A Case Of Recurrent URTI &
Fever(Sebia)
Dr. Gajanan V. Dhanipkar
The Case:
A girl of 3 yr 5 months
Complaint – Fever with
recurrent URTI
During fever, her mother says that
“She is extremely
irritable and dull,
always lying in bed”
She can’t tolerate anybody coming near her or even touching her.
She gets extremely angry if you ask
anything to her.
She shrieks and kicks
if anybody approaches her or
calls her.
She wants many things.
She throws things when offered to
her.
She moans during fever.
She wants her mother
to carry her and
walk in the room.
Understanding of the Case
What happens to her when she has fever?
She can’t tolerate anybody coming near her or even touching her.
She shrieks and kicks if anybody approaches her or even looks at her.
The perception of the child:
as if being touched as if being hurt
Her reaction is to:
Kick back Yell
Abuse Shriek
The patient is capricious till the time she finds relief.
The typical symptom which the mother tells is that
she is relieved only after
being carried and moving in the room
(carried, desires to be, very fast- KENT)
Carried: desires to be: relief, yet it gives no (Complete)
An infant wants the parent to carry him/her and walk very fast.
They accomplish this by non stop crying.
This suggests
Typhoid Miasm It is reflected
in the intense struggle with the
desire to be carried or to
reach a position of total peace
or recovery.
In elder children, the same state is reflected as crying, kicking and shrieking
continuously.
The perception of the child is that he will be injured if somebody approaches or
touches him.
So she continues to shout, kick, shriek in an attempt to keep away the injury so that
she can get peace.
This struggle indicates Typhoid Miasm in elder
children and also in the above case.
So combining the theme of the
Compositae family
with
Typhoid Miasm indicates-
Chamomilla
which relieved the child.
