Greetings All
My daughter (3 1/2 years) has lately started to roll her
eyes (as if looking upwards). This symptom appeared a
couple of months back. She does that when she is
thoughtful (and sometimes gloomy). She actually stares in
a direction (sometimes suddenly while playing) which
sometimes is followed by rolling of eyes (as if she is
looking upwards).
The rolling lasts for only 1-5 seconds. And she is back
herself once it is over. She does it more often when she
is feeling let down or generally sad. And yes she is
keeping sad quite often these days. The symptom (rolling
eyes) becomes more frequent when she is sleepy. She takes
a lot of time in going to sleep though she is visibly
very sleepy. She also aggressively rubs her eyes when she
is sleepy.
She also has a younger brother. There is a lot of sibling
rivallary. She is visibly sad if somebody praises her
younger brother or when her mother is paying more
attention to him.
Of the other symptoms, she has acute aversion to milk and
curd. She takes/likes other milk products (like cheese and
Indian sweets) though. The aversion to milk started after
a high fever (and convulsions) around three years back.
She also has a lot of dandruf.
Rolling of eyes is a new symptom. The other symptoms have
been there for a period of two years.
After consulting reportory, I gave her Pulsatilla 1M.
After taking the medicine, she urinated quite a lot (every
half an hour). She also started sleeping more than she
usually did earlier. I also felt that there is some
aggravation followed by some improvement. But after one
week of giving the medicine, she has not shown much
improvement.
Please help me find the right medicine for her.
Regards
