Ear Problem
I am a new member of this group and I really appreciate the efforts of all the members of this group. I will like to discuss my father's problem and will really appreciate if all the learned members please submit their valuable suggestions. He is abt 65 yrs of age and has been having a kind of a discharge from his right ear and gets a "plugged in" feeling sometimes. He talked to the allopathic doctors and some of them suggested that it is because of nasal polyp and some suggested due to a hole in the ear-drum. He took "lemna minor" for the nasal polyp and that has cured the nasal problem but the ear problem still remains. Yesterday he had a plugged in feeling in his ear the whole day and felt giddy also. I will be greatful if you please submit ur valuable comments and suggestions.s_dipity on 2005-04-27
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
How long has he had this problem? Does he have any other health problems - diabetes, hypertension?
You can start with Kali Mur 30, thrice a day.

His ear problem started around Oct 2004. He has diabetes, hypertension and asthma. For diabetes and hypertension he takes allopathic medicines. For Asthma he takes homoepathic medicines as needed. I have asked him to start with Kali Mur as suggested.

I hope he isn't taking any steroids for his asthma? Please write what medication he's on, and more about him as a person, his complaints, his habits - please see the details required from other posts. There's no point in treating a ear - you have to treat the person.

Minsa,
My father had started feeling better, so I did not post the history earlier. But since his problem has reoccured I am posting his case history. I will greatly appreciate if you please study his case and recommend a suitable remedy.

Start with 3 doses of Arnica 1M on consecutive days (1 dose a day), then go to the Kali Mur 30, thrice a day. Shall look into details and get back to you. May need some questions answered.
