I have checked several sites for coughs as well as Miranda Castro's book and another family homeopathic guide I have here at home. I cannot tell which remedy would work for my daughters, both of whom have coughs that don't seem to be going away after a cold.

The youngest daughter's came on after nearly a week of mucuous from the nose that drained down her throat.

The older child's cough seemed to come on much more quickly although accompanied by nasal mucous as well (not green, just clear).

Should I just let the vital force do its job or try to nudge it along with a remedy?

Thanks.

you can match either of them to a constitutional type you have the answer.
If not try low potencies which have a broadband effect .
Probably
Calc Silic 6x twice a day
or
Fer phos 6x twice a day.
may help and not do any harm.

I am actually taking my oldest for her initial consultation next week but hope the cough is gone by then.


When I do start her on her constitutional remedy, should that take care of things in the future such as coughs and colds when they flare up? And doesn't a constitutional remedy change over time depending on how we change?

I'm new to all of this so still unsure about a lot.

Thx.
