Other illnesses
In the back of the mouth (to be correct the area is called the pharynx) there are a few special tissues concerned with the body defence mechanism. One among them is Adenoid. It lies at the back wall of the mouth (or pharynx) a little up from where we see when we look in to a wide open mouth. Just like tonsillitis adenoid can also got inflamed (swollen/enlarged) and when it does it is also called adenoid. Unlike tonsillitis adenoid (the enlarged one) can cause many problem. As it situates at the junction of nose and mouth it can block breathing space and lead to mouth breathing and snoring or a sort of croaking sound while breathing. Also constant mouth breathing can lead to lifted/projected front teeth, tongue thrusting and even facial changes. To complicate things more children with adenoid troubles are seemed to be having less mental prowess on the long run.
The conventional treatment for adenoid is surgery. But it has the usual complications. Also the associated mental imbalance is not corrected by that. Where as homeopathy can offer 100% cure in most cases of adenoids. Especially if treatment started early (at or around three years of age). The result will be not only a adenoid free child without surgery and also brighter one.
The treatment may last from six to twelve
months depending on the stage of illness and the response from the child.

Conjunctiva is literally the white of your eyes. Conjunctivitis is an infection were you get red - itchy - stingy eyes with lots of water coming out of it. Some times a cream or yellowish green mucus agglutination also will be there from the eyes. This can make it difficult for the eyes to open after a sleep. The illness usually starts without any cause and develops in a short time. In fact it is contagious and one get it from any one who is having it whether or not there is a direct contact. Even if no treatment is taken it will subside within a week or ten days. Some time even in four - five days if it is the simple form. But most of the times complications such as suppurative conjunctivitis develops. Less commonly cornea (the sensitive area of the eye out side) can be damaged which can lead to blindness. So the best idea is to take treatment.
The causative agents are bacteria, virus and some times dust, fungus or even trauma. The treatment in homeopathy include the drugs taken internally to cure the symptoms and the illness as well as eye drops which will give good relief to the itching, burning and stinging for the time being. The illness can be controlled in two to four days if you took homeopathic treatment.
As said above you will get it about 95% if your are near a patient having contagious conjunctivitis. (Allergic and traumatic ones are non-infective). But if you are very careful you can escape. For that first understand how it spreads from one to other. If a person get conjunctivitis his eyes become itchy and stingy and they produce sticky discharge too. So almost all of them scratch/rub their eyes frequently. Obviously they will touch many article around them like door handles, telephone, table top, railings, magazines and so on. When you enter the room (or are around one with the illness) you will naturally touch almost all of these yourself too! Whereby getting some minute portion of the discharge on your fingers with the bacteria/virus in it. Now the funny part begins. As soon as you see the person with big red, itchy, watering eyes you get the unmistakable sand in the eye sensation (this is purely psychological) and rub your eyes with your fingers thereby depositing the bacteria/virus directly on your conjunctiva.
The simple secret of escaping from this is this. If by any chance you see or remain with a person having the illness take at most care to "not to touch your eye with your fingers" As soon as you leave that surrounding get your hand washed with soap and water. This will reduce the risk by about 90%. If you are a patient you also you can help others by not giving it to them. For this one trick is again not to touch your eyes with "your fingers". Instead keep a folded towel (if any disposable tissue is not available) with you and always wipe your eyes with the inside of the towel. Wearing large glasses whether plain or tinted will also help (by minimizing the chance of you touching your eyes)
Lastly a myth buster: Conjunctivitis will not spread from one person to other by merely looking in to each others eyes.
