Lynn,
I don't have time to review in great detail, but quickly reading through the rubrics, I would investigate something from the solanacea family - based on jealousy and fear, hypersensitive, explosive behavior, milk agg. Possibly Mandragora (desire for cheese) or Belladonna (as a chronic) which has the laughing, hiccoughs, eczema, kicking, perspiring during sleep, sensitive to noise, and mind - fears and jealousy. Ask if baby had fever just after birth. Also has NWS vaccination (Petrucci). Deprivation - feels unloved...always has an appetite??
Realize possible agg but rubric: mind, laughing alternating with violence: stramonium, crocus sativus.
Lastly, never under estimate the power of an LM. They can aggravate well. Might consider giving first dose with a dilution glass.
If you think agg from Mez, you can possibly antidote with a 6c in water. However, consider the laughing and violent behavior may be from yeast/toxin die off and not necessarily direct accessory symptom of the remedy. But eczema clearly agg. so you must do something to reduce it. (Can use lower potency like 6c or 12c.)
Now that you know how sensitive this patient is... perhaps you could start the next remedy with 6c in water (as with LMs), then progress to 30c before switching over to LM1. Or if you start with LM1, something like 1 drop, 2 or 3 dilution glasses and 1/2 tsp or even 1 or 2 drops from the final dilution glass. Sounds quirky but works.
FWIW...
Truly,
Erica
