The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Miasmatic treatment
I am a 39-year-old male. I am suffering from a problem of deafness and fullness of ears, first the left one, and now the right one. Earlier I suffered from the same problem three or four times since 1996, sometimes with one ear, sometimes with both, and the problem was self-limited and got cured without any specific medication. The only thing I did was chewing some sugar candy and it cleared the problem. But this time problem is quite severe and associated with pain, quite severe pain on one occasion. This pain is a new symptom and was not earlier with the same problem. There is deafness and I cannot hear sound well. Rather my own words are quite loud. There is a ringing sound in my ear and some not-so-offensive fluid oozing at night which I do not think is pus. But at daytime the moist oozing is minimal if at all. The locked sensation is reduced momentarily if I pull at my ear lobe. For immediate relief I consulted an ENT and he prescribed some anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and antibiotic medicines and an ear drop which just helped me to reduce the pain but not the fullness, heaviness, and blocked feeling in the ear.I do have a chronic problem of catching cold and this ear problem also ensued a cold which I suffered before starting of this problem. Chronically, I am susceptible to cold and always suffer from bronchorrhea and coughing and hawking produce considerable amount of sputum which is whitish, not so thick, and salty. There is postnasal drip. Almost no thirst with a bad
habit of frequent spitting because my mouth is always supplied with normal saliva. The chest as if full of phlegm and there is wheezing, blowing, and rattling sound. Scalp is full of dandruff and I have been suffering from this problem over the last 25 years. Hair easily falls with combing. Itching on groin and sometimes crust formation on the scrotum. The groin itching is followed by oozing moisture. In winter my feet and hands are icy cold. I have a problem of perspiration of palms and feet though not so severe. Perspiration also on the neck region while asleep and after waking up see a the neck is wet. I suffered also from a chronic pain in the neck and headache which would usually start in the morning around 9-10 a.m. and will gradually increase as the day would progress and would last until I rest my head on pillow at night. The problem is stopped after continuing for 6-7 years.
Once in 2008 I suffered from a peculiar left knee pain. There was no swelling and redness of the knee and it was not started with any obvious trauma though in my childhood while playing soccer once I hurt my knee badly and it took around a couple of weeks to heal without any treatment. This new knee problem without any obvious trauma was quite painful and analgesic and antiflammatory like ibuprofen showed no relief and it gradually subsided. The pain was so severe that it would wake me up at night while rolling on side in bed. Presently, I am suffering from an elbow pain which one fine morning I discovered after waking up around 8-10 months ago, possibly because of some malpositioning of the hand while sleeping. I took Arnica 1000 and Rhus Tox 1000 around 2-3 months after the pain started but it did not help. Once the pain was so severe that I had to take ibuprofen. Presently, I see that a few drops of Arnica Q in water external application gives good relief when I have the problem.
Once in my life I suffered from stye and twice from conjunctivitis, once from malaria in 2010. No other major disease I have suffered from.
Another problem I have suffering over the last 10-12 years is some itching on the right ankle. Initially it started on a small spot, now increased over a considerable amount of area. Sloughing of the skin, small pimple like eruption, sometimes voluptuous itching followed by little bleeding from the eruption because of vigorous itching, other time oozing of thin honey-like liquid. I never noticed any aggravation or amelioration factor.
I do not eat well. I do a sedentary job and never feeling hungry or thirsty. Suffer from eructation, bloating, flatulence. Bowel movement is regular without any particular character. Sometimes I have suffered from very mild gum inflammation for which doxycicline has helped and I noticed taking sour food sometimes has aggravated this gum problem but not every time.
Mentally I am meek, submissive, and yielding. Shy and feel jittery and nervous if I am supposed to say something or do something in front of a crowd. Dislike crowd and try keep away from people.
Physically I am not so strong and feel weak. I have observed sometimes my hand trembles while pouring a drop of medicine from a vial or doing things like this. My body ache and neck pain and headache usually were worse on those days when I skipped my regular meal and did some traveling by bus or train.
I am presently working as a medical transcriptionist and write fiction.
Please prescribe a medicine with possible potency and frequency if you think the symptoms mentioned above are enough for repertorization or ask me if you need any more information. I am seeking a permanent cure of all these ailments through homeopathically which will cure my miasm.
But right now I want some relief from the ear problem which is killing me.
Thanking you all.

9. List of your complaints:
EAR BLOCKED, DEAFNESS. I have suffered from this problem in the past 4-5 times, first in 1996, but this time it is very severe associated with pain that I had to seek allopathic intervention. The ENT doctor prescribed me an ear drop, analgesic, and antibiotic. Before the ear blockage was never associated with this much pain. The pain was always very mild with the blocked sensation and fullness and heaviness sensation and got well on its own in 10-15 days. This time the allopathic medicine reduced the pain. The problem first was with left ear. The left ear discomfort reduced but the right ear got affected. There is a slight moist oozing but I am unsure whether it is pus and the discharge is a little offensive. I am still feeling the same problem. I am more anxious because my father, one uncle, and a few cousins have the problem of chronic deafness and ear problem though I myself or my three other siblings never had this problem apart from this one I am suffering from now. After having the problem I did a search work on internet and learnt the ear pop exercise pinching the nose and creating an air pressure through the eustachian tube. THIS MORNING (AUGUST 19, 2012) I DISCOVERED THAT THE LEFT EAR IS POPPING PROPERLY BUT IN THE RIGHT EAR THERE IS A SENSATION OF AS IF THE AIR IS PASSING THROUGH THE EXTERNAL EAR CANAL. There is a blowing sound in the right ear while doing this exercise and a feeling of little warm in the external ear canal, even another two persons felt the same keeping their back of palm near my ear right ear. Is it a sign of perforation of eardrum?
I have a perennial problem of cold and cough. I catch cold very easily. A problem of perennial bronchorrhea. Sputum quite copious, frothy, salty, and whitish. Postnasal drip. Sometimes in past, a sensation of stopped nose aggravated by rainy weather or walking on a cold floor. Frequent spitting with no particular character. Possibly a bad habit but my mouth supplies incessant saliva. Thriftlessness.
ITCHING PROBLEM IN THE GROIN REGION SINCE TEENAGE. Voluptuous itching on both sides on the thigh. A moist sensation after itching. It recurs in spite of good personal hygiene maintenance. Sometimes I used itch ointment or medicated soap but it always comes back as it is now for the past few days. Crust formation on the scrotum though now it is less frequent. No particular aggravation or amelioration factor but it seems a little worse at bedtime. ANOTHER SKIN PROBLEM ON THE OUTER SIDE OF THE RIGHT ANKLE. Over the last 12-13 years. First started with a size of 50-paise coin, now spread over the outer side of the ankle. Initially it started on a small spot, now increased over a considerable amount of area. Sloughing and scaling of the skin, small pimple like eruption, sometimes voluptuous itching followed by little bleeding from the eruption because of vigorous itching, other time oozing of thin honey-like liquid after itching. I never noticed any aggravation or amelioration factor. SCALP IS FULL OF DANDRUFF and I have been suffering from this problem over the last 25 years. Hair easily falls with combing though I am not bald and have enough hair for 39-year-old man and is quite dense. Graying of hair has started and there are lots of white strands. I have used all type of things under the sun for the dandruff but it always came back. Sometimes they form thick crusts on the scalp if not shampoo is not used for a longer period and picking them cause slight bleeding or discharge. Now a two-day per week anti-dandruff shampoo just keep it under control. In winter sometimes crust formation on the corner of nose. After awaking the facial skin is oily. In one summer I had crust formation on the forehead after working in summer sun in the corn field for a couple of days in a row.
Once in 2008 I suffered from a peculiar left knee pain. There was no swelling and redness of the knee and it was not started with any obvious trauma though in my childhood while playing soccer once I hurt my left knee badly and it took around a couple of weeks to heal without any treatment. This new knee problem without any obvious trauma was quite painful and analgesic and antiinflammatory like ibuprofen showed no improvement and it gradually subsided. The pain was so severe that it would wake me up at night while rolling on side in bed. Presently, I am suffering from left elbow (intermittent presently, initially was worse) pain which one fine morning I discovered after waking up around 8-10 months ago, possibly because of some malpositioning of the hand while sleeping. It also started with any mechanical trauma and at night I woke up and felt my hand was malpositioned and in the morning felt the dull aching pain. It aggravates when I do my typing work for longer period. I took Arnica 1000 and Rhus Tox 1000 around 2-3 months after the pain started but it did not help. Once the pain was so severe that I had to take ibuprofen. Presently, I see that a few drops of Arnica Q in water external application gives good relief when I have the problem.
I do not eat well. I do a sedentary job and never feeling hungry or thirsty. Suffered from eructation, bloating, flatulence though the problems are less now. Bowel movement is regular without any particular character. Sometimes I have suffered from very mild gum inflammation for which doxycicline has helped and I noticed taking sour food sometimes has aggravated this gum problem but not every time.
Physically I am not so strong and feel weak. Whenever people see me after quite a long period they say, You are looking worse and sick. Shear physical weakness and prostration. Eyes are sunken. Face sunken. Aversion to physical activities though I worked in agriculture till I was 30 years. I have observed sometimes my hand trembles while pouring a drop of medicine from a vial or doing things like this. My body ache and NECK PAIN AND HEADACHE usually were worse on those days when I skipped my regular meal and did some traveling by bus or train. I suffered from chronic neck pain and headache which usually started around 9-10 a.m. and continued until I rested my head on pillow at night. It was a very DULL HEADACHE WITH TENSE AND TEARING PAIN IN THE NECK sometimes associated with vertigo. Now this is not a problem.
10. Since how long are you suffering from each complaint: As mentioned above. The ear problem is over the last 3 weeks.
11. Diabetic or non-Diabetic: Non-diabetic. Even in my extended family no diabetic patient.
12. Desire sweets/sour/salt: In childhood I was somewhat a fan of sweet (whatever is sweet is edible). Still I like it but it never means I can have a lot of them. Another peculiar thing, in childhood I had a bad habit of having raw salt in a pinch and have them little by little. I am unsure whether I like or dislike sour but I have sometimes seen that sour had caused me a mild gum inflammation and pain and doxycycline has always cleared the problem.
13. Thirst: Do not feel thirsty usually.
14. Tongue and Taste: A yellowish (somewhat reddish) coat on the tongue, more thick inside. Sometimes after taking tea with milk, I feel a sour taste in mouth.
15. Current Blood Pressure (without medicine and with medicine): No blood pressure problem though in the past once or twice I had it but self-medicated with Belladonna.
16. What exactly is happening? I have described above, but presently I am extremely concerned about my ear problem. Feeling deaf. Fullness. Blocked sensation. Little pain. Since yesterday I am taking Silicea 30.
17. How do you feel? I am always week. Even a 15-minute walk in the sun makes me worse and may bring back the tearing and tense pain in the neck which later may radiate to head.
18. How does this affect you? Simply for this time being, I just want to get rid of the ear problem. I am more concerned as it a chronic problem for some of my family members.
19. How does it feel like? It makes feel separated from the rest of the world, as if there is no ray of hope. I am finished. I feel alone even while with friends.
20. What comes to your mind? It seems to me if the eardrum is perforated then I have live rest of my life in this way with blocked ear where outer world is shut from me.
21. One situation that had a big effect on you? I do not remember any such but because of my parents always quarrel (as we have seen since our childhood) it has made me the unhappiest man.
22. How did that feel like? I want to get rid of them and want to live alone but financially I am not supposed to do that.
23. What sensation do you experience in that situation?
24. What are you showing by that gesture of your hand (Habits or Actions)?
25. Important Question.
Current and previous remedies/medicines you are taking or took in the past? I seldom take allopathic medications. In the past I repertorized my case with help of Kents repertory and found Lyc, Sulpur, Psorinum, Calc Carb, or Silicea, or Graphites to be my constitution and took them even 1000C potency but I have never experienced they gave me any good result. I am an amateur layman and prescribe for my friends and family just out of my love for homeopathy and sometimes they have experienced good result, but I personally have never such miraculous effect either from homeopathy or allopathy. Possibly they do not work well on my system. Presently, I took some allopathic medicines as I said before for my ear problem and am taking Siliciea 30 from yesterday.
26. Family Background: Father farmer, mother homemaker. Father had a hernia operation. Deaf with ear discharge. Once ultrasound showed a considerable size of gallstone but without any pain or discomfort and it is still there. Mother in good health apart from intermittent blood pressure problem. Maternal grandmother had gallstone removal operation, has blood pressure, otherwise healthy at 80.
27. Educational Qualifications of the patient: Graduate (first of my whole family).
28. Nature of work, what do you do for living? Presently do typing work.
29. Desires, likes and dislikes for food: I eat very little and there is no especial liking or disliking for foods.
30. Name of foods which increase your problem: I have never found such but in the past egg and milk had aggravated flatulence.
31. Important Question.
Mind-behavior, anger, irritability, hurry, impatient and so on.. How are you different from other persons, public speaking or not, you can describe all of the details about your behavior, love and affections:
Mentally I am meek, submissive. Shy and feel jittery and nervous if I am supposed to say something or do something in front of a crowd. Dislike crowd and try keep away from people. Somewhat irritable and peevish. Somewhat imaginative. Impatience, cannot wait for somebody and do not keep them wait. I feel always I am in a hurry while doing something but people say I am quite slow. I like to rest my head on pillow and think about everything under the sun. I have already worked as a columnist and essayist for two locally published Bengali weekly (around 2005-2006) and the feedback always was good. Since last January I started writing short story (and a novel in making) and already one was published in June in the largest circulated Bengali daily and two others are selected and in line to be published in the best literary magazine of Bengali literature (including Bangladesh, Assam, Tripura) where an aspirant writer tries for years to get his writing published. Most of friends are poets, story writers, artists, singers and I like their company. They are somewhat astonished at my ability to writing skill (I just told you all these so that it gives clear mental picture of mine as I know mental symptoms are the most important in selecting a medicine). I am fond of music. Cultured. Somewhat philosopher. Mentally very active. But in spite of all this I am an unhappy man because I was jobless till 33 and the job I am doing now do not give any job satisfaction as well as financial dependence. Apart from that I am unhappy because of my family. I am living in a hell!!!
32. Aggravation (increases-time, season,)& Amelioration (Decreases): I cannot distinguish them well. Though while on the sea-shore in strong air I had found my neck and head and mental symptoms to be aggravated. The present ear problem also seems to be a little worse in open air.
33. Attached here your photographs of the affected area. (if required/optional)
34. Location of the disease: As mentioned above.
35. Side of the problem (Right or Left), (Upper or Lower part of body): Ear both, skin eruption on the right ankle, groin itching on both sides (inner thigh).
36. Color of the secretions/discharges e.g urine, stool, sputum, Saliva etc.: Ear discharge, without any particular color, sometimes brownish (like ear wax color). Sputum with whitish phlegm, thick, chronic.
Eid Mubarak
N.B.: DO YOU THINK THE EARDRUM IS PERFORATED? SHOULD I ASKED FOR ANY IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION FROM A LOCAL ENT SPECIALIST BEFORE STARTING ANY HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE FOR URGENT MANAGEMENT, OR TO KNOW WHETHER A PERFORATION HAS ALREADY STARTED? IS PERFORATION CURED BY HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE?

28. Nature of work, what do you do for living? Presently do typing work.
29. Desires, likes and dislikes for food: I eat very little and there is no especial liking or disliking for foods.
30. Name of foods which increase your problem: I have never found such but in the past egg and milk had aggravated flatulence.
31. Important Question.
Mind-behavior, anger, irritability, hurry, impatient and so on.. How are you different from other persons, public speaking or not, you can describe all of the details about your behavior, love and affections:
Mentally I am meek, submissive. Shy and feel jittery and nervous if I am supposed to say something or do something in front of a crowd. Dislike crowd and try keep away from people. Somewhat irritable and peevish. Somewhat imaginative. Impatience, cannot wait for somebody and do not keep them wait. I feel always I am in a hurry while doing something but people say I am quite slow. I like to rest my head on pillow and think about everything under the sun. I have already worked as a columnist and essayist for two locally published Bengali weekly (around 2005-2006) and the feedback always was good. Since last January I started writing short story (and a novel in making) and already one was published in June in the largest circulated Bengali daily and two others are selected and in line to be published in the best literary magazine of Bengali literature (including Bangladesh, Assam, Tripura) where an aspirant writer tries for years to get his writing published. Most of friends are poets, story writers, artists, singers and I like their company. They are somewhat astonished at my ability to writing skill (I just told you all these so that it gives clear mental picture of mine as I know mental symptoms are the most important in selecting a medicine). I am fond of music. Cultured. Somewhat philosopher. Mentally very active. But in spite of all this I am an unhappy man because I was jobless till 33 and the job I am doing now do not give any job satisfaction as well as financial dependence. Apart from that I am unhappy because of my family. I am living in a hell!!!
32. Aggravation (increases-time, season,)& Amelioration (Decreases): I cannot distinguish them well. Though while on the sea-shore in strong air I had found my neck and head and mental symptoms to be aggravated. The present ear problem also seems to be a little worse in open air.
33. Attached here your photographs of the affected area. (if required/optional)
34. Location of the disease: As mentioned above.
35. Side of the problem (Right or Left), (Upper or Lower part of body): Ear both, skin eruption on the right ankle, groin itching on both sides (inner thigh).
36. Color of the secretions/discharges e.g urine, stool, sputum, Saliva etc.: Ear discharge, without any particular color, sometimes brownish (like ear wax color). Sputum with whitish phlegm, thick, chronic.
Eid Mubarak
N.B.: DO YOU THINK THE EARDRUM IS PERFORATED? SHOULD I ASKED FOR ANY IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION FROM A LOCAL ENT SPECIALIST BEFORE STARTING ANY HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE FOR URGENT MANAGEMENT, OR TO KNOW WHETHER A PERFORATION HAS ALREADY STARTED? IS PERFORATION CURED BY HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE?

One more thing to point out: I always got this ear problem after I had a cold. This time also the problem followed a cold which I took around 10-15 days before starting this ear problem. Last night and in morning also there was a ringing and pulsating hissing sound but now there is now such sound (IST 4:41 p.m. now).

What do you think of a dose of Tuberculinum too?
Your kind help as usual is greatly appreciated.

Happy Eid Mubarak to both, Dr. Khan and AsadGhumman and thanks for responding. I was so anxious and troubled that I consulted an ENT this evening and he told me that there is a perforation in the right ear. He has prescribed medicines for a couple of days. But I really do not believe that can solve my problem permanently. I need a constitutional treatment. As soon as the acute condition is over, I will start the homeopathic medicine according your advice. I hope this will be pardoned.
With regards.

Dear Dr. Khan,
The allopathic treatment has reduced the acuteness of the ear problem though not satisfactory. Anyway, I want to discontinue the allopathic medicine today and want to start your prescription from tomorrow. Should I take a dose of camphor before starting China 30.
A few more points to mention:
One of my brothers suffered from from jaundice and malaria. I also suffered from malaria in 2010. My overall condition worsened whenever I went to the seashore when I was in Mumbai. After self-abuse, I feel bad the following day and sometimes it brings back my pain in neck and head.
With regards.

Dear Dr. Khan,
I have already taken three doses of China 30 religiously as prescribed by you and taking this medicine with distilled water. The last one dose is remaining which I am going to take a little later.
I started it yesterday and last night there was nocturnal emission. I do not know whether it was a normal phenomenon or because of the medicine. Whenever I am on my bed my EAR PROBLEMS are less intense. A walk or even standing on feet or riding on cycle makes it worse. This noon I went to a place three miles far from my home riding on a bicycle and I found the symptoms gotten bad. When I came back I felt hungry and there was an all-gone feeling in the upper abdomen. This evening also I had an appetite which I have missed for months or years. Overall weakness is persistent. No noticeable improvement in ear problems. SOMETIMES CRACKLING SOUNDS IN THE EARS, RIGHT WORSE THAN THE LEFT. THE BLOCKED OR PLUGGED FEELING IN THE RIGHT EAR IS LESS THOUGH RINGING ALWAYS THERE. THE LEFT EAR FEELS COMPARATIVELY MORE BLOCKED. SOMETIMES I FELT THE RIGHT EAR SUDDENLY OPENS UP OR SHUT DOWN AND THE HEARING IS TOTALLY CHANGED AT A SNAP. RIGHT EAR HEARING IS HARDER THAN THE LEFT EAR though right ear blocked feeling is less. No discharge from ears. Even little walking or cycling in open air is worsening the overall ear symptoms. Continuous ringing in the right ear for which the ENT mentioned a perforation of eardrum. I am really worried about my ear problems. This deafness is killing me. This has made me separated from the world. Is turning attention to this first a more acceptable approach. Just a question you know best what to do. I have full faith in you.

Dr. Khan, Thank you very much. I will do as you say. I have already started this morning for another three days in the same way, China 30 four drops in 1/4 cup of water twice daily.

Dear Dr. Khan,
Overall, the condition is slightly improved. I hope the medicine is working. Over the last couple of days, I have observed a few things about the ear problems. For EAR PROBLEMS, lying is good position; sitting up, not so good; standing bad; walking worse; cycling worst, particularly where the village road is broken and uneven. Belching and eructation. Hard eructation giving thrust into the ears from within which is a little painful, left is worse than right.
Tomorrow (27th August) is the last day of the three-day course of China 30 amounting to a total of five days. Taking it regularly. If there is any change in potency or medicine, please let me know in advance so that I can have it in time and do not disrupt the continuation of treatment.
With regards.

This morning when woke up, the left ear problem was somewhat worse.
The left ear is now feeling more full and blocked that it was last night. Ringing in the left ear. The aching has come back slightly.
