Black Eye

Years ago people used to put a leach in black eye to suck out the blood says dr. Jack Jeffers, an opthalmologist at wills eye hospital in Philadelphia.
Drs no longer use leeches for treatment ( thanks goodness) The best and most effective ways to block a black eye are much simpler than that. Here's how.
Ledum pal has been found extremely useful when there is extravasation of blood in lids , conjuctiva, contused wounds. It helps in healing by absorbing the blood and stopping further rupture of blood vessels and capillaries by causing natrual constriction of blood vessels.
Pack in ice.Cold works in Two ways. It helps keep the sweeling down and constricts the blood vessels, helps decrease the internal bleeding, which is what causes the black and blue colour.
Dr, Jeffers recommends applying an ice pack for the first 24 to 48 hours. If your eye is swollen shut, use it for ten minutes every 2 hrs the first day, he advised to make an ice pack for the eye, put crushed ice in a plastic bag and tape it to the forehead. This will prevent putting pressure on the eye.
Start on Arnica and Ledum pal
Arnica 200 c potency 5 pills has a special effect on bleeding or ruptured blood vessels. It stops the bleeding and helps nature to heal the blood vessels at fastest possible speed.
Ledum pal acts as a complimentary medicine to Arnica. It removes ecchymosis and the discoloration rapidly and perfectly.
Symphytum 200 , five pills four times a day to be given if pain persists in the eye ball. Symphytum should be given after Ledum pal and Arnica's course of 8_10 days is over.
At times due to eye injury diplopia ( double vision) sets in with bruised sore feeling in eye ball Arnica 200 five pills four times a day continue for 2_4 weeks even more if need be.
Medical Alert
For your child's eye you need to see an opthalmologist if his vision is impaired,he complains of pain in his eye, if he is sensitive to light, he complaints of double or blurred vision, or if he complains of sees something floating through his eyes.
It's not so much how it looks looking in but how it looks looking out says eye experts.
Don't blow your nose.
If it was a severe blow that caused his black eye ( something more than just bumping into a door) blowing his nose could cause his face to blow up like a balloon. Sometimes the injury fractures the bone of the eye socket, and blowing your nose can force air out of your sinus adjacent to the socket. The air gets injected under your skin and makes the eyelids swell even more. It also can increase the chance of infection.
Avoid Aspirin
Aspirin may be bad news for those with black eyes. Aspirin is an anti coagulant, meaning the blood won't clot as well. You will have a harder time stopping the bleeding that causes the discoloration says eye experts.
Relax and enjoy the show.
Once you have black eye, besides taking care and above treatment there is nothing more you can do but wait for the sweeling to go down and healing to take place. most black eyes will last about a week and it's a colourful week at that.
The injury starts out black says dr Keith Stevenson MD director of the department of emergency medicines John Hopkins hospital in Baltimore. Then as it starts to heal it will turn green, then yellow and finally it just disappears.
It is advised kindly consult your dr. before self medication.

Pompholyx

NoPompholyx
(Dyshidrotic eczema)
It is vescular eczema with chronic and recurrent lesions affecting especially the palms and soles. Here the oedema fluid accumulates to form visible vesicles or bullae. Because of the thick epidermis in these sites, the blisters tend to become larger than in other body areas before they burst.
This condition was also called dyshidrotic eczema due to its supposed ( though false) connection with sweat gland activity, since it is known to get worse in the hot weather.
Causes are hereditary predisposition to this disorder. Stress is also known to play a role in causing and being a result of this skin disorder.
Fully formed lesions show the changes of acute eczema modified the thick, overlying epidermis. The subsequent course is that of a subsiding eczema with hyperkeratosis and epidermal shedding.
Pompholyx is seen to specially affect adults before 40 years of age. But rarely in children below 10 years of age.
There is sudden onset of crops of clear deep seated, sago like, usually symmetrical vesicles, with intense itching. There is no redness of the part but a sensation of heat and prickling of palms,before attacks .The vesicles can coalesce and present as large bullae, especially on the feet. The eruptions tend to subside spontaneously within a few weeks, though scratching can make them worse. The symptoms are known to be worse during the summer months
There cab be secondary infection with pustule formation and lymphangitis complicating the symptoms in certain patients.
I cases of recurrent attacks, dystrophic changes in the nails can take place, with irregular transverse ridging and pitting thickening and discolouration.
Contact dermatitis needs to be ruled out, especially in cases where there are asymmetrical lesions with the help of a careful history and patch test
Repeated attacks of prompholyx may produce hyperkeratotic lesions that mimic psoriasis vulgaris.

Children Diarrhoea

Diarrhoea is the frequnt and repeated of stool or liquid bowel movements, excessive watery evacuation of faecal material.
Causes
There are many causes which canbe divided into major categories,
Infectious and non infectious.
Infectious causes of diarrhoea are a result of abnormal microorganism invading the bowel. Non infectious causes of diarrhoea result from disturbance of the normal function of the bowel in absorbing fluids contained within it.
Infectious causes can be further sub divided as follows
Bacteria for e.g. clostridium difficile, E coli, salmonella ( agents of typhoid fever) Shigella ( cause of epidemic bacillary dysentery/ campylobactor (another food handler is contaminant) gastro enteritis and enteric fever from contaminated food products and vibrio cholerae ( agent of cholera )
Viruses. There are many kinds of viruses that are capable of causing diarrhoea in children and Infants. During the first five years of life Mostly all children acquire Rotavirus ( which causes inflammation of the stomach and bowels to cause diarrhoea.)
Parasites A number of parasites are also known to cause diarrhoea in children and adults like.
Cryptosporidium ( especially in immune deficient children.)
Entamoeba histolytica ( causing amoebic dysentery)
Giardia Lambila.
Non infectious causes of diarrhoea can be further divided as follows.
Anatomical defects of the bowel (insteinal tract)
Hormonal imbalances (endocrinopathies)
Feeding difficulties
Malabsorption
Tumor.
Miscellaneous causes.
Anatomic defects capable of causing diarrhoea include.
Malrotation of the bowel ( when twisted)
Duplications of a section of the intestine.
Hirschsprung disease is an abnormal condition present at birth which is due to the absence of normal nerves ( ganglia) in the bowel wale. This results in enlargement of the bowel above the point of missing nerves.
At times, new born babies and Infants suffer from physiological diarrhoea due to the gastrocolic reflux which is normal.Such conditions include passage of frequent formed stool or stools immediately after feeds. An exclusively breast fed baby often passes frequent watery stools which is golden yellow in colour and non offinsive, inspite of passing several stools he is happy, hungry and gains good weight. But if there is mucous or the stools are offinsive and the baby is not looking well then medical intervention is required.
Some Homoeopathic medicines
Podophyllum This is very well suited to Infants with a bilious tendency, it is indicated when stools are watery, yellowish, green profuse and with a jelly like substance in it . At times there is billous vomiting along with diarrhoea accompanied by a lot of rumbling and shifting pain in the stomach because of flatus, which makes the abdomen full like a balloon.( It is especially useful in teething diarrhoea of children)
Podophyllum 200 ,3 pills one hourly should be given for acute attacks till it settles the stomach. Then follow with Podophyllum 30 , five pills four times a day for a month to improve the infant's digestion.
Nat Sul This is indicated when a diarrhoea is due to eating fruits, vegetables, cold food and drinks in rainy season. Normally the Child suffers from morning diarrhoea that settles down by noon. The urge to pass a stool drives the Child out of bed initially there is rumbling and gurgling in the bowels with sudden noisy spluttering greenish stools.
Nat Sul 200 , 3 pills every three hours should be given. Once the attack settles down then Nat Sul 30 , five pills four times a day for a month is necessary to improve and help digestion.
Ars alb Here the diarrhoea is accompanied by severe vomiting is due to food poisoning. There's great restlessness with intense thirst for water. But after drinking water it's again vomited out. The stool is blackish watery, very offinsive and worse at night to.
Ars alb 200 , five pills two hourly will bring the attack'under control. The greatest threat to the life of a child with severe diarrhoea comes from deydration. The loose watery stools drain out Water plus valuable chemicals and minerals from the body. Such substances as sodium, chloride and potassium are essential for the regulation of the body's fluid and acid base balances. If diarrhoea continues and is unchecked severe illness or even death will result from ensuring dehydration and the acidosis that accompanies it.
Signs of dehydration
Decrease in the amount of urine. The looks dark yellow or light brown.
Loss of usual elastic quality of the skin.
Sunken eye balls
Rapid breathing
Drowsiness or even unconsciousness.
To prevent dehydration continuously give sips of boiled water with a pinch of a salt sugar and lime 90 percent of dehydration is prevented by salt sugar lime Water.
Problems arise from contaminated water. Kindly consult your Homoeopath before self medication.

Cold allergies in monsoon

Cold allergies in monsoon.

Sneezing, itching, weeping, wheezing, coughing almost three fourth people suffer from this problem during monsoon.
Allergies all result from a characteristic in the immune system which normally serves to protect our bodies from microscope foreign invaders. The defect in question is a tendency to overact to foreign substances such as pollens that otherwise would be utterly harmless.
Here is an outline of what happens when an allergic reaction to pollen takes place.
A pollen grain lands on the membrane of the nose or lungs if a person is allergic then antibodies that recocnize these particular foreign molecules are in the neighborhood. They attack themselves to a particular type of defense cell called a mast cell.
The antibodies get stuck to the foreign molecules.
Now a network of antibodies attacking the pollen is formed which activates the mast cell. The mast cell then release the histamine which produces the symptoms of allergy.
Histamine causes the itching, it also makes the tiny blood vessels dilute and becomes leaky hence the sweeling and redness associated with allergies. The itching, running nose and sneezing of hay fever are mainly produced by histamines.
The basic course of events and its variants are responsible for allergic reactions why so many people get colds in the monsoon or exposure to moist wind while others get eczema. These differences in reaction pattern are not understood.
A combination of factors cause allergies.
Inherited ( generic) tendency.
Exposure to a molecule which acts an allergen.
Mental stress.
Sneezes are triggered by dust, pollen or any irritant particle that settles in sensitive mucus membrane of the nose, which is richy supplied by nerves
These membranes react by sending signals to the respiratory centre that is located at the base of the brain. Almost immediately, the signals are sent to the muscles involved in breathing causing the subject first to inhale, and then closed the airways and use respiratory muscles to squeeze the chest. When the air in the lungs is under high pressure, the airways suddenly open, expeling the irritant from its pathways. The air in the lungs virtually explodes upward and onward carrying everything in its path.. Each sneeze may contain about 5000 droplets and unless a hand or a handkerchief intervenes, some of this material which may be infections can travel as far as 12 feet.
Specific medicines
Here, the allergic Homoeopathic medicines have proved extremely successful and very helpful in developing long term immunity against those allergens. Thus people who are extremely allergic and develop repeated attacks of cold at times associated with moderate fever during monsoons would do well to get Homoeopathic help.
If Homoeopathic medicines are taken on a regular basis it helps in getting rid of the allergy or minimizing its attscks. There are specific medicines for monsoon cold allergies.
Dulcamara Those hot cloudy and suffocating days at the onset of the monsoon give rise to attacks of cold. One shower brings on an attack of sneezing. The nose feels completely stuffed up. You want to keep a hand or a handkerchief around the nose because the cold air irriates the nasal passage. Nose gets blocked with yellow mucus and profuse nasal discharge when the weather becomes cold due to rains . When the attack is severe, then even yellowish catarrh comes out from eyes. The patient feels feverish towards evening with icy cold feet and hands.
Dulcamara 200 five pills four times a day.
Rhux tox Cold sets in immediately on getting wet or sitting on a wet ground or getting the feet wet. The tips of nose gets red sore and ulcerated. Head feels very heavy, Pain starts from forehead and then settles at the back of the head. Eyes burn and become red with profuse discharge. Mild fever is associated with chill, body ache and restlessness. Body ache is worse on lying down therefore get up and start walking up and down.
Rhux tox 200 five pills four times a day.
Nat Sul Nose is full of thick yellowish mucus with a heavy head with thick yellow mucus drops from posterior nares. Along with cold there is bad cough with rattling of mucus in chest Nat Sul 200 five pills four times a day.
Kindly consult yourdr. before self medication.

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.
