Asthma is a bit tricky, because there are a variety of remedies and protocols. I see the one you are referring to. Yes, I would choose the baseline (such as Kali Carb) to stick with. The once a week would be for mild cases. More severe could be up to once a day. Kali carb can help with cough too. As for the acute remedy, such as Ipecac for cough, if it's not helping, then I would look for another option. Chelidonium 6X is an alternate that is is some of the other asthma protocols. Kali Iodatum as well (it often says wheezing, but it's not only for wheezing.) Coughs can be challenging, so it is totally fine to search for the remedy that gives acute relief. The Kali Carb is to uproot the lung condition, the Ipecac would be the acute. If the acute doesn't help the cough, after SOS dosing every 15 15-30 minutes for 5-6 doses, then it's time to move onto something else. There are A LOT of great cough remedies. So don't give up. Some others might be Carbo Veg, Rumex, ones likes Drosera and Spongia, Conium, and the list goes on.
Thanks for the reply! And thanks for your advice about my kitty too- we lost her but she seemed comfortable until the end. I really appreciate all the information!
So this means we shouldn't "tweak" the protocols, correct? For example, I am using the protocol for asthma for my son that involves Kali Carb once weekly and Ipecac twice daily for chronic cough. I have been tempted to switch out the Ipecac for a different acute cough medication because it's not really a gagging cough, but involves phlegm he has difficulty bringing up. But I should not do this, but should trust the protocol to work with the diagnosis even though it's not individual? Thanks for your posts, I am learning a lot!
