Dear Snoopy & Carol,
Thanks for your help. The question now is whether Tub is needed and which potency is the best to administer, incase Tub is the right remedy. I am posting here the complete details on son's case. The other remedies recommended by the homeopath along with Tub were Nat Ars 30 & Penthora 30 once a day.
Let me know if you have further questions on the case.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Rajan

Present Complaints: Chronic Sinus Infection / Fever Problem
He has sinus allergies & gets sick (fever) too often. His sinus allergies are hereditary & we don't know what he is allergic to. His allergy/sinus/ fever problems started about 4 years ago when he started going to school. Usually, he gets runny nose & is stuffed up. His nasal discharge is 12 months a year. His eyes and the area below get puffy and his lips get dried and flaky. Currently, the puffiness below the eyes is only in the morning. He also has post-nasal drip. Frequently, this nasal discharge becomes yellowish-greenish & develops fever.
In fact, currently his chest is congested too & is sometimes (once in a while) mildly coughing. He does not have any chills and is not complaining about anything other than nasal discharge & headaches as mentioned below. In general he is active & healthy.
He usually has been complaining of headache at the back of his head. This is throbbing pain & worse on motion & in heat. Sometimes he does not have headache but if he is sitting in a car for sometime he complains of headache i.e. gets headache due to motion.
He frequently gets chest congestion usually followed by dry cough. He also frequently gets ear infections in the past but currently does not have this problem.
Past History-
No other problem other than flu or sinus problems. Taken all childhood immunizations as required by system here.
Family history-
Dad & Mom have sinus problems too. No TB or any chest problems in the family.
Thirst: Normal
Appetite- Normal but picky eater, strictly vegetarian. Complains about nausea if he drinks milk in the morning/breakfast, and says his stomach started hurting, but he is OK if he takes milk in the evening. In general, he likes milk.
Reaction to temperature- Normal. Sometimes complains about stomach ache & headache in excessive enclosed heat. OK in open air. Does not like to be covered in the night but in general he is on the chilly side.
Bowel habits- Normal, regular.
Urine - Normal.
Perspiration: Normal
Mentals- In general he is very bright, social, active kid. Extrovert, & doesn't keep anything to heart. Talks too much…too many questions…some of them, which I feel if he thinks & tries to figure out himself, he should have the answers to his questions. But he is very quiet, shows no restlessness in school, but lacks confidence. I think there is a bit of restlessness in him. He is very well behaved & stays still in class but when he comes home I feel he is a bit restless…lacks concentration…changes posture etc. I feel he lacks the concentration level to the extent as I feel he should have. He is a bit careless, will forget his things at school, often spill things etc….could be more responsible.
Current Symptoms: Lots of nasal discharge, yellowish greenish in the morning, rarely coughs but has chest congestion. Tired all the time, looks weak and pale.
