What Is The Dosage Of Arnica For Sleeplessness In Children?

Posted on Tue, 17 Feb 2015

Question: My 8 month old baby is very cranky and is not ready to sleep at all. She is in the teething phase and seems to be in a lot of pain. Her gums are swollen and red.

She has been very cranky and is not sleeping at all. Even if she falls asleep, she will cry and wake up in a few minutes. It is not possible for us to know if she is in pain.

Can we give her Arnica? If yes, dosage?

Can her problem be guessed anyhow? Is there any medicine which can help her sooth?

Welcome to Health Care Magic
During dentition phase pain in gums, tooth and other associated problem are noticed.
Many parents comes with their infants with same complain. Homeopathy do have good medicine to cure successfully such complain.
I am suggesting you some medicine you can start as prescribed
1 Chamommila 6, 4 pills 4 times in day (if 6 potency is not available take 30 potency)
2 Calcarea carb 200 three times in day
3 Calcarea Phos 3x 3 pills two times in day

Continue the medicine for a month. Medicine covers all the related problem. This will help the baby for smooth Dentition.
After one month you can stop Chammomila and Calcarea carb but continue calcarea Phos 3x

There is no use of Arnica. You can stop Arnica

Hope this is clear to you

In case of any query feel free to ask

Thanks
