Pellets are ok.
Use 1 or 2 pellets dissolved in 500 ml spring water, and give a teaspoon from there ONCE.

putting her finger in her right ear (not inside) but touching the top part of the ear, she was crying, inconsolably. Appetite went down drastically, from eating well this morning, to barely anything the rest of the day. Wanting only to be carried by me. She's usually happy during the afternoon and loves to play around, today she was crying quite a bit as soon as she got hurt at the doc's office. She was playing there running around in fact, she fell and hurt her head.. and the whole day she was miserable... suddenly tugging at her ears. In fact I remembered what you said about the puls and the hits, so i just hit puls 200 twice and put a drop of it in 1/4 cup of water and gave her a tspn.. i didn't really notice much difference tho.

the ear thing seems to be running in the family starting with me... i have an ear problem (right side) myself... which i've just left ignored.. i'm assuming that's where my kids get it from.. my son had right ear infection, she's digging her right ear...

Depends, normally she's tough and very bold. She follows her brother, so tries to jump off stuff, and is not scared to take a toss. She cries a bit when she's hurt, and that's about it.. doesn't make a big deal. Suprisingly, at the doc office, she cried, not that much, altho i saw the bump.. but somehow, after, she just wasn't the same. Very unusual for her.

She loves new environments, new places, new homes, outside, she loves to explore. At home she's more clingy/bored... but outside she runs away and gets excited. Doesn't like TV. Loves to see people, but as long as they don't pick her up. She won't readily go to anyone, in fact, if someone approaches her, she'll cling to me. But if she's free to roam around in an unfamiliar territory, she'll gladly do it. She fell, and then she continued the crying on/off thru the day. She wouldn't play much, eat much, she napped, woke up crying inconsolably, so i assumed she's getting sick again? I don't know.

How is she when someone goes to examine her ear?
How does she want to be carried?
Can you describe 'incosolable'?

Usually, during the afternoon, evening, she eats, loves fruit, veggies, likes to sit and eat and feed herself... she runs, plays with her toys, goes all over the house as long as mom stays in one place and she can see mom, and knows where mom is. Today she was crying wanting me to carry her. She was not angry, not cross, but whiny cry. SHe wouldn't play with her brother- which is VERY unusual. She always eats dinner, and i made her favorite, she didn't want it.
I forgot to mention this, she's hardly thirsty. She used to bf and would drink well, after weaning, she doesn't drink much- milk nor water. But she loves a wet paper napkin to rub against her lips. I don't know if that helps any.

So can you examine her ear or the bump without any problems?
When you carry her, does it matter how you carry her?
If someone approaches her, what exactly does she do?
When she is angry, what does she do?
What does she do if her brother tries to play with her or interact with her?

How is she when someone goes to examine her ear?
She's in my arms, so she'll make a sound that she doesn't like it, but she'll cooperate.
How does she want to be carried? She rests her head on my shoulders, and she'll keep pointing to the kitchen, expressing that she's hungry, i'll offer her something, she'll nod, and then when i geive it to her, she says no, wants something else.
Can you describe 'incosolable'?
She wasn't letting me sit, she just wanted me to carry her and i was doing it for a few minutes, sitting back down, and she was crying again. She did this for a bit, and then finally rested her head on my shoulders and curled, where she succeeds in adding pressure to her abdomen. Come to think of it, she didn't have a bm today, very unusual for her. She's very regular.
How was she when you went to examine the bump (or if you do it now)?
She turns away. It's a small bump- the size of a quarter, wasn't too severe. SHe's asleep now.
What does she do when someone approaches her? SHe'll cling to me for life and death, unless it's someone she knows. Then rarely, will she leave my arms.

When you carry her, does it matter how you carry her? I can never carry her with her facing the world, she's always turned towards me. She doesn't like it the other way.
If someone approaches her, what exactly does she do? Hold me, cling, makes me carry her.
When she is angry, what does she do? She reacts physically, pulls her brother's hair, scratches him. Screams, grabs onto the toy that she wants, and tries to pull it with all her might. She doesn't cry unless she's very hurt. If he takes a toy that she wants, she'll fight to get it back.
What does she do if her brother tries to play with her or interact with her? She adores him, so she imitates him, runs after him, etc.. and he's very gentle, so more often than not, if she fights with him, he gives in. She gets her way most of the time, and if not, she'll pull his hair, and he'll end up crying. Mostly, she gets excited when he gives her attention, and she watches him interact with strangers, and so is improving. At 6 months old, she used to wail if a stranger so much as spoke to her.

I don't know if she has nightmares, when she wakes up from sleep (which she does often) it's wailing for me and she gets up and sits up till i come to pacify her.
Fears, other than strangers, i haven't noticed anything else.
I really appreciate you taking time for this.
Thanks so much
Karina

My pleasure :)
If I look at the following symptoms:
Clinging wants to be held
Fear of strangers
Fear of others approaching them
Crying inconsolable
Cough, barking
Cough during sleep
...it brings up one remedy only, but I am not convinced of it - the state just doesn't seem right.
Can you tell me how she is with the dark, with dogs, with being on her own generally?

Dogs: She won't readily approach them. She hasn't shown fear yet, but she'll watch them from afar.
Being on her own: When i'm not around and there is another caretaker: they've said she's the easiest, doing her own thing and playing with her toys.
With me, and if she's been fed, and not tired, as long as i'm not walking around the house, just in one place where she knows where i am, she goes ahead and plays with toys. She's generally good and listens to instruction very well. She doesn't open all drawers and takes stuff out... she explores, and puts stuff back where they belong.
She does not like open drawers and cabinets. She goes and shuts them.
She does not like her hands dirty, even half way through a meal she'll ask to wash her hands, and when she's done eating she'll want her mouth and hands clean.
She does not like hair on her face, she'll ask to tie it up.
She likes to run around naked. Does not like to wear clothes, jackets, hats, etc.
Was scared of water when she was little, had to coax her into the tub. Now she loves the tub.
HATES water in her eyes. Absolutely cries when she has to wash her hair and water drains on her face... she cries like she's suffocating.
Used to be a really good sleeper until 5 months old, something changed after that and became restless ever since.
Not a morning person- she'll want to be carried, and just very uneasy until she's eaten quite a bit. afternoon-evening are better times for her.

Ok there are two remedies - the one that appears most indicated from the symptoms is Stamonium. The aversion to having the face covered, having water on her face, and fear of water are features of Stramonium people.
The state, though, of Stramonium is fear, terror. They cling out of fear, wake up in fear, want someone they trust to hold them. You get the feeling that they are scared. They can be aggressive but there is always a twin theme of fear in them. They fear the dark, fear animals, suffer nightmares and may wake up not knowing anyone around them, struggling to get out of sleep (or out of the nightmare).
The other remedy that doesn't appear so well in all the symptoms, but perhaps suits the state better, is Chamomilla.
Chamomilla is cranky, angry, difficult to please. They want to be picked up and will only stop crying when they are carried. They get angry about things, hit, pull hair, even bite. They are particularly sensitive during teething. There is a strong sense of being discontented, irritable, they don't know what they want or what will make them happy. Pain really affects them, and they get cranky from being in pain.
What do you think?
Do you have either of these remedies?
There are some odd things there - in terms of pursuing the case constitutionally (chronically) the issue with drawers, dirty hands, and putting things back where they belong are strange for a child her age. But for the acute I don't think it is worth fitting them in.

I've used chamomilla before- a homeopath suggested the same method as you did for an ear infection- one drop cham 1m in 1/4 cup of water.... i gave it to her, but i didn't notice any change.. in fact i was up the whole night with her. That's when she changed the rem to pulsatilla which suited her then.
I do have cham- cham 30, 200, and 1m. I don't have stramonium, never used it before.
And yes i do get the feeling that she's scared, she clings to me for dear life sometimes and is palliated once i talk to her.
But other times, she seems so bold, ready to jump off a chair (which she did the other day).
One difference i notice, when she gets very loud in her cries- if i ask her to stop crying, she stops immediately. She listens and stops. Isn't that strange...
I'll read up on stram and cham and see if i find any other symptoms that match

quick question, with a stram child- do they have a tendency for fever?
because she doesn't get fevers... she gets ear infections, colds, coughs.... teething problems... but i don't think she's ever had a fever higher than 100.

karinamom last decade
All remedies get fevers - it isn't specific enough to choose a remedy, because it is a normal reaction to infection. All human beings get fever so it doesn't help us to differentiate remedies.
Ok Stramonium it is. You probably should get a first aid kit :) All parents should because you never know what state your kids will get into.
You often see polarities in remedies - opposite states. This is a compensation for the problem.
Any fearful remedy can show fearlessness as well at different times.

David,
I agree that Stramonium is not indicated here. The fear and the panic are just not there.
Did you read my posts about tackling this constitutionally ?
