You may take 3 drops of silicea 12x instead of 3 pellets of silicea 6x. If your boil is fading on it's own there is no need to take silicea.

Hi Dr.Kadwa
i hope you will be fine and healthy.
i was very ill in these last 2 weeks due to flu,fever and sore throat and nasal congestion and cough so thats why i was unable to reply.
So i did not use AMMONIA CARB30.
But now i have recovered from fever and sore throat and i have taken antibiotic and cough syrup as prescribed by alopathic doctor for fever and sore throat.
But my nasal congestion is becoming severe and ENT doctor advise surgery for nasal open.
PLZ prescribe for this NASAL problem particularly because i feel severe difficulty in BREATHING especially at bed time and for the time being i am using NASAL spray for temporary relief.
SIR is it possible to complete cure of my nasal congestion by Homeopathy?????? because i am very worried from operation.
i am Feeling improvement in Constipation 60-70% and in GASTRIC PROBLEM 50% HEADACHE is 70-80% improved.
But no improvement in white mucus coming from back of mouth and throat which has increased during these 2 weeks.
THANKS
