Yes !!! Give one drop of 'Hedera Helix-Q', on his tongue, once.
Also read this :- 'The only published case (H. W., xxxiv. 489) is, that of a girl of twenty, whom he cured of chronic hydrocephalus with a single dose, once repeated after eighteen months on a threatened return of the symptoms. The circumference of the patient's head, when she was brought to Cooper, was 27 1/2 inches, rendering her an object of wonder and ridicule to street arabs, and reacting on her disposition and nervous state. The condition had existed from childhood and was apparently growing much worse. There were two large dematous swellings on the nape of the neck, one on either side and immediately below the occiput, evidently the result of intra-hydrocephalic pressure. One drop of Hed. h. Ø was placed on her tongue. Next morning clear fluid began dripping from the nostrils, a 'cerebro-spinal rhinorrha' in fact. This continued three weeks, between twenty and thirty pocket-handkerchiefs being used in a day. Simultaneously the swellings began to diminish and had completely disappeared when the discharge ceased. Thirteen months later, when being measured for a hat, it was found that the size of the head was reduced to 25 inches, and no longer occasioned remark. When, later on, some symptoms of brain-pressure seemed to threaten a second dose of Hed. h. completely dispelled them. The disposition of the patient was completely changed; from being nervous, unhappy, and diffident, she became lively, cheerful, and active. In cases of rhinorrha cerebro-spinalis Hed. h. must be thought of. Hed. h. has been used as a sternutatory for 'clearing the sight' from time out of mind, and Cooper tells me it has cured cases of cataract'.

NHP is different from general Hydrocellaphus in away that it happens only to older persons (Above an age of 65Yrs) and that is why is also known as old person's Hydrocellaphus.
Please suggest any remedy.

Yes I did, but didn't appear to help him. I also repeated the dose, after a few days but it also didn't. I administered Hedera Helix-Q from SBL, India.
