A mother came to me with her 11 month old daughter with a history of ear infections. Her first one was at age 4 months, several days after her 3rd round of immunizations. Since then she has had at least 5 more with antibiotics "helping" temporarily. In late January her mom noticed swelling of the left foot which turned out to be a bone infection. She was in the hospital 5 days with IV antibiotics. Since then she has had 2 ear infectrions. Her foot is now fine and the most recent sed. rate was normal.

Currently, she appears sick. Glassy, large eyes. Hispanic descent. She is fairly calm but demands to be held and comforted by mom. Mom states that it has been this way for months. She doesn't sleep at night except with mom and dad. She will wake at night, cry, then crawl towards mom and lay on her and go back to sleep.
She is warm to touch,and always takes her socks off!!!!!!!
Mom states that when ill she is cranky (except when consoled by mom), grabs and picks ears and face, shakes her head back and forth.

She likes almost all food, esp. bananas. Dairy upsets. She has had a constant clear runny nose since birth. She eats more than she drinks. Prefers warm drink.
Mom has noticed a black tarry substance almost like toothpaste come out of her ears.
stool is runny and red when on penicillin. Her ear is full of wax, eardrums are red. Infection has been in both ears.

Most notably is DEMANDS COMFORT FROM MOM, PULLS SOCKS OFF FEET.

As homeopaths we should all be rich, as "modern medicine" seems to be operating a poisoning mill; taking healthy babies and starting at birth with the Hep-B vaccine, the poisoning begins; more vaccines soon follow, then come the inevitable infections, and the antibiotics, followed by more vaccines and more infections, more antibiotics, now comes the asthma and the sinusitis and more antibiotics...the entire population is sick! All you have to do to get on this bandwagon is make regular visits to your doctor.

I hope Ricky's suggestion works, let us know!

Do look at Gaertner which can be given when too many antibiotics have been taken. Only ever give one dose and don't repeat for at least 3 months if at all. Normally initially causes diarrhoea which is the toxins coming out.

Absolutely Snoopy! It breaks my heart to hear that my new newphew has just been inducted into this regime. Waiting for the the ear infections to start. Such a shame as he is such a healthy, troublefree, happy baby. I almost puked when I was told he got a little sick from the vaccinations, but according to the doctors its normal so everything is good! I'm supposedly the one with a "loose screw"...

I have a new baby niece who's off to a great start with BOTTLE FEEDING!!! and I'm sure the vaccinations have already begun, so...here we go!
I'm surprised that so many kids live through this!

Oh, we haven't even mentioned all the problems caused by introducing solid foods before the digestive fluids are there!

it sounds like the psora has been awakened by the vaccination, and then run riot somewhat.

your case taking has elicited some useful symptoms.

at this stage you might try approaching the raft of symptoms by looking primarily at the most recent ones that have come up - see what remedy has those in most characteristic grade. you might find it covers the whole case - or its administration might bring another set of symptoms which you can then treat in an orderly way with the then-indicated remedy, and so on, until the child is restored to health.

Puls covers a lot here like, child desire consolation,thirtlessness and increased 'wax',constant running nose ,ear infection etc covered by this remedy.
