A 7-Year-Old Child With Nephrotic Syndrome Healed & Got Rid Of Steroid Dependency With Homeopathy
A 7-year-old male child from Rajasthan, Master. A. S. (PIN: 43836) started treatment from Life Force Homeopathy online for his complaints of nephrotic syndrome on 1st October 2020.
He was suffering from nephrotic syndrome for almost 1 year. He had experienced the first episode of nephrotic syndrome a year back. He was on steroids for 4-6 months and was better. However, the protein leakage was noticed again in the last few days. A mild swelling had developed in his abdomen. The patient’s parents understood that it was a recurring disease so, along with steroids, they also started with homeopathic treatment. After analyzing his detailed medical history, it was found that the child had a cough and cold a few days back and that had triggered his nephrotic syndrome.
Physical Generals:
The child had an average appetite. He loved salty food and fruits. His thirst for water was excessive. He used to experience average perspiration. His sleep was normal and refreshing.
Psychological Make-Up:
The patient was studying in primary school. He was very hyperactive and talkative and had a mild concern regarding his concentration level.
Self and Family’s Medical History:
No other major illnesses were noticed in his medical history. The patient had a strong history of Diabetes Mellitus on his paternal side of the family.
At Life Force:
After studying the case in detail, Dr. Shah prescribed some research-based homeopathic medicines along with dietary tips to the patient.
Follow-Ups:
On 28th November 2020, the patient’s parents reported that he was overall better with the homeopathic medicines. He did not experience any episodes after he started following the homeopathic treatment. His urine protein was negative. The swelling on his abdomen was less than before. He had reduced the steroid dose on his own and still, the patient was stable.
On 13th January 2021, the patient’s parents updated that their child was stable. 1 episode of acute cold and cough had occurred due to the cold weather and, for 1 month, the patient was stable with an increased dose of steroids.
On 18th March 2021, the patient’s parents updated that he had another episode of acute cold and cough and so there was a slight increase in his urine protein loss but was managed with steroids along with homeopathy.
On 27th April 2021, the patient's parents updated us that he had another episode of acute cold and cough, and his loss of protein in urine was increased for 2-3 days in between, hence, the steroid is continued along with homeopathy.
On 29th June 2021, the patient's parents updated that the child was completely better without steroids and his protein loss in urine was nil solely with homeopathy.
On 25th August 2021, the patient's parents updated that he had experienced an acute episode of cold and cough due to a change of weather which triggered urine protein loss and so had to restart a small dose of steroids again along with Homeopathy.
On 25th October 2021, the patient's parents updated that he was stable with no urine protein loss and was on a reduced dose of steroids along with homeopathy.
On 17th December 2021, the patient's parents updated that he was stable with no urine protein loss even after stopping steroids. The patient’s condition was managed solely with Homeopathy.
On 20th February 2022, the patient's parents updated that he was completely well without any urine protein loss. The steroids were stopped 2 months back and he was well solely with Homeopathy.
In his further follow-ups, the patient was fully stable. He was better in his relief from the frequent attack of cold and cough.
The patient is still under treatment at Life Force Homeopathy. His parents and family are extremely grateful to Dr. Shah and the entire team for the improvement that they got to see in their child. They thanked Dr. Shah for helping him get rid of steroids and other medications during the treatment course at Life Force Homeopathy.
