Is There A Substitute For Penicillin In Homeopathy?
Hi,
My child age of 8, has a mild Sidenham Chorea, no signs of previous ARF. EEG, MRI scan, Videocardiogram dont show any damages. Is there a homeopatic cure or substitude of the penicillin he is supposed to take for at least another 10 years?
Thank you, Svetla

1. since chorea is a delayed manifestation of rheumatic fever [jones major criteria] and appears after a long latent period from the antecedent streptococcal infection, thus other manifestations [ARF/EEG/MRI] may be normal when chorea appears, thus regular supervision and follow up is necessary.
2. Make sure that the attending physician examine the heat for any valvular lesion, search for exophthalmos, butterfly rash in face, signs of hepato-cellular failure, K-F ring in cornea or polycythemia.
3. Penicillin is the safest and drug of choice for the above said pathology, which will prevent infections and complication like SABE [subacute bacterial endocarditis]
PS. In Ayurveda we along with Penicillin give Immunomodulators for increasing the immunity which will help him ward of opportunistic infections. [kindly consult in your locality]
