Remedy code: 3- 655.73.01.
A little boy of almost 4 years, he is enterprising, and busy, big spectacles with black frame balances on his face. He has a sweet character, and is caring, a wise little fellow, he knows a lot. Sitting still is difficult. Now he almost weekly suffers from pain in the ears, coryza, and coughing, after swimming for example. The nasal tonsils went out at age two. He has dreams, and nightmares, also while awake, he is then afraid of crooks, etc. He doesn't dare to go to the toilet alone, the dark is scary, the parents have to come with him, or he doesn't hold it anymore. In the night he can scream, and run towards his parent. When he was little he got a lot of antibiotics. At three months he got sick, with high fever, had 5x renal pelvic inflammation, and kept screaming and sleeping badly. Prophylaxis: multiple types of cures, still infection kept coming back. An ultrasound showed dilated renal pelvises on both sides. After surgery, he was doing well. For the first two years still, he kept crying a lot that went through the marrow, afterwards he also turned out to have reflux of the stomach, cow milk intolerance, and fruit allergy. He was screaming 7 times a night, an antiallergic helped. The night he was busy, restless, and was irritable. During sleep, he keeps turning, hitting, and mowing a lot. When he wakes up he goes straight to his parents, starts rattling, is restless. At home he doesn't want to go to the hallway alone, āI don't dareā. His eyes have a strong defect, they have only known this for a few months but with glasses, there was no change in behavior. About feeling emotions: the moment he experiences emotions from his parents he goes āover the topā, if there is tension, he can feel the atmosphere. Then he gets hyper, runs, and gets busy. He also got sick once after hearing something violent. At school he is doing well, sometimes he canāt concentrate and is confused. He can get angry for a while, or he will bully his sisters, he is even bossing his older sister. At school he is very sweet, if there are problems he will tell the teacher, but he will not hit back himself. He is afraid of thugs. ENT: after the vaccinations he got sick right away, inflammation on the airways with coughing, later he had inhalers. He often had snot bubbles, and barking cough. The ears: you notice that he starts talking very loudly, and days later there is dark brown earwax. The nose discharge is watery, or green bubbles. The stool is still variable, sometimes he suddenly has an urge, and he has to run and then rocks it out. Pregnancy: until 20 weeks the mother was very nauseous, she was emotional, and there was stress on the business, it was a colleague who was not functioning, and frustrating the business. Delivery was a drama, it was not spontaneous, he would not descend, there were no push contractions and it became a cesarean. The mother was very sad, breast feeding did get going.

Follow up
The first few days ENT symptoms were worse, but then improved. The fears were worse for three weeks, he did not dare to go to the bathroom alone during the day, he was so afraid. After that, he has been going alone to the toilet and upstairs alone. When he wakes now up at night he doesn't come to his parents anymore. He no longer has to hang on their legs, he can play alone. There was a turnaround after that three weeks, he became ābrave,ā at first and started yelling going in the hallway, but then that quickly subsided. He is still alternately very busy of calm. At night he still comes to lie with the parents sometimes, but not screaming every night anymore. He is calmer in sleep. He is still sensitive, if his mother is uncomfortable inside he is also contrary, he can scream, after a busy day. After three months he started coughing for a few days, no more gagging or spitting up. Usually the course of ENT was prolonged, coming back every time, but now it goes over remarkably quickly. The restlessness is no longer there every day, it changes by the day and by moment, mostly he is now lively, and sociable.
