Seven-year-old female child, Ms K.P.S (Patient Identification Number: 23413) visited Life Force homeopathy on 25th August 2014 for her complaints of recurrent tonsillitis and frequent colds.

Her complaints started in 2013 with recurrent episodes of pain in throat while swallowing food. Both of her tonsils would get affected equally. She would experience these episodes more in winter. Having ice-creams or playing in water would immediately trigger her complaints. She would experience pain in throat more on swallowing solids than liquids. She would experience episode of tonsillitis once in a month and would trouble her for a week. She would catch cold very easily after the episodes. On examination, it was evident that both of her tonsils were enlarged. Her parents tried various modes of treatment for her recurrent tonsillitis but nothing could help her much.

She also suffered from frequent colds. She would experience the same once in every fifteen days. The episodes would last for at least three to four days. For most of the episodes the cause of recurrent cold identified was wading in water. Each episode would start with sneezing and running nose. She would experience nose block mostly at night. Episode would further progress to cough with thick yellow foul smelling expectoration. Continuous coughing would end in vomiting. She was on frequent antibiotics and antihistamine tablets for the same.
