This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Nitric Acidum 30 may solve your problem. Once a day for a week.

Beware of gavinimurthy, his sole intention is to vandalize the patient't threads.
 
kuldeep last decade
Nitric acid is appropriate for you. Stop after three doses and observe response.

O.K.

First try Merc.sol, three doses,with a gap of 2hrs.each.

Stop and observe response.

if no improvement, even after 12 hours from the last dose, take Sulphur, again three doses, 2 hours apart.

meanwhile procure nitric acid 200c.

this is the best, under present circumstances.

Murthy
 
gavinimurthy last decade
My goodness. I just realised you are out of merc.sol too.

Do you have the bottle at least? Was it a liquid potency? If yes, fill it with water again, andtake a teaspoon as a dose.

even, if it is pellets, try it out. It may work.

Grapefruit seed extract should never be used undiluted anywhere on the body.

Cantharis would be my choice from the above, which in it's proving symptoms causes burning, soreness and blistering of mucous membranes.

Good luck.

Yes.Jacob.

I agree with you. I didn't know about the effects of grape fruit seed extract.

Thanks for this info.

I wish you visit here,more often.

Now, the problems are more or less setteled.

Murthy
 
gavinimurthy last decade
hi gavinmurthy
i'm taking the cantharis, the skin is starting to peel off unerneath my tongue and gums, i think its a good sign is it? was thinkin maybe i got the coating because i burnt it and that would maybe help protect it while it heals, what ya think?

Is the pain subsiding?

Murthy
 
gavinimurthy last decade

O.K.

Make a water dose. Mix three to four pellets/two drops of liquid, into about 250 ml. of water, and mix thoroughly.

Keep taking a table spoon out of it, every 15 minutes.Stir the solution vigorously, with a spoon, 10 to 15 times, before taking each dose.

Stop after 4 doses and post response.

I will look for your post in about an hour.

Murthy
 
gavinimurthy last decade

To Murthy and Jacob

I have just chanced on this thread and would like to express my delight that between the two of you, Elaine was relieved of the pain she was experiencing on her burnt tongue.

It is this spirit of cooperation that is essential in Homeopathy and not the attitude that you, Murthy, adopt in assuming the role of the Homeopathic Constable that you have self appointed youself to be on the ABC to which all of us who have been the resident prescribers for many years object.

You will observe that your selection of Cantharis was not done on the high faluting 'classical' system of homeopathy which both of you like to pretend is the only manner of helping a patient. You will admit that you used the 'Joepathy' system to help Elaine as Jacob remembered the response that he had elicited from a previous case which he had helped with this remedy.

There is nothing to be shy of using a remedy for an ailment and to proclaim that you did so on an experimental basis. Remember that Hahnemann also experimented with about 60 remedies and he can be considered to have been the first exponent of 'Joepathy' which he did long before I was born.

Homeopathy requires that selfless application of one's knowledge and experience to help patients and there has been enough time wasted on proving or disproving which of the two systems is the more effective.

You have both used the 'Joepathy' method as is only too obvious in your successful handling of this case, and I congratulate you both for doing so.

I would like to add that I have used Causticum 200 for a case of severe case of scalding which was resolved within hours without any blister forming. There was immediate relief of that burning sensation within about 5 minutes of using the remedy and you may like to remember it for future use if and when necessary.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
The case above was one of simple acute prescribing, which classical Homoeopaths have been practicing for centuries. It has nothing to do with deviations from this, or convoluted 'sub systems'.

I am glad you have found relief of your symptoms Elaine. Follow Murthy's advice, you are in good hands.


-Jacob.
