child case

[Rochelle]

I would be interested in any ideas on remedies for this case as I wasn't at all sure.
Thanks

Background - This 18 month old boy presented as a olive skinned child, normal height and build, big brown eyes who walked well but with no clear speech as yet. Dah was obviously Car!! Initially he was very shy and clung to mum, not even raising his head. This lasted about an hour when he started playing with the toys on his own, not demanding help from mum and was fine as long as I didn't look at him!! Mum changed his nappy and when she left the room to put it in the bin he screamed. Later he walked around the room quite happily constantly singing and humming. He later let me pick him up but immediately wanted to go to mum. He has very straight teeth.

A month ago he was very weak and ill because he had been living in a caravan with parents and 3 year old brother. Father left them to go and study at university so after 3 weeks of them all being ill mum brought them up to live with Grandma and has now separated from her husband. The child looks healthy. He has been given Chamomila occasionally before bed.
Presenting complaints eczema, moody and whingy.
The eczema is only since he has been living at Grandma and presents as very red and angry looking on the back of his legs. It is crusty, felt slightly damp and is itchy as he tries to scratch it. Mum also said he had eczema all over his body but was I saw was odd tiny patches but the whole body was covered with a pale pink blotchy rash which was not raised.
He kicks off when his nappy is changed which mum did with him standing up!!
He has seen his dad once since the separation and was excited to see him.
Pregnancy was awful from day 1. They lived in a caravan and dad was angry and kept quitting jobs. Mum had fallen out with her family over dad who they didn't like and then she got pre eclampsia. Dad blamed mum for the pregnancies. When she was being abused she was never afraid of him as she could give back what she got. She used to lock him out of the caravan. He didn't want the children. The emotion through the pregnancy was fearful about the future; that they would have no place to live and she worked 6 nights a week as a care assistant. Mum is 23.
Birth - mum is type 1 IDD and R was delivered by caesarean 5 weeks prematurely and weighed 10 lbs. Mum had eclampsia and both of them had to be resuscitated after the birth. Mum expressed milk for him and he was bottle fed with this for a month because he refused to take from the breast. Mum then fed him soya formula because she says that all the family are dairy sensitive. He does eat cottage cheese!!
Walked at 14 months

Teeth at 3 months

Talking - not really yet.
The last couple of weeks in Wales in the caravan they all had flu colds and were vomiting. This was 5 weeks ago.
He loves being warm and wrapped up but seems to like the fresh air.
He drinks water all the time. He eats veg, chicken and fish but his favourite is sausage, mash and peas. He loves sweet things. He dislikes bitty things like alfalfa and coleslaw. He won't drink a cup of milk (soya or otherwise) but will have soya milk on his cereal.
He can be clingy but also shouts and hits out.
He sleeps a lot and always has done. He is a good eater.
He is fearful if someone raises their voice which mum thinks is because of the arguments between mum and dad in the caravan.
His right ear has previously been full of dark wax.
He is cheerful in the morning but has quick mood changes. At one point mum said he was having a paddy because he threw something on the floor but it was instant and he snapped out of it. I wouldn't have known if mum hadn't said.
What struck me was the clinging to mum and the constant happy singing once he felt comfortable in the clinic after about an hour and was wandering around and playing with the toys. I wondered if the eczema was to do with coming to live with Grandma although they are all very happy there. Maybe also a grief reaction as he could be missing dad. Mum hopes to get her own house soon to rent by the council. He may not be allergic to dairy.

Off top of head as head is full of Xmas details Baryta Carb delayed development,lost without father, Carcinosum[singing contentedly sometimes in own little world] ?/Phos
There may be powerlessness and fear because of all the fighting and after birth experience ?/ Opium
Naja everything wrong and out of place

SPEECH & VOICE; SPEECH; wanting; childhood, in (1) : agra.
The skin the most recent event could be so many remedies maybe Lycopodium a lot of worry. It helped a child I had once. Best Wishes Jean
Good Luck

[Rochelle]

Funnily enough I seriously considered Opium because it came out high in my rep. It's there for the mother's problems during the pregnancy of eclampsia, diabetes and fear of the future as well as singing and I also thought about the fact that he slept such a lot. However I chickened out!! Carc is what I gave his grandma that morning!!!
Thanks for your thoughts Jean.

Rochelle,
what about having a look at Puls

Hi Beverley,
Puls is what I gave the child but I don't feel secure that this was the correct prescription which is why I posted the case!! When I showed Mum the MM she thought it suited him best. However it doesn't have the singing which I| was no struck with or in fact the eczema!! We shall see.

Rochelle,
you may still find puls useful It has itching skin and rashes. I have often used it in similar cases.
particularly 30c water dose daily for a few days or longer til some change [yes maybe radical in some viewpoints but works usually] You may find the singing not relative - it could just be that the child is happy as opposed to unhappy at that time and not something to rep.,
Also have you thought that as the child has moved to grandmother there may be a change of diet with foods that could be irritating the situation, particularly if there are sudden mood changes.,
I have found soy a big problem for children. It is highly allergenic in many people. Perhaps you would consider suggesting watered down goat's milk with no dairy or wheat for a while tilthings are cleared
Beverly

[Rochelle]

Thanks Beverley - yes I did discuss change of diet with Mum but probably now the diet is better and healthy. I agree about the soy milk and did mention this to mum. After I gave the Puls the child's face went grey for a minute or to- very interesting. I gave a dose there and then and another to be given evening and following morning which is a very English way of prescribing!!

Couple of thoughts...haven't rep'd case or looked at totality... just random thoughts....
Speech delay with absent father - Nat Mur (which also has inclination to sing)
Calc-C and Puls seem good possibilities.
Standing for diaper changes quite normal for 18 month old as is crying when mother leaves the room.
Eczema/rash could be change in material slept on (meaning maintaining cause like laundry detergent - not an m/e factor).
If I had to pick one quickly, it would be Calc-C for cannot watch or hear anything cruel or horrible or tolerate any kind of violence (arguments or quarreling), clinginess to mom, initial fear of homeopath, cannot bear to be looked at, slow in learning to talk, eczema in infants/toddlers, milk refused by newborn - cries much to due to hunger but will not suck the breast, often look fit and fine but don't possess much energy? (weak and easily tired)?, excess ear wax, milk issue?, Preg - anxious - insecurity due to loss of protection.
HIH!
Truly,
Erica

we can think about stramonium because of clinging, wants his mother with him and he is fine as long as you dont look at him.
we can also think about mag carb that is lots of fights were there in between his parents during the pregnancy
Enjoy every moment of life & keep smiling
