Hello doc
It has been 1 week now that i have been taking nat phos 6x. Initially i felt that the medicine has started giving positive effects but after 3-4 days the medicine just lost all its effects. For the past 2 days i have had terrible pain in my stomach and had extreme gas. Also i have started having vomitting in the morning of sour water only.
Though the swelling in the body has stopped but all other problems persist.

Doc
I already have nux vom 30c available at my home. Can that be used ?
Do i also have to take nat phos along with nux vom ?

Good morning doc !!
The medication helped me in the gas and bloating problem. Also i did not have pain in my stomach for 2 days.
But i guess i have catched some viral infection. I have sore throat with pain and a runny nose. Also i m feeling weak and feverish. There is intense pain in my eyes and body. What to do ??

Hello doc
Now i have some relief from the fever and viral infection. Though there is no fever but i m feeling too weak.
As regards my stomach issue, the condition is as follows :
1. There has been relief in the constant stomach pain earlier.
2. The bloating problem has also reduced to some extent but my stomach feels very heavy all the time.
3. I also feel that perhaps my stomach is not getting cleared. There is no constipation but still i have a feeling that it is not clear due to which my stomach feels heavy.
4. No improvement in my weight issue.
What to do next ??

Yes i took belladona which helped me in my viral infection. Also i had taken nux vom 30 for 2 nights. Now u have pres ribed me to take nux vom 200 after one week.
Does this mean that i do not have to take any medicine in this week ??
What about the constant heaviness in my stomach ??

Doc
My periods have started today. Should i continue taking nat phos 6x ??

Hi doc
I m back after a week as you prescribed. But my problem for gas and bloating has not improved. I still feel stomach pain and bloating in the evenings. Also i still feel that my stomach is not getting cleared. Please suggest a suitable remedy.
