Case of adenoids, acidity and dental decay

A child about 7 years old came with recurrent dental decay issue, the decay was in the lower milk teeth. I asked if she slept with mouth open (this dries the mouth and leads to decay). Mom said she did that and used to snore loudly. This pointed to adenoids.

So I asked if adenoids was diagnosed before, she said in a routine dental OPG adenoids were seen about 3 years ago.

Now adenoids in kids are caused by low grade H pylori infections so I asked if she had acidity bouts. Mom look surprised and said yes yes, its very bad, we give her antacids for this.

I put her on following meds

• low dose Hpylori

• homeopathy amm carb (removes the ammonia the H pylori make to escape acid)

• low dose ozone

• bismuth met (it removes the hypergastrenemia caused by persistant anta acids – the child used to vomit upon eating, too much gastrin causes increases stomach motility)

• sang can (if she did not eat on time she would get vomiting with a headache)

Next day morning her mom called to say that there was zero snoring and no requirement of any anta acid.
