This is my first post in quite a long time. My son has been having nosebleeds on occasion
at apparently random intervals. Usually we would just do ice and pressure. The twos last time I decided to try a remedy, and it ended up being Calc Carbonica. I used this because it was listed at a site I referenced online and I already had it. His nose bleed seemed to stop more quickly than usual each time and didn't restart. I know I didn't do a proper case taking but it seems effective. What comments are there from the group on this? Also I'm not studying H'pathy as I have in the past...

Re: 9 y/o Boy Nose Bleed...
If Calc fitted constitutionally From Ref Works Allen’s Tub affections.
Children who are self - willed; fair and plump; head sweats profusely while sleeping, wetting the pillow far around (see Sil.).
Itching of the scalp; children, when disturbed in sleep scratch the head on waking. - Dunham.
Vertigo: on ascending a height; on going up stairs is dizzy, out of breath, has to sit down (vertigo on descending, Bor.).
During sickness or convalescence of children constant longing for eggs.
"One of the most prominent constitutional indications for Calcarea is a tall and very erect figure - almost as "straight as an arrow" when walking, standing or sitting (lean persons who walk and sit stooped, Sulph.). This erectness, even in their weakness, is very striking, and once seen will rarely be forgotten. (Per contra, short and very fat people, when symptoms correspond, are often good subjects for this remedy.) " - Gregg.
For the two extremes of stature: the tall and erect and the short and stout. The two extremes of life: the aged and the very young.
Lung diseases of tall, slender, rapidly - growing youth (Cal. p., Phos., Phos. ac.): Oftener the guide to the true remedy for that person in the diseases of adult and middle life than Phosphorus.
Frequent attacks of epistaxis in boys who grow too rapidly and mature too young.
Glad I looked s did not know as did not know could be tall and erect and " sit walk stand as straight as an arrow”

Re: 9 y/o Boy Nose Bleed...
It's great that the Calc-c. seemed to help, but I'd suggest taking careful notes on your son's nosebleeds (nature, modalities, timing, etc.) and doing a differential diagnosis of remedies before he has another, just to make sure there's not a better contender out there.

Phos is well indicated for a pumping (arterial) nose bleed.

I used this because it was listed at a site I referenced online and I already had it. His nose bleed seemed to stop more quickly than usual each time and didn't restart. I know I didn't do a proper case taking but it seems effective. What comments are there from the group on this? Also I'm not studying H'pathy as I have in the past...
