Alternative Medicine/5-1/2 month old son

Advertisement


Question
My son has bouts of stuffiness for the past 2 months, where he can barely breathe and tries to cough up mucus etc.  These instances are random and after a couple days he clears up again but then a few days later is back to stuffy.  He is teething since 3 months.  Can teething possibly cause this problem or is it clothing, or something else?

We also have a woodstove insert but haven't used it in a few days, yet last night I was in the bathroom running the shower trying to help my son breathe normal.

Thank you.

Answer
Hello,

I am not an expert on that field, but I think your son suffer allergic reactions, so you may check with your doctor to find out for what he allergic is.
Even if your stove is out, much toxin from the burned wood, may still be around! What kind of wood do you regular burn? It may be a possibility for the allergy!
Oxygen therapy may help your son, to clear the respiratory system. You could also try to let him sleep in an other room, you may reduce the possible allergies. And you may easier indicate what cost the allergy!
I hope you can find fast a solution, as your son will suffer mentally stress.
Good luck,

Experience

Eric is a Reiki Master Teacher and Sound Therapist. Reiki and Sound is his love and interest. He always played music like any professional musician until he was attuned to Reiki. That attunement changed his perception and understanding of music, or rather of sound. He began to question what is Music, and what is Sound. In this questioning, a whole new universe opened up to him.
