An 11-Year-Old Boy Got Great Relief From Stress-Induced Laryngeal Cough With Homeopathy
An 11-year-old obese child, Mst R.K.M (PIN: 19480) visited the clinic of Life Force on 18th July 2012 with a bad coughing spell. His complaints had started bothering him 8 months back. He was suffering from a continuous episode of cough which continued for 2-3 months, and he was not responding to antibiotics or any other treatment. He was diagnosed with a case of laryngeal cough. His present episode was triggered 4 days back, and he was continuously coughing. He had a bad cough, which was dry and had a barking sound. His mother mentioned that he was undergoing some stress at the school. Mst R.K.M was put in an international school, and the school culture and its standard were very good. The child had started going to school, but he would not feel very comfortable in the school. He could not cope up with the school pressure and the study pattern. Initially, he would find excuses to escape from going to school. The pressure increased further, as in his class he was constantly compared with others who were much better in studies and other activities. He began suffering from a mild cough, and then the cough was so severe that he would get long spells of coughing which lead to his long absenteeism in the school. His absenteeism increased to such an extent that finally his parents decided to change his school and he was put in a government school. They had taken an opinion from a local physician and started with antibiotics, but the child was not responding to any form of the treatment. The change in school did help in reducing the cough, but the spells of cough would still reoccur and affect him again. The child could still not forget the bad memories in the last school.
At this stage, the parents of the child read about Life Force and about Dr. Shah and approached our clinic. His case was taken in detail.
He was a vegetarian, and his appetite was excess. He had a strong liking for junk food. His thirst was reduced, and he could not take much water, and, with the cough, his thirst for water had reduced further. He was experiencing excess perspiration. His urine and bowel habits were normal. Thermally, he was hot and could not tolerate an excess of heat in any manner.
He was studying in 9th standard. He had an elder sister who was studying in 12th standard. His mother was a housewife, and his father was working as a purchase manager in a tire company. On asking for further details, the mother mentioned that Mst. R.K.M was quite lazy by nature. He would not like any kind of physical exertion which was also one of the causes of his being overweight. He was average in his studies. He had very few friends, and, in his class, he would be shy to make friends as he was constantly teased about his weight issues. In such a situation, going to school was a painful event for him.
Based on his medical details and after studying his case in detail, Dr. Shah prescribed him some research-based medicines.
Follow-Ups:
On 1st August 2012, Mst. R.K.M visited the clinic again with his mother, and he reported that his relief from his cough was much better. The spells of coughing had reduced. He was asked to continue with the same medicines.
At the follow-up after two months of the treatment on 12th September 2012, Mst. R.K.M. reported a very good improvement in his relief from cough. His spells of coughing had stopped completely.
His parents were also very happy to see such outstanding positive improvement in their kid’s health with quick and effective homeopathic treatment. Considering the nature of the disease condition, he is still continuing the treatment.
Conclusion:
This case highlights that homeopathy is highly effective in treating cold and spells of coughing successfully and safely without any side-effects. This case highlights a very quick and effective homeopathic treatment benefiting an 11-year-old boy incredibly who was suffering from a stress-induced laryngeal cough.
