I'm sorry, I thought it was definitely a thread worm. It is important to know exactly what kind of worm it is, as certain remedies have an affinity for certain parasites; though Karen did say that the description in Boericke for Teucrium matched her son's symptoms.

It's not so much that we need the constitutional remedy; we need to know how he's different from his normal self, since the worm infestation; because the worms come from the external environment (playing in the soil, putting the fingers in the mouth) not from the mental/emotional soil, as it were. It's like, a person steps on a rusty nail and develops symptoms of swelling, heat, etc. How would the constitutional remedy be relevant here? I know there are those who say that the const. remedy will treat every condition, but most of the homeopaths I've heard on this subject don't agree, such as Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman, Robert Ullman, Timothy Dooley and others.

So, I would say, when we know exactly what the worm is, we'll then want to know about the specific symptoms the child has and hopefully we can put the 2 together and see what we come up with.
