Chronic childhood urticaria with angioedema improved through homeopathy safely
An 11 year old child with a two year history of chronic urticaria suffered from daily hives, intense itching, burning, and recurrent angioedema despite antihistamines and steroids. Episodes were triggered by food, sun exposure, and emotional stress, affecting daily life and causing parental concern. After a detailed constitutional assessment, Dr Shah prescribed individualized homeopathic medicines. Over regular follow ups, the frequency, duration, and intensity of episodes reduced steadily. Antihistamines were stopped early, food triggers no longer caused reactions, and the child remained episode free for months with sustained improvement.

11 year old child Sanchit (Patient Identification Number: 16679) visited Life Force on 10th August 2011 for his complaints of Chronic Urticaria.
He has been suffering from chronic urticaria for the last 2 years. The frequency of episodes was almost daily, lasting 1-2 hours despite medication. The episode would start with Hives covering nearly the entire body, with severe itching and burning. It was accompanied by angio oedema, i.e., swelling of the eyelids, lips, cheeks, palms, and soles. The episode was also triggered by particular foods such as tomato, cold drinks, and sun exposure. He was on antihistamine and steroidal medications.
Sanchit was fair, fat, and flabby. His appetite was normal. He has an intense craving for spicy food and an aversion to sweets. His perspiration was normal. His stools and urine were also normal. Thermally, he preferred hot weather more.
He was studying in the 3 rd standard. His father was a Businessman and into stock market. His mother was a housewife. He was the only child. His parents were very concerned about the urticaria as it was not coming under control.
He was obstinate in nature. For him, right was right and wrong was wrong. He would express his thoughts on the spot. If his parents scolded him, he would not like it and would ask them to be polite. He never liked authority; if someone would dominate him, he would get angry, and his urticaria would increase. Any negative emotion had a direct impact on his Urticaria.
His father also had a history of Urticaria. His paternal grandfather had Cancer and Diabetes and grandmother had Hypothyroidism.
His case was studied in detail by Dr. Shah and he was prescribed Calcarea Carbonica 30c single dose along with research medicines for Urticaria.
Follow-ups:-
First follow-up:
After 2 months on 4th Oct 2011, his father reported over the phone. He was better. Now, the episode would occur whenever he got angry, but it was short-lived. The intensity and duration of the episode had reduced. His father was happy because, over the last 2 months, he had not required even a single dose of an antihistamine. Every time the episode would subside on its own after a short duration.
Second follow-up:
After 2 months on 30th November 2011, his Urticaria had further improved. There was more than 70% improvement. In the last 2 months, there were only 6-7 episodes of urticaria, and these were limited to restricted areas of the palms and soles. The itching had also reduced. After starting with the treatment at Life Force, he never had to use antihistamines.
Third follow-up:
After 4 months on 19th March 2012, he was much better. There was a significant improvement in his Urticaria. In the last 3-4 months, he has had 2-3 episodes.
Fourth follow-up:
After 4 months, on 20th July 2012, his Urticaria had further improved. He just had 3-4 episodes in the last 4 months, and those, too, were self-limiting.
Final follow-up:
On 11th Feb 2013, his father reported that in the past 6 months, he had not had even a single episode of Urticaria. Now he can eat any foodstuff. There was no episode, even with sun exposure.
He is still on homeopathic medications. His father was very happy with the improvement Homeopathy has brought about in such chronic cases of Urticaria.
