What is the exact color of pus?
 
nawazkhan last decade
At first, watery yellow, than if i press it some more, bloody watery.

It is not thick at the moment. Also, it doesn't hurt as much as before when i press it.

It is watery yellow at first, but when i press some more, it is watery bloody.

Watery bloody (red) around the nail, and also, the pain is not so strong any more and i can press it on more places without pain.

Then, you will have to continue with Silicea 6X until the pus color changes to white/watery only. That will be the time to take Silicea 200C.

Do you have Calendula, if yes, in what potency?
 
nawazkhan last decade
You know what, the colour of the pus is -without colour- but when i clean it with white toalet paper it looks yelowish.

So it looks just watery to me, but when i clean it, since the toalet paper is really white, this looks yellow. After that, watery bloody.


I don't have Calendula i am afraid.
 
ionos last decade
Still, you need to take more Silicea 6X. Please be patient.

Also, please get Calendula 200C to control infection, Ok.
 
nawazkhan last decade
Is Calendula necessary? I wish you have told me yesterday, i already made an order today and ordered Thuja, Ferrum Met. Nux Vomixa and Sulphur.

Postage prices are almost as big as remedies. I think the infection is getting smaller, the fresh herb leaf that i am applying to the toe has a purpose of sucking out the infection and it seems to be working pretty well.
 
ionos last decade
Great!
 
nawazkhan last decade
No white pus, just blood now, watery blood.

I think that is good, where there is blood-immune system works.
 
ionos last decade
How many drops of blood? Any yellow color pus?
 
nawazkhan last decade
Not many, only when i press below the finger nail. But after i clean it with paper, i can squeeze it again, than clean it again etc.

It is not pure blood, but a watery mixture of blood and water or watery pus.
 
ionos last decade
Let's continue with Silicea 6X for 2 more days.
 
nawazkhan last decade
This morning pus when i press is clear watery. After that first round of watery clear pus, there is little red, but much more watery.

Toe is still a big inflamed, and there is still 1-2 pain spots, but the pain is much less than before.

Nail itself is discoloured, lifeless, and a lot smaller than the right one. I hope it will fall off.
 
ionos last decade
Please confirm that there is no yellow color pus at the moment?
 
nawazkhan last decade
Also, you must stop all non-homoeopathic external applications.
 
nawazkhan last decade
No yellow pus. Clear watery, nothing thick like before.

After the first ''batch'' of clear watery pus is cleaner, than it gets mixed with some blood i think, but more watery. Not true blood, diluted blood or something like that, light and watery.
 
ionos last decade
Stopping external applications is not a problem. It is just a single leaf, so i can remove it easily, than wash my feet.
 
ionos last decade
Great!

Please take Silicea 200C, 4 drops mixed in 1/4 cup of mineral water, one daily dose, for 3 days.

Many prayers for you.
 
nawazkhan last decade
But i bought pellets, not drops?

Can that work? You just said Silicea 200C, i thought you meant pellets :(

I also received the rest of the remedies, Thuja 200c, Ferrum Met. 30 C, Nux Vomica 200C and Sulphur 200C, also all in pellets.
 
ionos last decade
I have been reading about Silicea now and found it matches many of my symptoms.

Imperfect assimilation and consequent defective nutrition.

Ill effects of vaccination. suppurative processes. (i remember when i was a child, after the vaccine near my shoulder, there was so much pus oozing that my teacher almost fainted one time in school, but that was many many years ago)


Silica patient is cold, chilly, hugs the fire, wants plenty warm clothing, hates drafts, hands and feet cold, worse in winter. Lack of vital heat.

Intolerance of alcoholic stimulants. (when i used to drink, many years ago, it almost always finished with me vomiting)

BETTER, warmth, wrapping up head, summer; in wet or humid weather.
 
ionos last decade
I should also mention that pellets are made with saccharose, not lactose.

They don't dissolve as easy as lactose, so maybe its better to put them in 1/4cup boiled filtered water?


4 pellets in 1/4 cup boiled filtered water (boiled in enamel pot)
 
ionos last decade
Please dissolve 4 pellets in 1/4 glass of mineral water, use a spoon. Then, drink the whole thing.
 
nawazkhan last decade
I have taken the first dose as you suggested. The pellets took a while to dissolve (the plastic spoon didn't help much) but all was well in the end.

I sipped it, leaving every sip at least half minute bellow my tongue before swallowing. I used natural spring mineral water with natural PH of 8.1


One question, since i have cold feet, its difficult to be without socks. Can i apply a small piece of gause/cheesecloth to protect the toe so the sock pieces won't go inside the toe etc.?

Silicea 200C will warm you up. Also, it will work on your cold feet!

'Can i apply a small piece of gause/cheesecloth to protect the toe so the sock pieces won't go inside the toe etc.?'
Yes

Dear nawazkhan,

I have to inform you that i took only one dose of Silicea 200c. Reason for this is that my condition got worse. More painful as soon as i removed the leaf and more pus was being created.

I went to see a pedicure today who has experience with this and she removed some nail fragments from the side of my nail saying that they were causing the inflamation. She applied some antibacterial ointment and said to keep it like that for 3 days.

I wanted to ask you, how should i continue homeopathy wise? Should i still continue taking 2nd and 3rd dose of Silicea 200, or should i wait until i remove the patch with antibiotic cream and see how the finger looks like?
 
ionos last decade
'how should i continue homeopathy wise? '
One must use homoeopathy wisely.

'should i wait until i remove the patch with antibiotic cream and see how the finger looks like?'

Please wait.
