Lycopodium for Tonsillitis Homeopathic Case

LYCOPODIUM for Tonsillitis Homeopathic case study:

Girl six years old – Her mom says:
She has trouble with tonsils. She often has a sore throat, and then she gets antibiotics. In addition, She always has a stuffed nose, but with no discharge, so she has some difficulties breathing during the night. She snores and keeps her mouth open. Especially, She sleeps with us in bed, and she is restless during her sleep. She does not sleep during the day. In this case, Lycopodium for tonsillitis in Homeopathy is the first grade remedy comes to our mind.

In addition, she likes to cuddle a lot. She is very shy. She does not like boys, because they are naughty, they fight and hit other children. Moreover, She runs away if she sees a fight. Two or three times she has had nosebleeds. She is in love with a boy, smaller than her. They are the same age she is going to the ballet. It suits her because she has the build and talent for dance. Moreover, She is fast and slick, compared with other children.

Her Mother further narrates:

Especially She likes sweets, chocolate. She likes strawberries most of all fruits. Her appetite is generally weak. At home, her appetite is ok, but at kindergarten, she eats almost nothing. I think that is because she is scared of naughty boys there. She is, also, afraid of people especially when they are yelling. Since she has given up a pacifier, she calms down by touching her father and mother’s ear.

The girl is very shy, with fragile built. To some of our questions, she answered very maturely for her age. She is very timid, scared of bigger and stronger people, while she looks down on a boy smaller then she is. She is amative, likes sweets, especially chocolate, has a weak appetite, and likes ballet. Based on these observations we recognize an image of a plant with a yellow flower.
