Posted on Wed, 16 Apr 2014
Question: Hello Doctor, I have got a 1 year old daughter. She seems to have got some phlegm inside, as I can feel it when I put my hand on her chest / back. She is not having any runny nose as such, but is coughing occassionally. Please advise. Thanks

Brief Answer: Hello XXXXXXX Thank you for the query. Detailed Answer: Hello Friend, Why you are worried about the phlegm inside the chest of your daughter? It is a part of nature's preventive or defence mechanism. Your baby must have exposed to unfavourable situations both physical and mental, against which the body is reacting by producing phlegm. It is a healing phase of the event. There are innumerable methods inside the body to take this phlegm from inside the lungs, bronchiolar and bronchial tubes to outside. The phlegm will be carried up to the throat by cellular mechanism and will be swallowed to stomach in case of babies because they do not know how to cough this up. The occasional cough is aiding this process. You should not in any case give her any drug to stop the cough or to reduce the phlegm. The nature will take care of everything. If the cough is very strong and if the baby is prolonging with the cough you have to take a constitutional remedy to help her in the defence mechanism and that is Homoeopathy. I do not think that at this instance she needs a treatment. Wait for some more time and if she is not better or develops other symptoms such as fever, you can again get back to me with the details. With best wishes, Dr C. J. Varghese Homoeopath

Brief Answer: Hello XXXXXXX Thank you for the mail. Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX Just get relaxed about the health of your daughter. Nature is the best doctor. Nature has installed in your daughter such wonderful programs to defend her from all possible illness. If anything happens very serious then only doctors are to be involved. Avoid chemo drugs and avoid vaccines after knowing thoroughly what each of those vaccines will do to your child. We Homoeopaths are against vaccinations. Hope you are satisfied by my answer. I will help you in case any adverse thing happens in your daughter's health. With Best Wishes, Dr C. J. Varghese Homoeopath.
