These were the complaints that he wanted us to take care of. We asked him about stress and tensions that he has? He told us during the 1990s he lost his job. This period was very stressful as the loss of job led to a financial crisis. He was very stressed during this phase and this also affected his health a lot.

He got another job after a few months but there was lot of insecurity because this was not a permanent job. The salary was also less as compared to the previous job. Due to this there were constant thoughts about the future of his family and persistent thoughts of what will happen in the future.

He is very attached to his family. If someone in the family is unwell; he will be very anxious. If someone in the family comes home late then also there will be lot of anticipatory anxiety lot of negative thoughts come to his mind.

The patient was brought to me for an opinion weather something could be done for the recurrent throat infections. The patient was advised to undergo tonsillectomy by the local doctor as she was not responding to the treatment.

Treatment:

After this the patient didn't come to me for almost 4 months. On 18th September her mother came to me as her other daughter who is pregnant came for a check up and she wanted to put her on homeopathy.

And while talking she said doctor do you remember my younger daughter and of course I used to wonder how this patient is doing? To my surprise she told after the medication she has not had a single episode in the last 4 months and her health is very good. I was very happy to know this and then I thought of presenting this case.

In this case the symptoms were so precise and characteristic that it was difficult to miss the remedy. So in cases of children it is very important to start a conversation with the kid. Then the symptoms that are expressed will make it easy to find the right remedy.

Please note the above case is for information only. Do not self medicate contact a qualified Homeopath before taking Homeopathic medicines.

The child aged 2 years was bought to us with severe episode of wheezing, lot of coughing and oppressed breathing. The child used to get these recurrent episodes of breathlessness since he was 3 months old. The child is on bronchodilators and in spite of the treatment he is not improving.
