Hello I can understand your concern As a parent of 12 year old with nephrotic syndrome is it natural to be worried and seek fot alternatives But I will guide you honestly and safely ▪️Understanding your concern Nephrotic syndrome causes -loss of protein through urine -Swelling or inflammation ▪️Important answer No. Coffee and honey cannot replace prednisolone Prednisolone is important medicine in nephrotic syndrome It helps to reduce inflammation and prevent further damage to kidney Stoping or replacing it may cause further complications ▪️Why no to coffee Coffee can cause dehydration and can increase stress on kidney So please dont give coffee ▪️What should we do? I know long term prednisolone use may cause side effects what we can do is along with prednisolone give him herbal medications, follow precise diet and lifestyle improving his overall kidney health ▪️Herbal support You can start with ➖Punarnadi kwath tablets 1 tablet twice daily after food ➖Guluchyadi kwath tablets 1 tablet twice daily after food ▪️Diet for nephrotic syndrome ➖Include Have a light warm and freshly prepared food Moong dal Vegetable soups Reduce salt intake -ensure hydration ➖Avoid -junk. Food -Processed food -heavy food -oily food Honestly We cant replace prednisolone Replacing it may worsen his condition further Better to support him with conservative treatment Wishing your child a good health😊 Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

No, a 12-year-old child with nephrotic syndrome cannot replace prednisone with coffee and honey. Prednisone is a prescribed corticosteroid that specifically reduces inflammation and protein loss in nephrotic syndrome. Coffee and honey have no effect on the underlying disease and cannot control inflammation or prevent complications. Using coffee and honey instead of prescribed medication could be dangerous, leading to worsening kidney function, swelling, or other serious problems. ----Ayurveda can only be complementary here—it cannot replace prednisone or other prescribed medical treatment, especially in children —Rx- 1) Neeri KFT Syrup – 5 ml twice daily after meals 2) Neeri Tablet – 1 tablet once daily after breakfast 3) trifla tab 1 at night with Luke warm water —Diet & Lifestyle: Light meals: rice, moong dal, steamed veggies, fresh fruits Adequate water; avoid salt, fried foods, coffee, processed foods Gentle daily activity, adequate rest –Caution: Continue prednisone; Ayurvedic products are supportive only Monitor swelling, urine, and weight Seek immediate medical care if symptoms worsen

No the coffee and honey cannot replace prednisone 1) Punarnavasavam- 15 ml with equal water twice daily after food 2) Chandraprabha Vati- one tablet twice daily with luke warm water 3) Gokshuradi Gulgulu- one tablet twice daily 4) Punarnavadi Kwath- 10 ml mix with 45 ml boiled and then cold water Encourage moderate activity but avoid strenuous exercise during flare-ups of edema. Ensure the child gets 8-10 hours of sleep to support tissue repair. Keep the body warm. Cold environments can sometimes aggravate Vata and lead to further fluid retention. : Since steroids like Prednisone suppress the immune system, maintaining strict personal hygiene is necessary to prevent secondary infections. Reduce Salt: Essential to manage edema and blood pressure. Follow specific guidance on protein intake based on the current stage of protein loss in the urine. Fresh Foods: Focus on easily digestible, warm, and fresh meals to maintain Agni (digestive fire).

Hello I understand your concern about using alternatives instead of prednisone, especially in a child. In nephrotic syndrome, prednisone is a standard and essential treatment to control inflammation and protein loss from the kidneys. Coffee and honey cannot replace this action and will not control the disease. Giving coffee to a 12-year-old is not advisable, as it can affect hydration and kidney function. Honey can be taken in small amounts, but it is only supportive and not a treatment. Stopping or replacing prednisone without medical supervision can lead to worsening of the condition. Continue the prescribed treatment and follow up regularly with your doctor. Diet can be kept simple with low salt and adequate protein as advised. This condition needs proper medical management, so do not substitute the medicine with home remedies. Warm Regards Dr Raghuveer SN

Hello, No- a 12 year old with nephrotic syndrome should NOT replace prednisone with coffee and honey That is unsafe and can worse the disease Why? -Nephrotic syndrome is a serious kidney condition with protein loss and swelling -Prednisone a steroid is the main proven treatment that helps stop protein loss and control inflammation -Most children improve within weeks on steroids, without it, complications (infection, kidney damage can occur) **Coffee + Honey -Do Not treat kidney inflammation -coffee may even stress kidneys/cause dehydration -Honey is just supportive (nutrition), not treatment So replacing steroids with these is medically dangerous Ayurveda view Ayurveda can help as adjust or support along with doctors treatment- not instead of it -Condition relates to Mutravaha srotas dushti + kapha imbalance + inflammation -Aim= reduce swelling, improve kidney filtration, balance immunity Internal medications 1) Punarnavadi kahsaya= 10ml with equal water twice daily after meals =reduces swelling 2) Gokshuradi Guggulu= 1 tabs twice daily after meals =supports urinary system 3) Varunadi kashaya= 10ml + equal water before meals twice =helps kidney function 4) Guduchi ghan vati= 1 tab twice daily after meals =anti inflammatory, immunity Diet very important -low salt diet -warm, light, foods= moong dal, red rice/old rice, bottle gourd, ash gourd Avoid -packaged foods -excess protein overload -fried, bakery items Honey -can be used in small amounts -not a treatment, only supportive Coffee -avoid in children with kidney disease Lifestyle -adequate rest -avoid cold exposure, infections triggers relapse -gentle yoga breathing External therapies -Oil massage with Bala ashwagandhadhi taila -helps circulation, reduces edema Ayurveda cannot replace steroids in active nephrotic syndrome Even alternative medicine experts recommend integrative care Stopping prednisone suddenly can cause relapse or complication Do follow Hope this might be helpful Thank you

No coffee and honey is not a replacement for prednisolone. You need to follow your doctor’s advice and do not self medicate. Ayurvedic treatment will be supportive not main treatment. You can give Varunadikwath 10ml-0- 0 after food with slight water. Punarnava kwath tablet 0-1-0 after food with water. Restrict intake of salt in diet. Also water as being advertised that quantity to follow. Low protein diet, High fibre diet .
