A Persistent Fungal Infection Was Successfully Treated With Homeopathy In A Singaporean child
An 11-year-old child, Mast. A.P. (PIN: 25119), who was having Vitiligo, was receiving treatment from Dr. Shah. His parents were eagerly anticipating the expertise needed to heal their child, who was also suffering from recurrent Tinea Corporis also known as ringworm or fungal infection. He started complaining of Tinea Corporis in November 2020. He had a single, mildly itchy ringworm lesion on his back approximately 5 cm in size.
He had received medication from the dermatologist three to four times, but it always relapsed. As a result, the parents sought treatment from Dr. Shah. In January 2022, they started treatment for fungal infection too.
Physical Generals:
The child was eating only vegetarian food. He preferred salty foods and Gujarati snacks such as gathiya, puri, sev, khakra, and boondi. He didn't like cake, ice cream, sweets, or fruits. He was experiencing a lot of perspiration on his palms, soles, and scalp. Because of terrifying nightmares about ghosts and snakes, he used to scream while he was asleep.
Psychological and Family Make-Up:
He enjoyed attending school and learning new things. He was intelligent and loved mathematics. He used to get angry or cry if anyone teased him. He lived with his grandparents and parents.
Personal and Family Medical History:
He had surgery to treat his pyloric stenosis when he was one month old, and he recovered well. He once had the hand-foot-mouth disease when he was 8 months old. His paternal grandmother was suffering from Asthma.
At Life Force:
Dr. Shah studied the case in detail and according to the requirements of the case, Dr. Shah prescribed Silica C and Bacillum 30 C to the patient.
Follow-Ups:
In May 2022, after four months of treatment, his fungal infection continued to worsen, despite being on medicines. Dr. Shah prescribed Calcarea carbonicum - 30 6 pills twice a day for four months.
In the subsequent follow-up, the fungal infection patch began to dry up after the prescription was changed. His recovery from the infection improved by 60%. No new lesions were observed.
In the follow-up in December 2022, the child showed good recovery and was asked to stop the treatment.
Conclusion:
Tinea Corporis is prone to recurrence; Homeopathy improves recovery chances and addresses the tendency to contract recurring infections effectively and safely without any side effects. Homeopathy helps promote the healing of the skin in children suffering from tinea corporis.
