Request Dr kadwa to prescribe: 9 months old cough, phelgam and constipation.

Hello doctor, request you to suggest medicines for my 9 months old son for the following ailments.

1).He is constipated since birth. I have tried all medicines to give him relief but his constipation is still the same or even worse. He passes hard stools with sheer difficulty once in 3-4 days.

2).He develops gas in his stomach and will cry endlessly,
Gas develops for both the reasons as the food is not digested properly or he has not pass stools.

3).He had viral some 15-20 days back, now he doesn't have fever and cough but mucus is not leaving him,i could hear his blocked nose,wheezing and mucus filled in chest, this disturbs his appetite as he vomits phelgam while eating meals and sleep as he is not able to breathe properly.

Other information about him.

He passes small amount of urine frequently.

His fontanales are still wide open and filling very slowly.

His physical development is slow but mentally he looks okay. He has just learned how to sit(at eight months).

He has not gained any weight since last 2.5 months.

His birth weight was 3.3 kgs and his current weight is 7.4 kgs.( not increased since January)

He was breastfeeded exclusively for 6 months after that we started giving him solids with mothers milk, no supplements givwn to him so far.


Request you to prescribe for him.

Thanks.

Hello Dr kadwa, would like to update you my sons condition after taking prescribed medicines..

Alumina 30- its been 7 days he is taking alumina 30 and he is no more struggling with gas problem, he tummy stays soft, he releases gas after taking meals (earlier he never released gas) and burps too but he is still constipated as he passed stool today after 5 days.

Sulphur- I have him only for 2 days as his phelgam was cured completely with no more bouts of xough and cold after that.

He did developed few rashes initially which got recovered on its own.

Kindly suggest if I have to still give him sulphur and continue the 7 day course.

I have one more concern which I would like to share with you my son is 9 months and he only eats liquid puree type food, if I put a grain of rice in his mouth he will vomit it immediately, if I thickens the puree he will refuse it no matter how hungry he is.it seems he has difficulty swallowing or he is short of saliva, he has 4 teeth but I never saw him drooling..his mouth stays dry.
I am okay to wait for some more month for him to start accepting solids but wanted to know if this is a medical contion which needs treatment.

Kindly suggest next course of action.

Many thanks.

Hello doctor kadwa,
Wish you a very good evening.

Would like to share my sons development with you post taking remedies and also need your guidance how to move further.

I gave him alumina 30 for 7 days and nux vomica 30 for next 7 days.

It's been 3 days I have stopped remedies...he did fine when I was giving her remedies with absolutely no gas trap in stomach with mild constipation...

Last night he again developed gas which bothered him for about half an hour during sleep and then he passed gas and slept again.

His bowel movement are again 2-3 days apart, hes constipated and passes hard stool, but he doesn't strain much to pass stool now as compared to his earlier situation.

His fontanals are closing now faster than earlier but still wide open for his age. Size of his open fontanals must be bit bigger than rupee coin.

I gave him alumina 30 for 7 days and nux vomica 30 for next 7 days to address his gas and constipation problem.

He is thriving and enjoying life now than earlier he is a happy child now... still there are few ailments which needs to be addressed and I need your help.

He did fine when I was giving him remedies with absolutely no gas trap in stomach with mild constipation...

It's been 3 days I stopped medicines. last night he developed gas which bothered him for about half an hour during sleep and then he passed gas and slept again.

His fontanals are closing faster than earlier but still wide open for his age. Size of his open fontanals must be bit bigger than rupee coin.

(New development/concerns)
I went to his pediatrician for vaccination and she found him to be lacking in meeting his milestones as he was not able to crawl, he sits but he falls back, he doesn't stand and not able to carry his own weight...she suggests me to meet a pediatrician neurologist for the same..

We met pediatrician neurologist and she found him a case of general hypotonia (low muscle tone) she did referred us to physiotherapist to learn some exercises to develop his trunk muscles so that he can take his weight and do rest of the activities.

In case he doesn't show good result after these exercise we are advised to do lot of blood tests, eye tests and MRI(brain) to find the real cause of the development delay.

This doesn't seems to be a genetic defect case as None of our family member has such problem, me and my husband both are intelligent so is our siblings and parents. Ours is inter-caste marriage, me and my husband are not related in any ways.(neurologist did asked about it hence thought of sharing this with you too)

I need your help to suggest me remedy for him so that he can develop good muscle tone and can meet his milestones, hes otherwise a perfectly normal baby, he recognises our voices, his name, passes toys from one hand to other, he plays with his elder sister, plays with us. Walks on a walker, sits for a long time and play.

Also do I need to do anything further to address his gas and constipation problem, kindly suggest.
Waiting for your response.

Please give him Alumina 30 in morning and Nux Vomica 30 in evening for 7 days. Parents should not panic about noises made by modern medicos on developmental delays. Everything gets right in the course of time.

Respected Dr Kadwa,
Greetings!!

i would like to update you on my son's condition and needs your advice to move further.

1) Its been 6 months i am giving him alumina for his constipation problem and it used to help him relieve gas and pass stool easily, since last 15-20 days i am observing that alumina is not helping him and he cries out of gas badly. i did stop it for 10 days but after that also it did not worked, suggest what should i do now to treat his constipation.

2)On his development part- he is 15 months now, learned to walk recently, but not able to chew or bite anything, he still take puree type food, no rice grain, no banana, no soft food....can i do something to address this, i discussed this with my gaynecologist and as per her there might be a sensitivity issue in his throat. they have suggested me to go for various tests to check that, i have not done any so far.


3) his fontanells are still 1-11/2 finger wide.

His pediatrician asked me to give him vitamin D supplements regularly, can i give him some supplement in homeopathy as well. (instead of vitamin D).

Awaiting your response.

Regards

Please give him Bryonia 30 and Nux Vomica 30 twice a day for 5 days and see how that affects. You can have a gap of an hour between these two remedies.

Respected Dr Kadwa,
Good Morning,
Would like to share development of my son development with you after giving him Byronia & Nux Vomica for 5 days.
Initiallly i did not observe much difference but since last few days i found him much active than before, he is passing stool every alternate day and not straining much.
I need your help again to deal with his cold, which he is struggling with since last one week.
- He has wet cough with lot of phlegm & his nose blocks at night which makes him uncomfortable and he cannot sleep.
- If he touches me I feel his hands are hot but he doesn’t report any fever on thermometer.
- His appetite has reduced from three meals to two meals in a day as he is not able to eat his full meal in one shot and we have to feed him in small quantities.
- When his nose blocks, he develops gas as well, his stomach become very tight, and he cries endlessly.
- He is otherwise normal and not very dull.
I gave him a combination of Belladona & Num-vomica for initial 2-3 days with no major development, On the 4th day I gave him Pulsatilla two doses in a day- not much improvement is seen and I gave him single dose of Hepar Sulph yesterday (he was almost fine in morning after taking single dose of Hepar Sulph 30).
Since he catches cold at night as our bedroom is quite cold, I put heat blower in our room to comfort him, it seems it doesn’t work well with him and he vomited thrice.
Since its December and usually cold and will remain same till January end I need your suggestion on how to deal with it, I have extremely bad experience during these months of the year.
Kindly suggest remedy for him so that he can survive on this weather without much difficulty.

Respected Dr Kadwa,
Good evening,

As suggested by you, i have given Anmmonia 30 to my son & most of his problems are addressed except getting regular bout of cough & cold.

I want to give him Dulcamara now as advised by you.

I have Dulcamara readily available with me in 200 potency, can i give him that, if yes please suggest the frequency.

in case 200 potency is not suitable for him i will go and buy 30 potency.

Awaiting your suggestion.

Dr Kadwa,
Good Morning. Wish you Happy New year, may you keep healing and recovering more and more patients every year.
Need your help for my son conditions.
He has fallen sick every week since last 2 month, he was catching cold frequently for which i was giving him combination of Bellendona & Hepar sulph, and he was responding to the medicine.
Ear infection: He had an episode of ear infection in September last year(5 months back) which came back again & same right ear started leaking pus, he had such a bad cold that his eyes were also leaking pus kind liquid. We took him to nearby hospital where doctor examined him and gave Antibiotic (augmentin), painkiller (ibugesic )& Sinarest for 7 days, he responded to medicine and recovered.
Teething: His last set of molars are coming & he was sucking both his thumbs and was drooling like faucet, not for a minute he was ready to take his fingers out of his mouth.
We went out on 13th night (for an hour) as we had to celebrate lohri festival & it seems he catched cold again, from14th evening he started coughing & his condition started worsening with each day....
High Fever: He had high fever which was touching 103-104, ( i initially thought its because of teething.) but when it did not go after giving paracetamol for five days. We took him to doctor where we did blood test & found his haemoglobin is 8.8, and other things on CBC like dc, poly were on margin 60% whereas normal range is (40-60%) he was on edge, same is blood lymph count 38% normal range is (20-40%)
Since he was catching cold repeatedly & he is a milestone delayed child, his iron levels are low & he is badly constipated, doctor asked us to remove cows milk from his diet because of lactogen & give him some soya milk from immediate effect.
Doctor also observed chest congestion & prescribed Asthalin Syrup and Nebulization. paracetamol for fever control. its been 4 days i am giving him medicines except nebulization & his fever is not going, his nose is still blocked & his fever also comes back , i could hear loose phelgam always when he breathes.
To me he has not shown any improvement after taking medicines for 4 days and his condition still remains same. I am yet to give him nebulization & I will start it now.
On Constipation: Only Alumina helped him for continious six months, you suggested Byronia & nux vomica, i could not see any major difference, his poops are 2-3 days apart, tight, blood stinged, he cries badly before passing stool & shakes and vibrates when he passes stool, It takes him hours to pass stool, and at times it got stretched to next day also. it is very painful for anyone to see such a small baby struggling to pass stool and crying with pain. :-(
His other deails, He is fair complexion, thin boy, his head is perfectly round and small, big black eyes, sharp nose and thin lips, ( i have read physical appearance also helps decide remedies).
He is 18 months+ & weights 10+kgs.
He is otherwise okay & not very dull, only when his fever rises he became crancy & when i give him medicine, he became normal. his appetite is reduced to half but he shows he is hungry and need food, but when i give him food either he refuses or he is not able to digest it and he vomits.
Since you have always given me confidence to deal with difficult sitution and have given remedies that worked for my kids, I need your support again.
I dont know if i am asking too much, but i am sure if you see my son once you can treat him in no time. Can we meet you personally for his treatment.
Thanks.

Respected Dr Kadwa, Good evening.
It’s been long I have interacted with you, Hope you are at the best of your health & spirit.
I am continuing the old post of my son as it is easy to relate the past events.
I am concerned as he is doubted for autism based on the symptoms he shows.
His paediatrician had referred me to the occupational therapist and his OT therapist has not given me any detailed report for him on various scales so far. (she wanted to observe him for some more time before she concludes anything)
I will share my own observation about my son which will be close to accurate and will be in layman language.
His age is 23 months, weight 12 kgs
1). He doesn’t know how to chew, he lives on khichdi, or very soft dosa that gets melted in his mouth and easy for him to swallow. (he loves to eat our food and I do give him very small pieces of chapatti, paratha or vermicelli which is easy for him to swallow, on that also he has vomited on many occasions).
2). He bites like crazy, his teeth are so sharp that whenever or whoever he bites they start bleeding. He does it when he is excited, happy, during hugs also, he will go to his elder sister hold his hand and bite her in no time.
3). He doesn’t point things, he will hold me and drag me to place where he wants to go, like dragging me to bathroom if he wants to bathe. Or he will bring his milk bottle to me if he is hungry and want to drink milk, if milk bottle is filled, he will not lie down and drink on his own...he needs assistance.
4). He learned to wave bye when he was approx. 7-8 months … now it’s been a year he doesn’t do that.
5). In past, when he was just 4-5 months he used to cry with his elder sister, if she is crying he will cry for sure…now that is stopped, no matter how much she cries he doesn’t show any emotion. Also, when she used to come from daycare he used to show happy emotions…now he doesn’t show any emotions…but when I play his favourite cartoon he is happy.
6) he learned to walk long back and still walks like a new learner. he cannot take a step on staircase on his own either he has to hold something or someone or he will take a crawl position, come on his knees and then will get down cautiously. (he has a fear of falling down). He can move up stairs crawling.
7) When he is excited he opens his hands fingers and tights them in a claw-like hand/knuckle position and in the same way open his mouth and tightens his jaw.it appears as if he is feeling too cold. (both hand and jaw movement happens together).
8) Earlier he was doing lot of hand flapping and spinning, now that has reduced.
9) He hides himself under the table 100 times in a day, he covers his face from his hands many times while watching cartoon, when a new person appears or when we go out or before the lift door opens.
10) He loves to lie down of floors, he will get up in morning, get down from bed and lie on the floor which is too cold for his age for 10-15 minutes after that he gets up and starts playing with his toys. He lie down on floor many a times in day.
11) His eye contact was bad but after we started his occupational therapy it improved to 50%, when I play with him or sing rhymes his eye contact is at best, otherwise he tries to ignore.
12) He doesn’t answer to his name, and will behave like a deaf person until there is something which is interesting for him.
13) he doesn’t want to play alone he wants me to play with him all the time, in case I am busy with kitchen he will bring his toys in kitchen and sit on floor and start playing on his own.
14) he has this habit of bringing his hand close to his eyes and watch them, turn them and watch them again, same he does with toys as well, he sees all the toys left right centre for long time and repeatedly.
15) He plays with many toys and doesn’t have any favourites, he love new toys, and has the curiosity to see how it works.
16) He rarely plays with his sister and tries to avoid her most of the time.
17) He used to babble and did said mama, ma, papa, dada, and then all in one sentence like mamapapapapdadaddada now all stopped.
18) he loves to flip pages of baby board books but doesn’t know whats inside, fruit, vegetable, animal nothing, if I try to read book to him he gets irritated.
19)he loves to put his finger into something that has small finger size holes, could be a block of a lego game, he will keep his finger inside and keep moving it round and round.
20) He was highly constipated till two months back and his constipation left him like a miracle, now he poops daily or twice a day, I doubt, after I introduced lemon and tomato in his diet this happened, but not sure.
21) I take him to Occupational therapist where they play games with him and they said he plays nicely. If they told him once or twice he will understand the game and start playing.
22) he is a very cautious boy, so cautious that he will not take step till he is sure he will not fall.

Past problems:
Earlier I have consulted you for his severe constipation, open fontanelles and cough and cold.
You have suggested me combination of alumina, nux vomica, and sulphur earlier.
I have hope for him as he shows result if I make effort with him,
Request you to guide me and suggest remedy to improve his condition further.
Regards

Please give him Cuprum met 30 twice a day for 5 days and see how that affects over 15 days.

Respected Dr kadwa, Good Evening.

I gave my son caprum met 30 for five days, after first dose for initial few hours aggravation happened..he was running here and there in house, he did attempt to bang his head once on wall when he was not able to climb up the grill as I was pulling him down and he got angry, I could make out this aggressive behaviour is purely the impact of homeopathic remedy given to him sometime back. By afternoon he was fine and stable and started connected to us in a better way. In a days time he started responding to people around him, which he never use to do earlier, I take him to park every evening, where he never use to see what other kids are doing, now he was looking at them., if someone says hello to him, he looked up and smiled in a shy way,(he started responding), once I remember I called his name and he immediately looked at me(certainly a miracle, this was completely missing earlier), he started playing with his dad was bringing a baby goggles and wanted him to wear repeatedly, my husband also realised that this boy has changed all of a sudden. He started playing with his sister too,

I forgot to give him his last dose that's fifth day evening dose and he wake up at night crying for no particular reason and then slept again after 10-15 minutes, from seventh day his classic symptoms started coming back like hand flapping and spinning, by 10 day he started gazing at his hands again, today is fifteenth day and he made a claw like hand in morning today(which he hasn't done in last fifteen days,no claw like hand,no knuckles).

Before remedy,he used to wake up crying and used to remain on bed, someone use to go and bring him out, when he was on remedy he surprised everyone and come out of room on his own without crying.

(His occupational therapist mentioned he has vestibular input problem and has given me lot of activities to do with him. According to her his vestibular thing is impacting his auditory and visual input too which further hampers his intelligence levels.)

Those five days when I gave him caprum met was the best days in terms of his behaviour and connection to environment. Very close to a normal child but certainly delayed in many areas.

Kindly suggest way forward.

Thanks and Regards.

kadwa 6 years ago
Respected Dr Kadwa,
Would like to update you my sons response to caprum met 30.
I started his 10 days course on 4th July till 14 th July.
He had few aggravations initially but overall he responded well to remedy. I can confidently used words like Mind blowing and Miraculous change.
He had severe cold, earache and teething problem last month...I gave him hepar sulph 30 ( 3 days morning evening) and chamomilla 30 ( three days evening only) to control his acute problems. this happened after i finished course of cuprum met.
Detail elaboration on his response.
He was making a lot of claw hands and knuckles which is gone completely, his hands turned soft and relaxed no sign of stiffness. and he didn't make claw and knuckles even once in last one month.
Earlier he used to lie down on floor and never explored anything around, now he is exploring so many things, touching, mouthing and then again touching from feet (like walking with it), every five minutes i find him engaged with something new and different.
He is trying to speak (babble) and does make different sound ..which he was doing earlier also but regressed and had not spoken/babbled any word since last few months.
Now when i call his name, In 70% cases he did responded by looking up or turning his face, (which for me is a big development as earlier it was close to 0%)
He has become expressive and tries to communicate in his own way for example he was playing in room and had a fall, he got hurt somewhere around mouth, when i reached to have a check on him he was crying, came running to me, touched his mouth repeatedly to show he got hurt here, then he immediately went back and touched table thrice and was trying to tell as he got hurt from table...in his on way he told me what happened.
Remedy effect did last for 20 days and from beginning of this month i did observed his symptoms are coming back slowly, he has started stiffing his hands , I found him dull and not exploring things the way he was doing earlier, he has started spinning and i spotted him twice doing that, he is gazing his hands.
Few new symptoms has also seen from last week, he is pulling his shirt up and hitting his tummy hard, this he does many times in a day, also he has stared looking from the corner of his eyes.
I can say from 4th July to 4th August he had a good time, he was happy, relaxed, exploring things, was getting involved with us and was enjoying his life, now slowly his symptoms are coming back and hindering his development.
Kindly suggest next course of action.
Many Thanks
