AH!! This is always the problem I find with homeopathy, so many remedies sound correct, at least to me. After reading various materia medicas, I decided upon coccus cacti because the remedy was SO MUCH like him, though Pustilla also rings true. After only 1-2 hours of giving him his first dose of 30c (that is the only potency I have) he vomited four times, it was his previously injested food. He vomited more in last 3 hours than he has in the previous weeks. I hope this is an aggravation and he will soon start improving. I think I'll give him another dose tomorrow morning?

I'm still very concerned about my 6mn old baby because yesterday for the first time he started developing a cough. I don't see a clear picture yet though he has dry, scaly, cheeks which are very red. They are always dry but not red in the morning and by afternoon or early evening his cheeks are flaming red. He also has small white pin size bumps over his face, and legs, though none on his body. His cough is not too alarming though it sounds like a tickle in his throat with a rattling sound. He often arches his back and becomes stiff, esp. when nursing and likes to hang upside down. He is a very easy going baby, chubby and sweet but he has been a bit fussier lately with a slightly snotty nose (yellow in appearance). As I said his picture really isn't clear, but I don't want him to whooping cough at 6 months. I have given sulfer for his rash, but that did not seem to be the remedy.
