Itchy throat and plugged ear Page 5 of 6
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I took a dose last night around 3 am, i woke up sneezing, and wide awake just couldn't fall back asleep... so i took a dose and soon went to sleep just to have a few nightmares (i used to get nightmares when i was a teen... they were so often that they don't phase me, and i wake up from them not rattled or anything). At around 8 i woke up very refreshed and energized. Little sneezing in the morning.
I use 1 cup of water for the dose.

I had loose motions today- just once. It's an old symptom, it was cloudy. I used to get this in my early twenties-very very frequently. Even went to the doc for it, they did tests, but everything came out negative.
Throat seems to be itchy since yesterday

ok i'm back.. I just want to thank you so much for all your help. I improved greatly. Back aches went away.. and sleep has been good. Until a month ago when sleep was broken up again, back pain has returned a bit. Periods have normalized (coming in the day more).
The acute i'm having now is a double pink eye infection. Red, itchy (very itchy), slight swollen (my lids are usually a little puffy usually).. and there is mucusy discharge. On day one it sealed it shut in the morning. Today it wasn't sealed but there was alot of it on both eyes.
Right was first more infected than left, today left is more infected than right.
Chest has a burning sensation as tho filled with mucus. I can't take it out (either through nose or coughing). Little comes out in the morning, and its extremely yellow and smelly.
Hoarse in the mornings.
I feel terrible around 5 6 am.. until i go back to sleep and then wake up later around 10 am feeling a tad better.
Eyes are tearing the whole day. My homeopath suggested rhus tox 200 for the eyes, but i don't feel much improvement. I took two doses.
I did this online Remedy Finder and it said sulphur but wasn't sure if sulphur was okay to take after rhus tox so i've taken just a dose of sulphur iodatum 30c.
Please advise!!

I forgot to mention a pattern.... i'm able to ward off illness through the month.. except the week prior to my period... it's like the late period (my cycle is between 33 to 40 days.. always been) makes me sick (physically).. emotionally i'm stable. But the sickness (flu like symptoms, evening chills, tight chest, cough) are consistent every month (again before my period)... gets me down through my period (sleepy tired.. sick).. and then after my period is over i'm well again.

Hi Karina,
I am so sorry I missed your reposting, so many new posts just pile on top here now.
First thing I would suggest you do, unless you have already tried this, is to repeat the Cocculus. It is not unusual to have a relapse after awhile.
It might be necessary to go up in potency as well, although we can see how much we can squeeze out of the 200c.

ok previously, i had made the liquid cocculus from the pellets i had.. can i just use the same bottle? How many drops in how much water? and how many hits?
The sneezing reduced dramatically... it wasn't sudden but i would say overtime... i don't have much of it during the night... but it's still there some mornings. My eyes have been really itchy lately... (as i had this problem when i was a kid, more so during pollen season). I think thats why now it became infected.
As for my period, very regular, and without much cramping. My mood has been really stable which i love. As for my energy, i noticed a rise in energy soon after taking the cocc, but it didn't last past a few weeks. I'm a bit lethargic again.
The tightness in the chest seems to occur the last three months (all a week prior to my period) and lasts the whole week, just to culminate with the most horrendous cough, that hurts the throat. ANd doesn't raise the mucus. It's a hard cough, not dry, not wet, but hard to control.. once i start, i can go for hours. Thinking about it makes me cough. And falling asleep is terrible, cuz the cough bothers so much, but once i'm asleep, it doesn't trouble.
A new symptom, i've been itchy. Particularly behind my right ear. THis started a week ago.
Let me know about the way to take the medicine. I'll take it asap.
Oh, i had done my physical after i started your treatment. For literally the first time in my life, i was told that i was NOT anemic.... and i haven't been doing anything different, nor taking any supplements.
Thanks soooo MUCH!!!!

This is nice to see how the simillimum can have such a long lasting effect, without even needing to repeat it. However, the menstrual symptoms have not changed enough - either the issue is dosage or potency (I suspect the latter).
When you made the bottle up, was it a mix of alcohol and water? If not, you will need to place another pillule in the water.

I have just been looking back over your case to see what steps we took with the 200c - I can see that we didnt quite finish the cure. We should probably do that this time.
As far as I can tell, I only had you succuss the bottle twice, so do that again.

i have a sick daughter at the moment... and husband is out of town... i don't want any aggravations so haven't taken the med as yet... do you think i should suffer any aggravations? My tonsils are all swollen, red, and painful today....
karinamom last decade
There is always a possibility of aggravation. The more you dilute the medicine the less aggravation you get - dilute it into 2 cups as I have suggested for your daughter.
You should not need to be concerned with aggravation - if you are we simply haven;'t found the right dosage for you yet, so that should be a priority.

I took the dose last night. I slept really well, and have felt more energized. THe chills i normally feel in the evening into night turned into feeling really really hot.
I feel well. Cough has reduced. But my right side tonsil is still swollen and painful. SHould i wait or take another dose? I took it in 2 cups of water- 2 hits.

Sounds like that level of dilution is really good for you.
I would wait till the morning - if you wake up in the night with any difficulty around the throat or cough, take a repeat dose. Otherwise see how things have gone by the morning.

i did... no it really hurts still. It's right sided, and the pain only comes when i swallow. Kind of like a needle, but feels swollen too.
karinamom last decade
If I am quiet, not talking, asleep, it does not hurt. The moment I swallow it hurts, even empty swallowing. It doesn't hurt while talking, but talking does aggravate it because it will be more painful after talking a whole lot. The pain extends a bit to the right ear. But its a pain that comes only at the moment of swallowing, or yawning, and then goes away immediately after.
karinamom last decade
Although I am always wary about changing a remedy that has helped, it does appear you are stuck at the level of the tonsil. So we can use a specific here - Merc-i-f could be appropriate (Mercurius iodatus flavus) in 30c. I do not know if you would have that one at home, but it is a remedy used for right-sided tonsillitis that is painful on empty swallowing, so you may be able to get hold of it locally.
If there is going to be a delay in getting it, repeat the Cocculus exactly as you did last time but with 1 extra hit.

Hi David,
Just an idea..I hope you won't mind.
Please also consider Hepar. She is having a needle (splinter) sensation, along with worsening from empty swallowing, talking and yawning, and pain which extends to the ear, all of which are strong Hep symptoms.

Actually Sameer you are right, that is definitely a good idea.
Karina do you have Hepar sulph there?

I do but didn't see your post. I tried arg. nit. 30c, with your method. Took quite a few doses and have gone up to 10 hits, the pain reduced dramatically after day one, and by day two it was completely gone.
There is no pain anymore, but when i look at the throat the tonsil still looks red and still a little swollen to me.
Should i jump to the 200c? I don't have the 200c... and was wondering if there could be any aggravations if i did that.`in you opinion, is the arg nit only palliative ?

Yep Arg-nit has the splinter sensation too so good call! I would do nothing more for the moment - the redness should reduce as time goes on.
If the Arg-nit is only palliative you will soon know - the symptoms will return exactly as before.
If it was suppressive, then other more important aspects of your health will aggravate.
If it was curative, then you will simply improve from this point, and this should include general things like energy, mood, sleep.

Okay really haven't taken any more doses of the arg n. Mood has been good. Energy good. Sleep has been fantastic. Really dEep to wake up refreshed. Yesterday I had a temporary aggravation- hemmorhoid..I used to have that problem but it has gone today. Today, I am sneezing again, but in the morning..how I used to before my first pregnancy. What should I do at this point? Wait it out? The throat pain is completely gone. Little cough and mucus coming out in the morn.
