My 4 years old son has psoriasis in nails and foot. Sometimes in aggravates, we didn't find any improvement on various medications using salicylic creams, moisturizing creams, lotions, vitamin H, E syrups etc etc. My personal observation is that when his foot cracks aggravates he falls sick with fever and cough and takes some antibiotic and it improves foots. Regarding nails we have seen that antifungal creams has shown improvement. We used it based info from a blog. Please suggest best diagnostic and treatment.

Hi, following are a few things I would advise for your son. (a) a mediterranean diet rich in whole grain cereals, leafy greens and fresh fruits. Especially, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, green peas, lentils etc all help in this condition. (b) make sure, his diet is a low protein one. Include healthy proteins like lean meat and fresh water fishes. Avoid salty fishes including prawns, shell fish etc all. (c) evaluate food items and also environments he is allergic to, and try that those triggers are best avoided. (d) stay well hydrated. Fresh fruit juice including that of sweet lime, lemon, oranges, apple etc all help. (e) avoid hot, spicy, chilly, sour etc all diet that trigger inflammatory conditions. (f) avoid high calorie, sweets, greasy, oily and fried food stuff including fast foods. (g) topically (external) use 0.5% aloe vera gel two to three times daily. (h) a good multi-vitamin supplement with zinc & folic acid helps. Administer as directed by your paediatrician. (i) 5 ml of dabur honitus taken internally, two to three times daily, helps ameliorate cold & cough conditions. Hope the above-mentioned helps. Take care and all the very best.
