Presently you need RHUS TOX.
You can start with 30C potency once in 6 hours and take some 6 doses maximum. If you see any of your symptoms changing for the better or worse, stop the rest of the doses.
If there is absolutely no response after 6 doses in a week, go to 200C potency.
Let me know after a week.
One dose would be 3 drops of remedy in 10 ml of water sipped up slowly in empty stomach and clean mouth. Don't take any food or water or even rinse your mouth one hour before of after taking the doses.
