Minutus

Can anyone please come up with a rubric I could use for a child who is continually sniffing making a snorting noise as she does it. I am not hinging the case on this but I just can't rep it and that irritates me!!

Rochelle,

In Synthesis I also find Respiration: Loud & Respiration: Loud; inspiration
& several other options... do you want the info & remedies? let me know...

best as always, Patti
continually sniffing making a snorting noise as she does it. I am not
hinging the case on this but I just can't rep it and that irritates me!!

You don't say why the child is doing this and it is essential to know - is
it because there is a lot of mucous; or because of congestion in the nasal
passages; or because the nose is obstructed somewhere - these latter 2 seem
appropriate as she is making quite a noise as she sniffs. If so I would
include such rubrics as 'obstruction' and 'congestion' + any relevant sub
rubrics. Perhaps there is an itching or some other sensation she is feeling
and she just snorts as a way of trying to remove that sensation.

Knowing why she does this will help you choose the relevant rubrics.

Best, Joy

Dear Rochelle & Patti,
Imho the dryness of the nose will be the key. There is
a rubric dry coryza . The dryness may have permeated
inside and would have closed the air passage and the
child is compensating with a forced breath. Sometimes,
physical obstructions or overgrowths may also be a
cause.
Snoring is continuous. Sniffling is occasional.

Dear Rochelle

You've had a variety of good suggestions for this one but I'm wondereing if
there's any possibility of a Tourette's type phenonenon?
Such repetitive behaviour may fall into the realm of a "tic" so Carc could
also be considered?

kind regards
Patricia

Thanks to all who have answered with suggestions

The nasal passages appear dry but the child picks her nose a lot and says that there are bogies in it. Apparently , according to mum these go straight into the mouth! It appears that she does this snorting because of post nasal catarrh. It then gets swallowed. She also had a loud, loose cough which I thought was a rasping sound but as we know it is so difficult to distinguish these coughs. The cough brings up mucous which is then swallowed. There is no tickle or itch. Allium c. seemed to get rid of the watery eyes she had with hay fever. Once she woke in the morning and said it was difficult to breathe until she had coughed. She was soooooo restless today, running around the clinic trying one thing after another and has done well on Ars 200 in the past. She has dreams of being chased and says that she watches herself being eaten but doesn't wake up and is not fearful. She also has "sleep running" which meant that she runs in her dreams. The snorting is not always there but at the moment it is worse than usual. Mum says that she is sensitive to light at the moment. She has been eating raw lemon.
I have given her Ars 200 again!!

Rochelle

Rochelle hi,
Rubric Escape; attempts to, run away
alum, bar-c, bell,bry, chel, cupr, dig, glon, hydrog,hyos,merc, mez,
nux-v,op, ozone,rhus-t,verat.
Escape attempt to in dreams; anh.

Arsenicum has fear associated with all of the dreams?
Anh. has the visions and the exagerated reverbration of sounds? and is also
a respiratory stimulant and good for excess mucus?
Also Anh. has the delusion of watching the outer with no sense of being part
of something - Delusion of depersonalization ?
It is worth a look at Anh. b/c of no fear associated with watching herself
being eaten. Also Anh. has the sensation that Drums produce euphoria - and
maybe she snorts b/c she feels good from the sound???????

Interesting. Thanks
