| Case details | | A 9 yr. old girl was brought to us on 28/10/04, for treatment of asthma which she suffered from since 4 yrs. She had almost fortnightly recurrence of complaints which was worrisome for her parents. When she was 5 yrs old, she had suffered from Pulmonary Koch's which was treated with anti tubercular drugs. Her tuberculosis (Koch's) was cured but she developed breathlessness ever since. The asthmatic attack would start as cough and would progress within no time into breathlessness. It was observed that these attacks were commoner at night and particularly worse whenever her exams neared. Although this child was a very bright child and performed brilliantly in exams (in fact she always stood first in her class), she would forever get tensed during exams. Besides exams, she was also fearful of being alone and always needed someone to be with her especially in the dark. Dust and food articles like yoghurt and bananas too would bring on an attack. Other than her asthma, her mother also informed that she had a very poor appetite. She was given a medicine, Carcinosin based on a detailed case history. | | Follow-up | 4/11/04
She reported that she had one attack of breathlessnes which was milder in intensity 28/12/04 There was just one attack of asthma which was triggered because of the fumes of crackers but she responded to homeopathic treatment and didn't need to take her allopathic medicines. Her appetite had improved considerably. Her anxiety before exams remain unchanged. Her fear of being alone was much less but not completely gone. 31/3/05 She had no attacks of asthma at all since the last follow up and her appetite too was good now. The most significant change this time was that she was not anxious before her exams and her confidence level had markedly improved. Also she did not get any asthmatic attack during her examination period which she usually suffered from.
She continued to be well and after few months was asked to discontinue the treatment. | | Comments | | This case clearly elucidates how homeopathic treatment brings about an overall wellness in a person. The change is seen not only in the physical complaints but also in the state of mind. Such a change is desirable because a person's mental state has a profound effect on his/her health. | |
