Question 1

can homeopathy cure child asthma?

Accepted Answer

No: There are no scientifically proven cures for asthma. Keep in mind that homeopathic medications are not safe simply because they are "natural",  there are many natural compounds that can cause illness in humans. Unfortunately, homeopathic medications are not regulated by the fda in the same way as prescribed medications and oftwen avoid regulation by being labeled as foods or dietary suppliments.

Question 2

what does homeopathy do for treating a child's asthma?

Accepted Answer

Not much.: Homeopathy was popular in the 19th century but has since fallen into disfavor. It is based on the principle "like cures like" so drugs which cause the symptoms which are being treated are given but, so as not to aggravate the symptoms, very dilute solutions are used. Scientific studies have shown like doesn't cure like so this principle has not been taught to md's for over 100 years.

Question 3

can homeopathy cure chronic anxiety allergies and asthma , been seeing my homeopath for four months now , still no better?

Accepted Answer

Chronic problems: ...Take longer then 4 months, however, you should communicate with your practitioner express your doubts, and review your treatment plan.  I would like to see anxiety level improve first, then asthma, and lastly allergies as your progression to health.

Question 4

can you tell me is there any homeopathy medicine for asthma associated with sever allergic symptoms such as cold, sneezing, etc?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are: Yes, there are over 500 homeopathic medicines (remedies) that help with various forms of asthma.  However, to select the one most likely to help you, you need to let an experienced homeopath evaluate your case.  To do this, s/he will be exploring for very unique, individual symptoms and looking at you in a comprehensive way.  For homeopathic md's and do's: http://www.Homeopathyusa.Org/.

Question 5

docs can you tell me if these are ok?  "asthma therapy homeopathic dissolving tabs" i bought them today at cvs and 10 min later my breathing is great

Accepted Answer

Harmless, but...: By def., a homeopathic remedy contains no actual medicine or therapeutic agent. As such, they do nothing for you, except to activate the very real placebo response from our body. They are generally safe, but I have one concern in your regards. You shouldn't come to depend on these tabs to the point of not having ready a rescue inhaler (e.g., albuterol) in case you get a serious attack.

Question 6

is there any permanent cure treatment for asthma for a child?

Accepted Answer

No: At the this time, with our present medical knowledge, there is no permanent cure for asthma.  Asthma is an atopic disease where hypersensitivity develops in the lungs and can be triggered by many things.  Treatment can be temporary or life-long and there is no way to predict whether someone will improve to where meds are not needed.

Question 7

how do i know if my child has asthma?

Accepted Answer

Expiratory wheezing: Everything from allergic rhinitis to full blown asthma attack is because of your immune systems responce to your environment.  A lot of children present with constant runny noses and mom and dad don't notice the wheezing.  Later as the child is exposed to more allergens they notice that it gets more difficult to breath in certain situations like exercising, or when it gets cold. Wheezing......

Question 8

how can you tell if a child has asthma?

Accepted Answer

See a doc: A thorough history and physical exam by a doc can help making the diagnosis. If the child is old enough...Maybe 6 years or more, some testing can be done right in the office...It is called spirometry...And can help determine the diagnosis.

Question 9

how are tests for asthma performed on a child?

Accepted Answer

Pulmonary Function: Pulmonary function testing can be performed on children as young as 4 years old.  Children younger than 4 can sometimes perform a peak expiratory flow test, but are usually treated based on history and physical examination and other diagnostic tests such as oxygen saturation.

Question 10

i had asthma as a child. is it possible i could still have it?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A small percentage of people 'outgrow' their asthma, but most tend to have some sort of exacerbation with an upper respiratroy infection or allergies as adults.
