Re: Pertussis- anyone ideas? Send us some love and light!

Carolyn,

My ASD child coughed for 4, 5 months since the second month of using Zithromax.

These herbal tinctures were helpful for him.

My son still has nasal and sinus congestion. He no longer coughs.

Hope yours feel better soon.

Drosera Rotundifolia is the homeopathic remedy for Pertussis.  You can read about it here: http://abchomeopathy.com/r.php/Dros.  I think Wholefoods might carry lower dilutions.  30C and 200C is what is usually given for acute illnesses. 

Of course, it's best to consult a homeopath especially since you have young children.  If you choose to try, you could start with the lower dose.  If you give a watery dose it's easier to control minute dosages and is often more effective than dry remedy (i.e. giving the pellets straight).  Our homeopath usually advises us to dissolve two pellets in 8 oz. of water then take 1/4 tsp. from that and dilute in another 4 oz. of water, then give 1/4 tsp. from that.  Subsequent doses require succussions (can be as little as one or two " bangs " of the bottle on the counter or your hand) before giving another dose, also diluted in 4oz.  Increased strength is given by increased number of succussions or larger dose, e.g. 1/2 tsp. and then stronger still by giving straight from bottle rather than diluting again.

Hi all,

Both mine are coughing with the classic whoop on the inhale. One 8 and one 5 year old.

Any input on what to expect and supportive advice/energy/prayers much appreciated. They are fine except in these spasms... which can lead to vomiting and very red faces.

It is a spasmotic gasping for air that lasts only a minute or 2 thankfully. Every 2-5 hours at night, but not frequently during the day. Their energy is fine overall.

I am really hoping someone can help me-

Been supporting detox and immune-

High vit c and antibacterials/virals/etc...

Using lightworks- castor oil packs, far infra red, hot baths, etc...

Any help very much appreciated.

We have bad days and good days- no obvious trend of improvement yet...

Feel free to email me offlist.
