The children are irritable and want to be left alone. They will grumble or snap to get people to
stay away. They often have digestive, respiratory,
or headaches after an outburst of anger.

Mind:
Children who strongly dislike being carried or raised over the shoulder
(Bell. Borx. Cham. Coff. Cupr-met. Sanic.).
This state is present when the child is healthy. but the child desires
to be carried during fever and colic (Ars. Cham. Chel. Cina. Kali-c. Lyc.
Verat).
Dryness of emotions at the mental level and dry mucous membranes at the
physical level. Hence the child lacks affection or sentimental feelings,
imaginative
powers or artistic tendencies. These children usually do not miss out on
emotional security; instead, they crave materialistic security and support
(collecting toys/shoes/clothes/books/money
in piggy banks).
Materialistic children: At a very early age they play games and make
deals with other children in a business-like manner.

Child desires things urgently, but immediately refuses them when

Children who will never be attracted to buying books, reading novels or
writing poetry.
During delirium, as in fever, the child constantly desires to get out of
the bed and go home (Hyos.).
Hardworking, to an extent of being workaholic (Dreams of hard work).
Sober and reliable children.
Physical:
Children develop sore throat, tonsillitis, or upper respiratory tract
infection when they drink ice-cold water in hot weather or when they become
chilled after playing sports.
Dry mucous membranes from lips to anus, hence many times
Bryonia is called “Dryonia.”
Great thirst for large quantities of water (Ars. Nat-m. Phos. Sulph) at
long (Bry. Sulph. Verat) or short (Acon. Bell. Nat-m. Tarent.) intervals.
Neuralgias and colics < at night, by motion, inspiration, coughing;
> absolute rest/lying on the painful side.
Child prone to bilious attacks since birth.
Colic and constipation in neonates during lactation when mother develops
anger or severe mortification (Coloc. Staph.).

days at a time; stool is large, dark and dry, as if burnt (Plat. Sulph.).

Pneumonia
In the past two decades, I have seen Bry. cure innumerable cases of
pneumonia. The following symptoms were observed and confirmed repeatedly:
Child feels hot with profuse perspiration; the skin is hot and wet.
Frontal headaches just above the eyes, where any kind of movement or
exertion < headache.
Heavy, thick, white coating on a dry tongue; mouth feels dry and is very
thirsty for cold drinks at long intervals (however drinking large quantities of
water sometimes
make them more sick); bitter taste in the mouth.
Lips become dry and cracked
The look of the child is congested, sleepy and drowsy
They just cannot sit up as they become giddy and may faint (Acon. Phyt.).
They want a fan or an air conditioner, feel extremely uncomfortable in a
warm or hot room.
While coughing in pneumonia, the child usually holds his chest
I never rely on left or right-sided as a symptom in pneumonia, as both
have been treated very successfully with this remedy.
Dislikes being disturbed atall, e.g. strongly rejects coldwater fomentation,
temperature measurement, change of clothes, taking a bath, or being examined by
a doctor.
The face is dusky.
The respiration is usually short and panting and the throat is red and
congested.
These pneumonias usually occur in spring and summer months.
They dislike being talked to (Hell, Op, Ph-ac) and become irritable and
angry. Whenever they become irritable and angry, it aggravates their physical
problems (I have repeatedly confirmed this point in my practice, even in cases
of malaria and typhoid where there is increase of a degree or two in
temperature whenever a relative or
a family member tries to disturb the child).
