Children cases through Homeopathic perspective

       Understanding a child in short span of time for a Homeopathic prescription is quite challenging from beginning of my clinical practice.However with the time passes and after a long journey of more than 20   years of exclusive Homeopathy clinical practice,I have decided its my duty to share the experience with every fellow practitioner.

        Its very important for a doctor to treat the case as a whole ,that is the person with disease.We some time treat the cases with name of the disease,which only gives us partial result.So whenever we come across the opportunity to understand a child we should provide them the safety and security by friendly manner.Our chamber should have spacious,clean with beautiful wall paintings .We  should have some toys or candies for making them comfortable like homely feelings.Before case taking we should have enough time for the child. A free mind that is unprejudiced and open to receive  each minor details of the child makes a good case-taking for hitting the right similimum.We should cross check the important points with both the child and his or her attendant(parents or guardians) from time to time while case receiving.However a keen observer could easily catch the child by his experience as the children are usually naive, pure,simple and truthful in their behaviour.

         Its necessary to keep the physical details like height,weight,complexion with previous pathological findings and allopathy prescription with vaccination details in the case taking file,which every general practitioners do.Present complains with stool,urine,perspiration,thermal and thirst should be taken  at first.In acute cases causative factors or ailments from may aid for quick prescription,but not in most cases. However here is my intention to explore some personal queries that's quite necessary for a Homeopath to know for better understanding the child ,that is how,when and what made the child to be brought here. These questions and rubrics are exclusively from mind section of our repertory.
