cold/flu won't budge! please help!
Hi all, my dad is a homeopath so we have all remedies in my home but he's currently on holiday...My symptoms: stiff neck, headache around temples, forehead , feeling warm, clammy hands, nose is running like a tap, CONSTANTLY blowing! Other than horrible phlegm/taste in morning throat is ok. SNEEZING lots. Body is tired and very fatigued. Shown no signs of improvement in past 3 days (it had lingered mildly for a week previous to that then got worse)
If you can recommend any other treatments as well as remedy that would be great. I'm doing all the right things but it won't budge!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
You can take SABADILLA 30C every 4 hours for a day.
If there's no response in the next two days, give your modalities here so that a more suitable remedy could be found out.

That isn't a lot of information for a homoeopathic case. He must have taken your case before, so you should understand what kind of symptoms we require to make confident prescriptions.
HOW TO DESCRIBE YOUR COMPLAINTS
In homoeopathy, prescription is based on precise details of various symptoms from which you suffer. To tell or write to a homoeopathic physician 'I have a headache ', ' an eruption ' or a cough would not be enough. If you inform him 'I have headache with sharp shooting pains in the left side of the head and temple, these pains always come on when the slightest cold air strikes the head. I feel better by pressing the head very hard. Then only you have given all the information required for making a good homoeopathic prescription. The success of the prescription depends; largely on how detailed your description of the symptoms is.
We require the following details about your symptoms.
LOCATION: Please give the exact location of sensation, pain or eruption. Also describe where the pain or sensation spreads.
SENSATION: Express the type of sensation or the pain that you get in your own words however simple or funny it may seem. You may have a sensation that a mouse is crawling or the heart was grasped by an iron hand or you may have a pain that is cutting, burning jerking, pressing. Express the sensation or pain as it feels to you. Try to explain the whole sensation in the exact way it is happening and not just the word. We need to understand the whole process of the sensation as it is happening to you.
WHAT MAKES YOU WORSE OR BETTER: Many factors are likely to influence your complaint. Some factors may intensify it and some factors may relieve the trouble. A detailed list of the factors is given at the end. Please refer it while describing each of your troubles and indicate which factors make the complaint better or worse.
DISCHARGES: You may have a discharge from nose, ears, mouth, eyes, ulcers, fistula, eruptions on skin, private parts, etc. Please describe your discharge under the following aspects.
The quantity and the time or condition under which the quantity varies i.e. when is it better or worse, when does it increase or decrease?
The consistency: Is it thin or thick, stringy or clotted?
Is it like jelly, white of an egg, like water, sticky forming a scab etc.?
The odour, what does it remind you of?
Does it make the parts sore, and in what way?
