Two remedies that may be helpful to her are ARS ALB and KALI CARB.
Since she has taken GRAPHITES recently, it won't be right to give her any other remedy now. Also, ARS ALB is an antidote to GRAPHITES and if given now, can undo the benefit of GRAPHITES.
I would recommend to wait and watch for a week or two and see if Graphites is working on her.
Then, if she needs further treatment for her blocked nose, start with kali cARB 30C once every 4 to 6 hours for a day only. After about 4 doses, stop to see her response.

thanks, will wait for a week and give kali carb and report.
starzan 9 years ago
given 4 doses of kali carb 30 yesterday. this morning she had severe headache and running nose. most likely due to medicines since no fever etc. pls advice what next to be done. thanks
starzan 9 years ago
It seems there is a response, may be a little over-response. No need to worry. Don't give anything for the next 10 days.
This will pass and she will gradually get better. Lets hope, within the next two days, this aggravation will be over and curing will start.
You have to make sure that during this time, she doesn't take any other medicines or remedies.

the headache was better in the morning itself. the running and blocked nose seems as before and there is no change.
starzan 9 years ago
It has been a week now and there has been no perceptible change in her nose block. pls advice if anything needs to be given now. I do not know if the headache last week was due to the medicine or a random occurance since it was too brief.
starzan 9 years ago
Would you like to try ARS ALB now?
This was one of the remedies at the top but I didn't give it as it is an antidote to Graphites.
It can be tried now.
