A hemangioma is benign (non cancerous) tumour made out of blood vessels. There are many types of hemangiomas, and they can occur throughout the body, including in skin, muscle, bone and internal organs.
Because hemangiomas very rarely become cancerous, most do not require any medical treatment. However, some hemangiomas can be disfiguring, and many people seek a doctor's care for cosmetic reasons.
Signs and symptoms.
Hemangiomas are usually painless, red to blue colored lesions on the skin, lips or inside of the mouth eyes and any other body parts. Most often soft to touch. Superficial lesions may bleed or turn into sores, particularly if bumped or injured.
Deep hemangiomas in muscle may cause pain, as well as swelling around the hemangioma that increase with activity.
Hemangiomas in bones may cause pain and enlargement of bone..
Hemangiomas can be confused with other vascular malformations, because treatment may vary considerably depending on whether the lesion is hemangioma or other type of malformation, a through doctor's examination is recommended.. During the physical examination doctor will inspect and palpate any mass, noting exactly where it is located, what it feels like and perhaps any surrounding changes in the skin. Although diagnose based on history and physical examination alone, imaging tests can be useful..
X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scans. CT scan may show a cavernous hemangioma if it has calcifications.
Magnetic resonance images (MRI) scans. These scans can create clear images of soft structures like a hemangioma. Hemangiomas in MRI scan are often described as a bag of worms.
Angiogram test.
Biopsy.
Blood tests for genetic analysis
There are two principal types of begin vascular tumours hemangiomas commonly seen in infants. Infantile hemangiomas, which are most common, usually appear 2_3 weeks after birth, grow rapidly over the next 6 months, then begin to involute.
Although infantile hemangiomas may occur anywhere on the body, they are seen mostly often in the head neck and eye region. Most infantile hemangiomas begin their growth phase in first few weeks of life, although deeper subcutaneous hemangiomas are occasionally not noticed until patients are a few months old.

Experience with some potencies
Dr Mulchandani's homeopathic blog

Experience some Potencies.
In some cases a particular medicine is found and known to be more useful in a particular Potency than in any other Potency. Such Potencies have been regarded as specific by clinical experiences.To illustrated Sabal serrulata for prostatitic enlargement in 200 C Potency has worked better than Q or any other Potency. Similarly, Stellaria media in 2 x works excellently..
Some Nosodes act better in high potency I.e.200 and some in 30 c potency and above 200 Medorrhinum and Sphyilinum works better in 200 and higher Potencies only.
Bowel Nosodes As a general rule use the high potency when the mentals are prominent for gross pathology and marked pathological symptoms employ the lower Potencies.
With outstanding mentals the Nosodes in 1 m Potency or higher maybe preferred but if there is evidence of advanced pathological conditions such as advanced rheumatoid arthritis or malignancy, the 6 th decimal may be employed.
Homoeopathy has also taken up vaccine therapy and dr. J.G. Hare of London Homoeopathic hospital has introduced the use 3x and 30 x Potencies of the vaccines.i.e Staphylococcin, Staphylococcus, Streptococcin, Bacillus Acnes, Bacillus coli, Bacillus influenza, Bacillus typhus Gonococcus etc.
Glandular medicines such as Brain, Corpus lut, Mammary, Ovarian parotid, Pancreatin, Parathyroid, Pineal, Pituitary, Placenta, Prostate, Superarental, Secretin, Spleen, Thymus and Throid are used in low Potency 3x or 6x .
The curative power of certain medicines is even available in low Potencies and as such drs like Boericke and Clarke have recommended their use in low Potencies, such medicines are Abies can ( 1st to 3rd) Absinthium 1st to 6 th Ars iod 2,to3x etc.
Experience tells us the following medicines are very useful in 30 the Potencies.
Aconite, Ant crud Ant tart, Aurum met, Baptisia, Belladonna, Coculus, Corallium Dulcamara Eupt perf Ferrum met Gels etc.
Where physician is not in a position to make distinction in between the two medicines and he is in a great confusion owing to the similarity of symptoms he may select either of two medicines which has the majority of the characteristic symptoms and give the same in lower attenuation 6 to 12 . Although correct prescription brings reputation to Homoeopath but to err is human. That is why it has rightly been remarked that a Homoeopath may fail but never does the Homoeopathy.
General principles
All those cases which could not be covered earlier are described below for the guidance of the practitioners.
High Potencies are advised in following cases.
The more the symptoms are functional rather than organic.
The more dynamic and or deep acting the nature of the drug.
To antidotes the ill effects of low Potencies and crude drugs ( remembering the hazard in the use of high Potencies in organic destructive disorders)
To rouse reaction in refractory cases.
The higher and highest dilutions are more useful in
All diseases of nervous system generally
In all sensitive persons of both sexes particularly those who have never taken any medicine of any kind.
Diseases of skin.
Low Potencies are advise
In dynamic or low conditions of the vital force.
For palliative purpose with partial indications
In acute disease low Potencies . When dealing with vegetable substance low Potencies, lesions disorders low Potencies, if you administere a medicine for one Symptom alone, the low Potency for functional disorders medium Potencies.
Some medicines have their own donts particularly in high Potencies. For example Silicea and Sulphur high are dangerous drugs to be given when there's a structural disease in organs that are vital.Phosphours in high potency be avoided in phthisis in a chronic case Lycopodium high at the start is advisable.Belladona in high potency if frequently repeated may prove fatal.High Potency of Kali carb in gout, Psorinum in asthma are prohibited.Silicea high must not be administered to cases who have been grafted with foreign/ artificial matter
When high potency has been administerd in an incurable case or one with marked pathological changes and it has resulted in aggarvations which the vital energy can not cope with or the aggregation is very painful, the patient is going near to the end of life, the physician must antidotes.
When lamp of life is burning very low the exhibition of Homoeopathic medicine high or low is probably like a gust of wind.
In domestic practice the lower attenuations may be used with much greater safety than the higher.

Intermittent Fever
Intermittent Fever or malaria is a febrile condition characterised by the paroxysmal symptoms with chill, heat and sweating stages which alternate with a pyretic periods. Headache, vomiting, diarrhoea, rigor, or convulsions are the usual symptoms along with a temperature which at times reaches 40.5°c or more.
The exciting cause of the disease is a protozoa called Plasmodium. The three species of this protozoa cause varying periodicity, namely Plasmodium vivax causes tertian malaria or quotidian malaria, Plasmodium malariae causes quartan malaria and Plasmodium Falciparum causes the most serious form of malaria with constitutional symptoms.
Tertian malaria, in which the febrile paroxysms occur every third day (every other day)
Quotidian malaria. Malaria in which the febrile symptoms occur every day.
Quartan malaria, Malaria in which the febrile symptoms occur every fourth day. (every three days)
The malaria parasite is carried by Anopheles mosquito which transmitd the same from a malaria carrier to the health person by its bite. This disease is often found during warm weather and in people who live in marshy and swampy places.
Besides the above types of malaria, some are reported to be suffering from congenital malaria, in which the Plasmodium is transmitted to the child by its mother during intrauterine life. The affection becomes evident soon after the birth.
Symptoms
A typical attack of malaria runs a cyclic course and consists of the following stages,,,
Chill stage It is sometimes feeble in other cases it is very intense. There is rigor, headache and nausea which sometimes results in vomiting. The skin is dry and cold and the patient wants to be covered heavily. There may be thirst or not during this stage.
Fever stage This stage follows chill stage and is characterised by high fever up to 41°c, headache, nausea and sometimes pain in abdomen and region of spleen. The patient generally throws off the covers. The skin is burning hot. The children often develop convulsions during this stage.
Sweating stage . This is third stage follows the fever stage. During this, the temperature drops and profuse sweat follows, all the unpleasant symptoms disappear and the patient sleeps.
The entire attack generally lasts from 4 to 48 hours. It is often observed that most attacks occur in the afternoon and the highest temperature peak occurs from evening to early morning hours. The temperature curve often varies with type of the parasite.
The associated symptoms generally found in benign types of malaria are enlargement of spleen and sometimes of liver. In blood picture, besides the presence of different stages of the parasite, marked reduction in the leucocytes count occurs.
The malignant form of malaria which is also known as tropical malaria sometimes exhibits the symptoms of encephalitis or meningitis and mainly leads to malaria coma, owing to considerable concentration of the parasites in the cerebral capillaries.
During the a pyrexia period, the patient generally recovers his strength but weakness, anaemia and other complications may occur if the attacks follow each other for a prolonged period.
Generally, self cure takes place following the reduction in the fever paroxysms and cessation of chill and sweat.
Chronic malaria may occur if there are frequent relapses, which results in malaria cachexia and anaemia with Symptoms of tendency to haemorrhage, diarrhoea, oedema and deep changes in spleen and liver. The spleen may be stony hard and very enlarged with pain and discomfort.
In children below two years, the course of disease may not be so cyclic and typical but may show the symptoms of excitement, pallor of face, convulsions and vomiting. The temperature and the attacks are irregular and sweating is mild.
The incubation period of the disease is 10-15 days, however the attack and fever may occur several weeks or even months after infection.
Diagnosis
The diagnosis of the disease is fairly simple as the stages are generally well marked. If the temperature is taken every two hours, the cure will often make the picture clear.
The blood test often provides a confirmed proof of malaria which shows ring like annular bodies at the beginning of the attack, minor rings chill and initial heat stage, mature forms during the fever.
There is a demonstrable enlargement of spleen or liver or both. The patient also complain of pain in the spleenic region.
Certain degree of anaemia may be present especially in advanced cases. Besides, herpes in lips and face may be present.
Effects
Some of the effects of malaria in children are herpes of nose, eyelids and corner, anaemia, malaria hepatitis, especially after quartan infections splenomegaly, loss of memory and malaria cachexia.
Constitutional causes.
Not all persons bitten by the Plasmodium vector Anopheles mosquito develop malaria. It is only some persons including who have a malaria constitution that are affected by this malady,(sycotic) constitution and have an excess of hydrogen and consequently water in the blood and tissues are victims of this malady. The children who feel worse in cold or damp weather, and in rain and are aggravated by everything which in any way increases the atoms water by baths, eating of aquatic animals etc, and which increase the attraction of the organic molecules of oxygen, carbon and hydrogen for water. Thus the intermittent fevers, vaccinosis, gout, etc are some of the disease peculiar to this type of constitution which provides a rich soil to the germs or protozoa to grow and multiply in the human organism. Until this constitutional defect is treated, the tendency to this and a score of the maladies will remain in a child for ever. And as Von Grauvogl stresses, if a patient with intermittent Fever even before his sickness, was always affected by damp weather, he is not cured, even though the last paroxysm occurred years ago, so as long as he does not feel quite as well in damp as in dry weather.
Preventive
It is essential that children should be protected from mosquito bites by providing mosquito nets screen at night. Stagnant water in and around the house should be removed or sprinkled with kerosene, to kill the mosquito larvae. Spraying of walls and premises with DDT is generally recommended.
The children who get ill on exposure to cold damp or rainy weather should be treated on constitutional level to cure their predisposition to the hydrogenoid constitution. Transfusion of blood donated by a person with latent malaria are highly unsuitable and may cause cause severe constitutional disturbances in a child. The transfusion should, therefore, preclude such a possibility by the necessary antibodies tests of the blood..
Certain factors such as chill, wetting, exposure, exhaustion, blood loss, anesthestic, surgical trauma and high altitude flying may predispose a child to recurrence and relapse of the intermittent Fever.
Dr. J. H. Clarke recommends the use of Chin Sulph night and morning 30 "potency as a prophylactic measure for children who go in to malaria districts.
During the cold stage, child should be well covered with plenty of blankets which should be dry. During hot stage, cold drinks and tepid sponging as given under fever should be given to lower down the temperature. During sweat stage, the child may not be covered too warmly and after it is over, the bed clothes and pajamas should be changed...
Homoeopathic Therapeutics.
In malaria the medicines require frequent repetitions. It is necessary to pay more attention to symptoms and observe how chill heat and sweat follow one another, as well as the occurrence of thirst and periodicity.
Dr. Hering cautions in the treatment of malaria, thus, In commencement of the disease, it is better not to suppress it by Cinchona or quinine, it it should be done only in cases of great necessity, at the same time it can be best cured by homoeopathic remedies. Later when the attacks are more violent and the patient feels well in the intervals, the disease is more difficult to cure and in these cases it may sometimes be suppressed by quinine, though it often has bad consequences. At a still later period when the spleen and liver are swollen, take care not to use much quinine, it will in most cases only hasten dropsy and other succeeding diseases. He further advises, if you cannot find the suitable remedy, give a dose of Ipecacuanha after the attack and repeat it every three to four hours until the next day, a few hours before the time last attack came on, if no attack comes on, give nothing else on that day, but give a dose on the following day, a few hours before expected attack. If it returns watch the symptoms and give another remedy. If you have selected one, give it first, after the attack is over and second repeat it a few before time the next attack is expected to return. If the fever had been stopped, but return again, give a first remedy for the cause of the relapse, and then the remedy, after the administration of which it stopped. Some of the important medicines frequently required during different stages of malaria are discussed here below,,,,,
Apis A useful remedy, in intermittent Fever when the characteristic chill at 3 pm is present and the child complains of great thirst. The chill is worse on motion and heat,. But the stages of heat and sweat are thirstless with scanty and high coloured urine. Feeling of oppression in chest. Sweat is often wanting. Whining tearfulness is a useful symptom often accompanying the ailment. After the cold stage, the patient breaks out in profuse urticaria and is very drowsy.
Aranea periodicity, coldness and great susceptibility to dampness are some of red line symptoms of this remedy. It is suited as a constitutional remedy for malaria poisoning when the patient complains of continued chilliness. Dr. Von Grauvogl greatly praises this remedy for hydrogenoid intermittent, when the spleen is greatly enlarged and the patient is unable to live near sea, lakes, rivers etc. Suitable for quotidian and tertian type of malaria. Coldness with pain in long bones and feeling of stone in abdomen at the same hour daily. The chill almost freezes the patient, and the stages of heat and sweat are either feeble or absent. Chill starts at 7pm and lasts till 8 in the morning, every day at the same hour, with cough loss of appetite, sleeplessness and great exhaustion. This valuable remedy of the animal kingdom tops the list of all similar remedies which have great sensitiveness to damp and cold places.
Ars alb. Suitable when the different stages are not distinctly marked or when the paroxysm is imperfectly developed. Arsenic is the remedy of choice in pernicious malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum when vomiting, purging and weakness are present. Heat stage is well marked in this remedy giving a feeling as if hot water is circulating in Veins, the chill stage is usually feeble or absent. One of the important symptoms of the remedy is the thirst for large quantities of water during the sweating stage. The sweat is cold, clammy and prostrating. Besides, burning pains in stomach, in supportable pain in limbs, anxiety and restlessness, oppression of chest, bitter taste in the mouth, buzzing in the ears during sweating and headache continuing after hot stage are some of the additional dy, also suitable for malaria cachexia when the sallow pallor, clean red tongue are present as after abuse of quinine.

Some cases treated.
A delicate 9 years old boy had quotidian type malaria for 3 days. On fourth day at about 10 am when chill shook the boy so violently his mother held him, heavily wrapped brought to me considering the above symptom and the time of occurrence of the chill as well as the thirstlessmes (as I was told that the child never asked for water during any of the stages on previous days)
I prescribed Gelsemium 200 two doses 10 minutes apart. The effect was rapid. The violence of the chill was reduced and heat with prostration supervened. The temperature rose to 39°c and the child lay down quietly. He complained of pain in forehead. A dose of Gelsemium 200 was repeated in heat stage as well. No more medicines was needed. Surprisingly, the child had no further attacks of the intermittent Fever. Though it is often recommend that medicine should better be given after the attack and in repeated doses, I chose to administer the medicine during the chill and heat stages in frequent doses and the rapid recovery followed.
M, had tertian fever for five or six weeks. Pulsatilla 200 was given which seemed to aggravate, changing the fever to a quotidian type symptoms. Paroxysm commenced at 8 am. Hard and shaking chills, last one hour, after which great thirst followed by fever with no thirst, headache flushed face dry red eyes and after the fever, sweating with thirst, but very profuse perspiration at night, particularly upon the parts on which he lies. Great debility after perspiration. China 200 ten doses one every three hours. Speedy recovery followed.
Miss C, 15 years old school girl consulted me for her severe headache over eyes in temples and occupit which according to her had lingered on after a bad attack of malaria about six months ago. She had been treated with quinine after positive blood tests for Plasmodium. The dull pain remained almost throughout the day and was worse from studies or mental exertion. She also complained of coryza with thin watery discharge and sneezing in the noon. She had grey hair which reported had started appearing 5 years ago. Sometimes she had severe earache and sweeling of lymphatic glands.
On these symptoms, I prescribed two doses of Nat mur 1m apart from one hour. After about, 10 days she had great relief in headache and coryza. Later one dose of Nat mur, 10 m completely cured her. Her hair also started regaining normal colour.
One of the most puzzling cases of intermittent Fever I have ever cured is that of a, 13 years of old boy who lacked most of the routine symptoms but had some striking symptoms which I missed owing to my absence at a time of the occurrence and going according to narration of the parents.
The child had paroxysms on alternate days around 8 am. The chill was violent and was preceded by intense thirst and pain in the whole body. Vomiting of water during chill. During heat, the temperature rose sharply to 40°c and the child went into convulsions and had considerable difficulty in breath (as was narrated to me by parents) . The heat stage was followed by scanty sweating. When I saw the boy the paroxysms was over. Any way, considering the above dy, I prescribed a dose of Eup perf 200 with the instructions to immediately call for me as soon as the next paroxysms started. I was told that the child felt prostrated during the apyrexia period and complained of bitter taste in the mouth. I was called when the paroxysms struck the child again on the third day. The chill had just started after the child had taken two glasses of water and it was heavily covered with blankets. Eup perf 200 was administered every ten minutes without any difference in the intensity of the chill which then was followed by great heat. I was baffled by the apparent inefficiency of Eup perf inspite of being well indicated and being given after the earlier attack and during the present attack. Soon I observed that the heat stage brought the frightening convulsions and terrible dyspnoea. On examination, I observed terrible swelling of spleen. During the convulsions, the child became very rigid, bending backward. The mother of the child started weeping as she thought the child was going to die. The convulsions and rigidity immediately brought the to my mind the drug picture of Cicuta vir which was immediately administered in, 30 c potency, two doses 10 minutes apart. The picture immediately changed for the better. The child straightened up, the convulsions disappeared, and breathing became free, which brought great relief to me and the child's parents. It seems the dyspnoea of Cicuta is connected with enormous swelling of spleen. The child had no more attacks of fever, but as a safeguard, a dose of Cicuta vir 200 was administered to the child to check the recurrence of cerebral symptoms.

Height increasing
Hieght increasing Generally boys grow till the age of 20 and girls at the age of 18 years. After that growth happens only in exceptional cases. Growth after maturation ( adulthood) isn't possible as most of cells are fully matured and grown. Growth of the body biologically stops around the 20 years in male child and 18 years in female child due to the fusion of epiphysical/ growing ends of the bones due to effects of the sex hormones.

Celliac disease
Celliac disease is an autoimmune disease triggered by the consumption of Gluten containing foods.
Gluten is a general name for the proteins found in wheat berries, semolina spelt farina rye barley and triticale.Gluten helps foods maintain their shape acting as a glue that holds foods together gluten found in many types of foods such as bread, soups pasta cereals.
The medical approach for celliac disease is a life long gluten free diet it may not be enough to prevent may complications associated with disease, have intestinal abnormalities.
Allergic symptoms of Gluten
Infertility
Joint pain
Digestive issues
Neurological disorder
Mood swings depressed
Migraine.
Chronic fatigue syndrome and pain.
Etc.
Gluten in food industry refers to storage proteins in all grain. These storage proteins are beneficial in food production, gluten free to the medical community refers only to the small intestine known to damage the small intestine for personswith gluten sensitive enteropathy ( celliac disease and dermatitis herptiformis) gluten free diet should avoid the storage proteins found in wheat berries semolina spelt farina rye barley and other cereals.
People who have been advised by their physician to be on a gluten free diet should eat gluten free food.
Blood tests are available to screen for celiac diseases but possitive small bowel biopsy is required to confirm the diagnosis.
Individuals with severe food allergies can eat the products should consult their physician gluten free foods are safe for celiac diseases.
The condition is difficult to live with and is not helped by fad dieters.
The trick here's to find eggs and wheat other'cereals free from gluten.
The majority of our factories are not grain free and therefore the products made in them cannot classed as gluten free. Consumers must read the ingredients list to be cleared when a products contains any alleric ingredients as per the recipe or trance amounts, for gluten intolerance or allergies such ingredients would be cereals such as wheat barley rye oats groundnut etc amongst others.
Are you gluten intolerant? A huge amount of population is now not they are allergic to some kind of food.
Stomach cramps, and bloating every time consuming allergic food..

Fever, Simple
WFever is elevation of body temperature above the normal value 37 °(98.6f) . Fever b itself is not a disease, but it is a Symptom of many a disease from the most simple to the fatal. In infants the mild periods of pyrexia mark the acquisition of immunity from the micro organisms with which man has to live.
In normal children delivered at term, the temperature directly after birth is elevated to 37.7 °C to 38.2°C (in the rectum), but in a very few hours, this temperature goes down becoming normal at the end of 24 hours, 36.6 °to 37.°c..The temperature may sometimes suddenly go to 38-39°C and even higher on the third or fourth day of life. This is so called transitory or dehydration fever of the newborn, which is probably due to an inadequate fluid intake.
Mild disturbance of the evening temperature (37.2°to 3707°C) for prolonged periods are by no means uncommon in early life, and the physical examination often draws
blank. During the entire period of infancy, temperature vacillations (the difference between morning and evening temperatures) not exceeding 0.3°C are characteristic. The rectal and mouth temperatures come in separate shapes. The rectal thermometer has a round bulb so that it is not not sharp, while the mouth thermometer has a long slender bulb so that the mercury in the bulb can be more quickly warmed in the mouth.
In older children, sometimes the temperature can be taken under the armpit. The temperature in the armpit is about one degree Fahrenheit lower than the mouth temperature.
Before taking the rectal temperature, the baby should be laid on its stomach across the mother's or nurse's knees, so that the baby cannot squirm out of this the ceasily.
Now a days most of thermometers are available in degrees Celsius (C°) To facilitate the conversion into degrees Fahrenheit (F°), the following chart will be helpful.

*For conversion of degree Celsius to Fahrenheit multiply by 9/5 and add 32. To convert degrees Fahrenheit to degree Celsius subtract 32 and multiply by 5/9.
In infants and children, it is necessary that besides temperature, the rate of respiration and the pulse should also be observed to establish a ratio between these. In certain diseases like parathyroid, the temperature and pulse ratio is disturbed.
The comparative respiration and pulse rates ratio of infants and children are given below,,

Generally, for every degree Fahrenheit temperature rises in a child, respiration rate increases by two or three and pulse rate increases by 10 beats.
It is advisable to take the temperature of a child during fever, every two hours, and in the persistent fevers to prepare a temperature chart to judge the type of ailment and other irregularities.

Some cases treated
A 14 years old girl suddenly developed headache and fever at night. The girl complained of dull pain in the abdomen which was hard. The temperature was 38.8 c and headache was so severe that she had tied bandage tightly around her head. She also complained of bitter taste in the mouth, nausea and had had no stool that day. The tongue was coated light yellowish, the lips and mouth were dry and she had excessive thirst. The pulse was full and quick. Bryonia 30 every two hours was prescribed. Around midnight temperature rose to 39°C which came down after she passed stool. The temperature then continued declining and was normal in the morning. No headache was reported.
A homoeopathic remedy when well selected works quicker than any other medicine in any other system of medicine. Next day, she received a dose of Bryonia 200 to safeguard against rise in temperature or constipation which is often linked with fever in children.
An interesting case which baffled many a homoeopath, allopath and vaids but was ultimately cured by seemingly uncommon homoeopathic remedy for fever is given here to impress upon the reader and drs. that a homoeopath may fail, but homoeopathy never fails.
A, 12 years old child developed high fever which kept fluctuating during day and night. An allopath declared it as typhoid and administered large doses of chloromycetin. The fever which inspite of the strong antibiotic continued for 12 days and ultimately suppressed. By that time the child had consumed 20 capsules of the drug. After a few days, the child started getting low fever of 37.2 to 37.8 °c every day in the afternoon along with loose dark brown stools. The child felt weak and had sallow complexion which the father reported, was the result of the protracted treatment. All sorts of medicines in homoeopathy, allopathy and Ayurveda were tried but, the fever showed no signs of abatement. Finally case was referred to me. I carefully took the case and recorded the following symptoms of importance.,,
Fever started around 1PM and was its peak around, 4 pm,,
Night sweats, which made the child weak,
The child showed a considerable degree of warmth and desired cool drinks,,,
Eyes burning with occasional smarting,,,
Diarrhoea of dark brown colour 2-3 times daily worse evening,,,
Occasional spells of dizziness,,
Restlessness with weak pulse,,,
And family history of tuberculosis,,,
Considering the history of the case, I administered a dose of Chloromycetin 200 at bed time.
Next day, Ars iod 30 one dose every 3 hours was prescribed. At the end of 5 days, the child had no night sweats but the temperature continued as such. The frequency of diarrhoea was reduced to two in a day. The medicine was stopped for 3 days. No further change in the condition was noticed. I tried to elicit more symptoms, which revealed two important symptoms namely, child was thirstless and since the last few days had been asking for an additional pillow at night. The whole case was recapitulated which clearly pointed to Pulsatilla which also has fever aggravation around 4pm. Pulsatilla 200 one dose was prescribed which in two days relieved the child of the distressing symptoms of low fever. Pulsatilla 1m was latter administered to check further recurrence. The parents were advised to feed the child well, especially food rich in vitamins and proteins. And the child is going on well. No any further medicine.

Epilepsy
Epilepsy means a tendency to have seizers and a symptom of brain disease where there are periodical changes in the neurological function, which is often accompanied by alterations in consciousness due to excessive, abnormal, electrical impulses from the nerve cells within the brain.The epileptic seizures are divided into generalized seizures or partial seizures.In generalized seizures ( grand mal) the patient gets an aura that is followed by loud crying, biting of his own tounge, increased salivation or deveops froth at mouth, there may be violent jerking of limbs he , he may urinate or defecate and there can be resultant sudden loss of consciousness with total loss of memory for the attack. The petit amal type of eilepsy is the one that is usually seen in small children with complaints of cessation of mental activity for a few seconds, without loss of consciousness and without the patient realizing what had happened. These are also termed as absence attacks, where the person or the child becomes absent from his surrounding for a brief period of time and any movements of the lid, lip and tounge are possible. Continuous convulsive movements without any epileptic free Periods and without the patient regaining awareness between the attacks, usually lasting for more than twenty four hours is called as status epilepticus.
The patient usually comes with a history of involuntary urination and defecation, head injury, high fever labor, metabolic disorders ( hypoglycemia, hypocalcaemia, hyponatremia, hypomagnesemia, renal failure) certain drugs ( Pencillin isoniazid. Antimalarial, cyclosporin , phenothiazine, tricyclics, lignocaine etc) tumor, hydrocephalus infections ( menigitis, encephalopathy) cerebrovascular accidents multiple sclerosis SLE or excessive intake of alcohol.
An epileptic patient is not allowed to drive, cycle or swim and not allowed to work near fire, machinery or water, since the patient can get an attack at any time And any place. The patient should take only a shallow bath, without locking the door of and that too when someone is present in the home. The patient should be assured that a normal life is possible, along with medications.
During an attack, put the patient in a semi prone position with head low and roll the patient onto any side to the secretions flow out of the mouth, instead of it getting aspirated into the lungs and leading to further complications. Ensure that the airway is clear. Pressing the tounge down with the help of a spoon is necessary to prevent a tounge bite and is also useful to prevent the Fallin back of the tounge ( leading to respiratory obstruction) . For convulsions that occur in small children immerse the legs of the Child in hot Water for five to ten minutes after which if the attack goes away, the child should be wiped dry. If the child is not better or if the attack occurs again, follow the same procedure again and also apply some cold water simultaneously to the head of the Child.
The person who had an epileptic attack may occasionally be drowsy and confused for about half an hour to one hour and should not be left alone until he has recovered completely. If the convulsions continue for more than five minutes or if it recurs without the person getting conscious, one needs immediate medical attention.
