Broken nose I yr old

Hi! My baby boy broke his nose a few weeks ago and he still has lingering swelling across the bridge of his nose. And if he hits it at all (eg. runs into something) it puffs up even more. Any help to clear that out would be much appreciated.

He is:
big for his age
fair complexion
seems not to learn from mistakes (falling from chairs, for example)
hits ppl and things with his head if he gets upset
When he cries out of real sadness or pain his eyes get really dark and *full* of tears
emotionally he likes to be connected to ppl- simple eye contact goes a long way
demanding and gets into everything, but I think that's normal 1 yr old stuff
likes to sing
likes to put things away (dishes, etc)
can eat lots of food, especially bananas, but often will reject healthy fare
right now he has some runny light green boogers

Thank you!
P.S. I haven't been here in a while and miss the community- hi everybody who's helped me before!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.

Please give Arnica 6C,4 times daily, 1/2 pillule crushed. Also apply Arnica ointment externally.

sahai last decade

also symphytum 6c or 12c will help the bone heal. give 1-4 times daily, reduce/stop with improvement.

In my humble opinion, it is a case of injury to bone not amounting to crack or fracture. I had, therefore, planned to give Ruta(for injury to bone) after extracting the maximum from Arnica. But if you advise, I can prescribe Ruta in alternation with Arnica, now itslf.

sahai last decade

your opinion is worthy not humble and your suggestion of the ruta is also worthy. the main reason I suggested symphytum alongwith the arnica is that symphytum is for bruising (skin and bone) where there is very little flesh over the bone, so it treats bone bruises and skin bruises - it is one of the best remedies, for example, for a 'black eye' even tho there is no fracture.

Please treat the child as per first two suggestions. Give Arnica twice daily alternated by Symphytum twice daily, that two of each daily. Reduce the frequency as improvement sets in.

Erika and Sahai-

Thank both of you kindly for your help!

Would arnica 30c and symphytum 30x be sufficient substitutions (those are what I have at the house)?

Thanks!

There is no remedy like Symphytum when it comes to the healing of the bone injuries, fractured or not.I have profitably used it in hundreds of cases of bone injury.Always with one result which is perfect healing of the bones.It doesn't matter which part of the body is involved.As long as a bone or multiple bones are involved, Symphytum would always heal.Symphytum 30X is all right.Also make a solution of Symphytum Q (mother tincture) in a cup of water by adding ten to twenty drops of the medicine to it.Then soak a cotton with the solution and apply it to the injured bone three to four times a day.

Yes, you can use what you have got.

sahai last decade

Thank you Rajivprasad and thanks again, Sahai. I will let you know how it goes with my baby.

Rajivprasad, I ran into a heavy door with my nose a few months ago (yeah I'm really coordinated!) and it left a little hard bump on the bone onf my nose- would your regimen of symphytoum used externally help here too?

Also, I am using little pills instead of liquid-- can I make the tuncture using the pills in the water??

Thanks,
Rebecca

External application of Symphytum Q(Mother Tincture) in a water solution would definitely help in your injury.But you would also need to take Symphytum 6 or 30 or 30X (which i suppose you have in stock) daily three times a day. No, the potentised pills that you have cannot be used to make the mother tincture.Mother tincture is raw, in the sense that it is not diluted and succused as the potentised remedies are.You need to buy Symphytum Q from any homeopathic medicine shop.For the lump on your bone, you may also need Heckla Lava 3X or 6X later on.But first try Symphytum 30X internally and Symphytum Q externally.Also take a few doses of Arnica 30 to remove any gruises on your nose.

Dr Sahai,
Would Symphytum also help in the case of my child who injured his heel while kickng in Taekwondo. Then followed a series of twists and bumps on the same foot. I gave Arnica for a few days, but even after 3 months he complains of pain when he's wearing his socks. I don't know if its muscular or bone related.

anjuverma last decade

Is the pain felt only during the process of wearing of the socks and not before and after that(during rest, during walking)? Where does he feel the pain. Did the pain go away after a few days of treatment by Arnica and it has started again after a gap of 3 months? Details will help diagnosis.

Please address me only as Sahai.
