Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 40-year-old male. I have been suffering from tonsillitis and fever for the last five days. I took antibiotics to treat my painful tonsillitis and fever and the antibiotic showed a very bad reaction. I developed skin rashes on my chest and around my nose.

Whenever I have anything that has a cold base like coconut water (or coconut), curd, cardamom or any other fruits I develop tonsillitis. Last week, I ate cardamom by mistake, and all that broke loose for me the next day morning. And since then I am really suffering a lot. Could you please help me with my current situation of tonsillitis and fever? After the onset of tonsillitis, I started to cough also.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Yes sure, you will be ok definitely.

Take these medications,

Sulfur 1m five pills one dose only. Belladonna 30 five pills in the morning, noon, evening, and night. Biocombination number 10 four tablets in the morning, noon, evening and night (in more pain you can repeat tablets at intervals of one to two hours also). Give follow up after one week along with medicines.

Gargle with water add salt and turmeric powder five to six times a day. Drink warm water add turmeric powder if you like that taste. One spoon warm mixture of ginger juice, turmeric powder, honey three to four times a day. Warm milk with turmeric powder and ginger powder. Have a good day.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

First of all, I thank you for the help provided for my tonsil problems. Today, I am writing to seek your advice on my mother’s health. She is 59 years of age. She suffers from thyroid and high blood pressure and for these two ailments, she takes the allopathic medicines. She easily gets stressed in several situations in life. Nowadays, she is getting a little feverish and catching a cold. She feels weak as well. Actually, weakness is kind of her constant problem. We give her allopathic vitamins but then she complains of flatulence and belching so we stop. Earlier we thought that the weakness could be due to the thyroid but now when the thyroid is under control she still complains of weakness.

I would be really grateful if you could help her with her weakness.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Sure, I will suggest medicines soon. I will ask for details if I need them for weakness and cold.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Here are the details of my mom’s situation: Yes cold and feverish problem is daily. Though the thermometer shows a reading under 96 °F. She sneezes at least 10 to 15 times in one go. And yes she suffers from body aches with weakness. As I had written to you earlier also, she suffers from thyroid and high blood pressure problems for which she takes allopathic medicines to keep them under control.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It might be due to heat present inside her body.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you doctor. I would let you know about the situation of my mother after one week.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Sure.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Actually, my mother complained of heartburn and flatulence after having the first 5 pills of Arsenic Alb 3. That is why she could not continue the medicine. The thing is that my mom has been suffering from a flatulence problem for a long. She even cannot eat bananas and curd at times of loose motions. She has this regular complaints of acidity. Anyways thanks for your help. I would try to persuade her to have the medicines once her acidity and stomach bloating problem comes under control. Though we are giving her the allopathic capsules for flatulence. I guess it would take some more days to come under control.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Homeopathy cannot harm our bodies. But if you have doubt then no remedy for doubt. For acidity and flatulence, you can give her the below tablets-

Asafoetida tablets three or six, thrice in the morning, noon or evening, and at night.

Lycopodium 30 tablets five pills in the morning and evening.

Carbo veg 30, five pills in noon and night.

Once her digestion will improve she will be fine soon. Start above mentioned medicines. Allopathic medicines will not give relief in the long term. Alfalfa mother tincture will help with digestion improvement with recovery from weakness and all. Continue with these medicines.

Stop Arsenic alb.

Give a follow-up after 15 days, and if any changes then in between you can give a follow-up.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I do agree that I missed mentioning her acidity and flatulence problem when you asked about other complaints and by the time I realized my mistake it was late. I then thought that next time I would mention it. So, your anger is right. The thing is that in the recent past, my mom had to be taken to hospital in the middle of the night due to this acidity problem, and on one occasion she started vomiting profusely also which is why she now fears experimenting with medicines. Actually ma'am, I had consulted one homeopathic doctor in my city and he had given a whole host of medicines but the acidity problem my mother didn't improve, and last year she had to be admitted in the night after the vomiting bouts, and that is why she gets afraid even at very tiny acidity episode.

One more thing is that my mother suffers from depression and in such cases fear psychosis kind of things are also there. Once the fear gets instilled it takes time to get out of fear. Through counseling, we try to get her out of her frame of mind. Actually...she has suffered too much in life due to many uncontrollable factors of life and these problems of acidity and depression are just manifestations of the battles lost in life. I once again assure you ma'am that there is no ill will against homeopathy in her mind, she even fears allopathic medicines that cause adverse effects to her body.

Thanks a lot, for recommending medicines for my mother's acidity ailment.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Give her only one dose of Natrum Mur 1m five pills ( after 15 days of sulfur dose). In homeopathic for chronic complaints, we need head-to-toe details with nature, food cravings, aversion, sleep, urine, bowel, fear for what, anxiety specific for what, thoughts, acidity flatulence by which food, acidity flatulence when increasing decrease and events of life, etc All are important equally with symptoms. She will be fine definitely for acidity and flatulence. Just start medicines.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Yes, I do understand that you needed a complete detail of the patient. I provided you only superficial details but I thought that it would be enough. Next time I would keep this in mind.

Thanks for your precious advice.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Every time we do not need details, for the first time only needy. Start those medicines, and next follow up with all details so I can know her as a person.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Her gastric problem has improved with the last time's medicines that you prescribed. So, she is doing fine now. Thanks a lot for your advice. I want to take your advice on one of my problems. Actually, I have a problem with receding gums. My lower front side two teeth are exposed and have sensations. Gums do not bleed and there is no foul smell either. But dentists say that my teeth can come off the gums after 3-4 years. If I could get your medical advice on this problem. I would be really grateful.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

For your mom, continue with Asafoetida and Lycopodium, alfalfa mother tincture medicines. Stop carbo veg. and give Lycopodium three times. Give it up to 21 days and give a follow-up. For you, I will suggest medicines later on, if I need details I will ask.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had started Kali Phos 6 times. My first impression was not good as I started having mind pain in the right side of my stomach. I kept on having the medicine but the pain did not go. Then I started having a feeling of heaviness around my eyes and around my nose with a little tingling sensation. At one point the heaviness with tingling gets heavier and I feel like choking. Is it any side effects of the medicine? I have stopped taking the medicine.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

No, it is not because of medicines. Still, if you have doubts then stop that medicine, I will suggest you another medicine for receiving gums. Currently, what are your symptoms?

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

As I told you I am having tingling sensations and heaviness around my eyes and my nose and after a few minutes this heaviness increases to a level that I feel like choking. When I massage my head and areas around my eyes and nose then this tingling sensation and heaviness subsides for a while but then again it gains intensity. These symptoms are persisting for the last two or three days. I got a bit scared so thought to talk to you about it.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Do you have any puffiness around your eyes? Do you have any difficulty in the movements of your eyelids? Do you have high blood pressure, cold, nasal congestion, difficulty swallowing, or choking the whole day? Do you feel good in the fresh air? Do you take any other allopathic medicines? Do have redness in your eyes?

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have puffiness around my eyes and difficulty in the movements of my eyelids. I do not have high blood pressure. I take allopathic medicines for blood pressure and it is under control. I do not have nasal congestion, difficulty swallowing, or choking the whole day. Not the whole day but only when the tingling sensation and heaviness increase I feel that I am feeling it difficult to breathe from my nose. And this situation remains for a second or two. Yes, I feel good in the fresh air. I do not take any other allopathic medicines. I do not have redness in my eyes.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thank you the for details. I will suggest you medicines soon.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the advice.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Whenever you start the medicines give a follow-up the next day. I mean in completion of 24 hours intake of medicines. Have warm water and a warm water massage.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

After the Kali Phos episode, I got really scared, so did not try the medicine suggested by you. I let the effects of Kali Phos wear off and now I am completely fine. I have suffered from side effects (reactions) of allopathic medicines many times, which is why I was scared to take Belladonna 30, and hence I did not take the medicine I was feeling a bit hesitant to talk to you. As far as my mother's flatulence problem is concerned, it was under control but for the last two days, she is complaining of gas. As for the last two days, her medicines have finished and I forgot to bring them. So, it is entirely my mistake. One more thing she feels relief when she takes both Lycopodium and Carboveg, though you have stopped Carboveg she says that she feels good after having both medicines. I could not get the Asafoetida tablets here but they gave me the mother tincture of Asafoetida but this medicine does not work very well with my mother. She complains of a burning sensation in her stomach after having Asafoetids drops. Moreover, she is having Alfalfa mother tincture along with the Lycopodium and Carboveg.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It is fine for Belladonna. But do not worry homeopathy cannot harm you. Stop Asafoetida mother tincture and continue with the following-

Carboveg 30 in morning and night.

Natrum Mur 1m one dose only (no repetition).

Alfalfa mother tincture.

I have changed the doses, so let me know after 15 days. Her mental changes also I need to know.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for your advice. I would let you know after 15 days.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Have good days ahead.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My mother's flatulence problem is completely under control. Thank you for your help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Continue alfalfa mother tincture for one month.

Carbo veg 30 once a day (repeat doses in extreme discomfort ) and continue for one month.

Natrum Mur 1m one dose today and one dose after 15 days.

Update me about her anxiety, calmness, and depression.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am attaching two pages of the blood report of my mother (the attachment was removed to protect the patient's identity). I would like to have your advice on the report. If any homeopathic intervention can be made to improve liver functioning (though I do not think that there is anything alarming yet I am not a doctor). So, I would like your advice on both of the reports.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I will check and revert as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am not being able to attach the blood report files. Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Do you have any current symptoms? What did your doctor say about these reports? What medicines has he prescribed?

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have not visited any doctor yet. Actually, my mother is on thyroid medicine so along with the thyroid test I have done all other tests also. I am writing below her T3, T4, and TSH findings.

T3: 123 Reference Range: 60-200

T4: 11.1 Reference Range:4.5-12

TSH: 0.85 Reference Range:0.3-5.5

Her Vitamin D is 22.31. Reference (insufficiency 20-30). Now she complains of weakness, backache, and dizziness also.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I will read everything and revert you.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
