Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My son is 6 years old and weighs 53.79 Ibs. He develops common cold quite often. I am also worried as dengue is spreading around my community and I would like to give him some medication which is preventive in nature. I would like to know what is the best medicine regime for my son to prevent dengue.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Eupatorium mother tincture (Extract of Common boneset plant and Ethanol) is definitely a good choice of preventive remedy for dengue. You may give him 5 to 7 drops of this remedy mixed in half a cup of water once a day as a preventive medicine. If he has milder symptoms of fever or body ache then it can be taken twice a day. Gelsemium 200cc (Gelsemium Sempervirens, Lactose, Sucrose) is another good remedy for dengue if he gets dull and drowsy during the fever. This remedy can be given twice a day for five days or until feels better.

Kindly consider a general preventive measure for dengue like immediately consult a doctor for milder symptoms like fever. Take plenty of water, fluids and rest, rest under the bed net while you have a fever. Eat healthy and nutritious food. I am sure if you follow above steps he will less likely contract dengue. Just give him Eupatorium mother tincture as a preventive remedy for a week. Kindly let me know if you have any questions.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

To be honest I was not a believer of homeopathy at first but then after my son was not very responsive to Allopathy I turned towards alternative medicines. From then, I have seen that homeopathy is very effective in curing chronic diseases and I have now become a believer. Just to answer your question he is a normal kid and is naughty. His appetite is good. His height is good. I feel the basic problem with him is his immunity as when he was three years old he was hospitalized for nine days for a very severe infection and was treated with a heavy dose of antibiotics. I guess partially he is low on immunity as he was not breastfed a lot.

So, I have been researching a lot and started treating him and have even seen that Enchinea Augustifolia can also be given but I generally do not overdose him at all and only give the same when he is unwell. Hence, I am actually looking for a preventive medicine which can be given on a daily basis and which will make his immunity stronger. Please advise.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You are right. The low immunity is due to infection and lack of breastfeeding.

Just keep in mind that homeopathic medicines or treatment is not like allopathic treatment where you give a remedy only to treat the cold or a cough. In order to develop his immunity it is very important to understand your child as a person, as every child is different in terms of behavior, likes, dislikes, reaction to life circumstances, etc. The homeopathic remedy is prescribed and based on these features which not only would help to develop immunity but will help to fight and tackle the situations like infection, emotional stress, and physical stress.

Dr. Reckweg R 88 (Caryophyllus Aromaticus D3, Coxsackie D30, D60, D200, Diphterinum D30, D60, D200) will act only for a short period of time and also you cannot give this remedy for a longer period of time. This medication is only good for quick relief. You can give this as a preventive remedy but avoid giving it every day. You can give five drops of this remedy for a week then stop the remedy for the next three weeks and start again for a week. It means this medication can be taken once a month for a week. If you feel he is doing great, and the frequency of cold and cough has reduced drastically, then stop the medication. Similarly, Eupatorium can be taken for a week in a month. If he develops a cold or a cough, then you can give him Eupatorium till you see the improvement. Also, avoid giving him heavy and frequent doses of antibiotics or anti-viral allopathic medications as these medications will lower his immunity more.

In short, you can give him Rechweg drops for a few days but not continuously. If he falls sick due to any reason and if not feeling better with these medications, it is advisable to immediately seek professional help either from a Homeopath or any other physician.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
