Dear Sir,
The patient is my son, age 5 years. He seems to be brilliant, but he is too much restless and has poor concentration in learning. He is learning language very slowly. His social communication and response is lower than other children of his age. He remains busy in his own world, and does not speak with others much. But he is highly active – more active than necessary. He is also restless in sleeping. He cries loudly while sleeping off and on throughout the night. He does not usually reply when he is called. Doctors say he is ADHD child. He has also a cough problem. Whenever he cries, he coughs too much until he cries. That means the cough is generated from crying. The cough is violent and irresistible. He cannot stop coughing until he stops crying. He is tall enough but too slim. Could you please suggest homeopathic remedies for him. We cannot see you physically because we are from Bangladesh.

Hi Dr. Sharma,
I have been having respiratory symptoms most of this year. My family doctor referred me to a specialist but I’ve been waiting 6 mos and finally have an appointment. I have gotten consistently weaker and it’s been harder to breathe. I am alone and I have to walk and take buses. I’m also 77 and was in good shape, despite a dx of mild asthma. But this congestion would just not go away even with inhaled steroids. It was affecting my cognition from decreased O2. I really got worried because there is some history of TB. I had a positive test as a teenager but it was brushed off as a false positive. However, my mom had a 4+ response to a test about 10 years later and the doctors were positive it was a latent case. I don’t tolerate most pharma meds and I was seriously concerned that if I actually also had a latent case and now it’s active, what to do?
Then I remembered from my self-study ab out Tuberculinum. I looked at your page and a few sites and decided that 30C in doses of 5×3 for 5 days would be best. After the first dose, all the junk in my lungs loosened up and was able to be eliminated. 24 hours later, I had one episode of vomiting and any mucous I had swallowed got expelled. I had also had a very distended belly most of this year. I finished my course yesterday and I am significantly improved mentally and in strength. I can walk 500 meters without being out of breath. I climbed a steep hill (30°grade, one route to my house) the other evening with no trouble.
I will see the doctor tomorrow, just in case. BTW, I am unvaxxinated.
I have been using homeopathy for about 12 years and have learned a lot on my own because we don’t have really good ones here but I can get any remedy OTC and I only use it for myself.
what dosage is recommended for five year olds
Hello! I have been looking for ways to help my children. My oldest (5, 6 next month) was recently diagnosed with ADHD/hyperactivity. He also is restless in his sleep, grinds his teeth, and quickly gets angry, also has swollen tonsils (which are being removed in a couple of months.) He also has mild asthma and coughs frequently after any high strain activity and sometimes for no apparent reason and sometimes just at night. I’m looking fir ways to help him and have found myself here. What can I give him and what dose? Thank you ahead of time for your help.
Good morning. My name is Matt and I’m writing you in regards to my 4 year old son Liam, who was recently diagnosed with pediatric generalized epilepsy. Since being medicated (approx. 6 weeks) with 2ml of Keppra twice per day, he has been seizure free. However, my wife and I have noticed that this medication has amplified what we believe to be ADHD. Liam is extremely hyperactive, exhibits difficulty in focusing, bouts of anger (hitting sister and mom) significant inattentiveness, significant inability to fall asleep at bedtime, etc. During my research, I have come across your materials. I am a big believer in homeopathic treatments, whenever possible, and I’d like to pursue it in this specific case. I am hoping you can guide and direct me to a proper dosage and/or treatment plan for my son with special attention on how these homeopathic medicines interact with his seizure medication.
Thank you
