excuse me if I have asked this before, but I do not
want to go thru the entire thread right now.
Has she been skin allergy tested?
Has she ever had the allergy shots done?

I think you should do that.
It is very quick, they put the substances on the skin and within
minutes the skin will show a reaction of things you are
allergic to. Sometimes you go one time for pollens, dust, mold
etc and then again for foods- maybe you can get both at
the same time. But you will have the facts then.
Then they give you the allergy shots containing tiny amounts
of the substances so that your body develops immunity to them.
I think at least this will reduce her sensitivity.
The only other thing I can think to rule out things is
go stay somewhere else for a couple days and see if these
problems diminish- if they do there is more going on
in your house.

Thanks Simone,
I will get her tested but it will take some time, long process .. so I will continue exploring homeopathic remedies. Also will be on the look out if anything else in the house makes her worse.... definitely cleaning up is in the process to eliminate any reminiscence of the previous pollen etc. in the carpet.
I did take her out sometime back and the symptoms did not change.
Thanks for all the help.

Hi- Well it is not really a long process
-
all you do is make the appt and can
get it done the next day. Even with health
insurance- ppo you can make the appt
with allergy dr. and Hmo go to the main
dr. and get referred to the allergy dr. Sometimes you can write in and just say
I need this done- and you don't have to see the main dr.
I have done appts for my family in all three ways and got it done in
in a couple days.
Good Luck, maybe someone else can help- but it would be good to know
what the allergies are- and then figure out your house if it seems likely-
bc when you are in this much of a problem you really have to get away
from the cause if it is an ongoing cause.

Rajan,
just to be on the safe side, I would go
to moldcheck.com and order the mold
strips. This is an easy way to see if there
is any 'hidden' mold in your home.
The strips sit out and will collect a spore
count- if there is a high spore count in
a room- then you know that room has
mold hidden in there.
