Healing Help with Homeopathy Truthful Tale # 1
Would my child ever stop coughing?
I had not been well my entire life with symptoms that no doctor understood nor could diagnose. “She’ll be fine, just try this,” we would hear. I wasn’t fine; medications seemed to make me ill rather than improve or eliminate my symptoms. As life unfolded, I just got sicker. I was beyond frustrated. Twenty-three years later, I found help when we needed it for our young daughter’s chronic croupy cough … A really croupy cough.
Our lovely Elizabeth basically never stopped coughing. It was an omnipresent, hacky cough. She had sustained these symptoms since birth and had to be hospitalized at 7 weeks of age. Several times a day, she would have 20–30-minute fits that continued into the night, for most of her two and a half years. …. My husband and I were beside ourselves, and exhausted. Our child was run down and sick, and a mere toddler. Addressing the croup, medical doctors had not dispensed medication for her (that was fine with me) but had advised that we wrap her in a blanket and take her outside in the fresh air/cold. This is sound advice and it sure helped on occasion, but it didn’t get rid of her hacky, barking cough. Of course, her throat was terribly inflamed at that point, as well.
