Post-nasal drip, severe sore throat.
Hi all,I am looking for a remedy for a rapidly developing cold. The cold began with a constant, but light dripping of mucus in the back of my throat. The mucus is now thick, abundant, and clear to yellow-brown. This has caused my throat to become very, very sore and I am beginning to lose my voice (scratchy, dry unless constantly drinking water). My tonsils are large and inflamed and, unbelievably, I can see one of my adenoids, swollen and protruding int he very back of my throat! The congestion has now also moved into my nose (alt. blocked/running).
I have had this cold twice before. Both times it begins after a stressful period. Last time I had just closed on a house, and this month has been very stressful due to my partner's job search, an injured back, and a taxing work schedule (OVER TIRED). I have posted here before for stress and tension and began taking kali phos. which work wonderfully. So I began taking Kali Phos. again when I noticed my jaw was clenched (during sleep and during the day) and I was developing headaches. Within a few days however, my symptoms began. I desperate to get a handle on this cold as last time I developed a bad case of bronchitis afterword and completely lost my voice.
Other info:
Female, 23, 5'3', 130 (recently gained a few pounds due to injured back), whole foods diet, supplements (just started astragalus, vit. c, zinc, ginger - for my throat, and a probiotic). For more information about by personality type, please refer to my first post. I have been told to try nux vom. as a constitutional remedy but stopped after it caused joint pain.
Thanks so much!

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I do not have access locally to such a high potency of nux vom. I will order some online, but until then, what should I do? I do have nux vom. 30c pills. The kali mur and pulsatilla i can get in town tomorrow.
Thanks very much again.

Also, I cannot seem to find nux vomica in liquid form. Is there a website you could recommend? And should I look for 200c/200x?
Thanks!
Also, yesterday I took nux vom. 30c once before bed (before your reply) as per abc homeopathy's remedy search engine. It did help with the sore throat and I had not congestion/post nasal drip until noon the next day.

Thank you! I now see that I can purchase nux vom 200 from this website. But should I get 200x or 200c?

Hi Dr. Anuj,
I know you said to report back in 4 days, but it is day 3 and I thought I would alert you to the changes I have noted since beginning the prescribed remedies.
Since I had to order nux vomica and have it shipped to me, I started taking kali mur and pulsatilla while waiting.
Before I received your response, I took one dose of nux vomica 30c before bed. The next day I noticed significant improvement in the soreness of my throat.
Day 1. (pulsatilla, Kali Mur), Thursday
sore throat - much improved
post nasal drip/congestion - much improved, still hacking, but less often and less mucus. mucus now clear to white/very pale yellow. nose very stuffy/running. feels about to sneeze all the time but never actually sneezes.
cough - began as a small tickle, and worsened at night as I tried to go to sleep making sleeping difficult
energy - very good
other - began spotting (as if about to begin period). very bright red/pink (unusual for me). back ache (did not some related to back injury). sharp pains/aching in knees.
Day 2. (pulsatilla, kali mur), Friday
sore throat - gone
post nasal drip/congestion - light, less hacking. mucus clear to white. very stuffy/runny nose. mucus clear to white.
cough - gone except as tryign to fall asleep but not as bad as before
energy - very low. laid around all day. slept many hours.
other - irritable. as before i tried nux vom/kali phos in the early spring. grumpy. kicked my car after i couldn't get the door unlocked. threw a shoe when i couldn't get it untied (first outburst like this since early spring - very surprising).
Day 3. (puls, kali mur), Saturday
sore throat - gone
post nasal drip/congestion - light drip, very little hacking, mucus clear to white. stuffy/runny nose gone.
cough - gone
energy - very low. slept 12 hours.
other - began a very early period (23 days when I normally have a very regular 26-28 day cycle). very bad cramps!!! blood profuse, deep red, small clots. i could actually see a beating/contracting in my lower abdomen. took ginger but it had no effect. took 800 mil ibuprophine which helped.
tongue - clearing. whitish coating present but receding. front of tongue beginning to pink up.
Please let me know if I should still add nux vom 200 when it arrives (monday i hope?). Thank you very much for your advice. Feeling much better over all and thankful that my cold seems to be passing and did not settle into my lungs as it did the last two times!!

nux be kept for future use.
dont try and take any other type of medicine to suppress the symptoms related to your periods.
have mag phos 6x 5 pills in an ounce of hot water whenever there are cramps/pains.
stop puls for 4 days and give a feed back as the medicine has started its good work
