stomach flu?
Posted: Sun Nov 13, 2005 3:54 pm
Why is it that it's so difficult to treat our own?! My 9 year old daughter has been throwing up since yesterday. She complains of stomach cramps in the umbilical area, general all-over achiness, she has low energy - wiped most of the time. She's on and off thirsty, and her fever has been going up and down - not sure if connected to the remedies I've been giving her.
In terms of remedies I was limited to what I had at home. At the beginning, she was throwing up, querulous and very cold. I gave her Arsenicum, didn't seem to do anything, but she warmed up slightly. I gave her Lachesis as it's a remedy she has responded well to in the past, and she had started talking fast in a hyper way. She responded slightly to it, but then stopped. I gave her Pulsatilla 30, as she started insisting that someone stay with her, very clingy and wanting more air in the room. Seemed to help a bit so I gave her Pulsatilla 200 and that saw us through the night with no more stomach cramps and less throwing up, and the fever went down. In the morning she seemed slightly stronger but was complaining about headaches, mainly in the forehead and temples. I gave her more of the Pulsatilla but it didn't seem to help and she started feeling weaker. I then gave her Lachesis 30 (I'd given LM1 before - what I had at home..), at which she threw up again and conked out.
She seems to be sighing a lot, also yawning and trying to yawn constantly.
Any ideas? She's generally quite hyper, very verbal, likes teaching other kids to do things, very easily offended and insulted. She's small for her age.
Thanks,
Vera
