Remedies on Repertorisation
Calc 25/12, Puls 22/11, Sil 21/9, Lach 18/9,
Lyc 16/8, Kali-bi 4/4
Acute: Both remedies Puls and Kali-bi come
strongly for sinusitis. Puls nose block > open air. But on specific
questioning, she said, she felt worse in AC draft so Kali-bi was
clinched.
Constitutional: She is very jealous and dominating. A very clear case of Lach. Calc which came in for differentiation for the profuse perspiration was ruled out on all other counts.
Final Plan Of Treatment
Acute: Kali-Bi
Sinusitis. Coryza thick, greenish discharge. Nose block. <

Restless. Jealous. Grumbles. Hot. were even the ferquent
change of schools triggered by Lach being a Lachesis personality?

Clinically, the patient is better since a month now. She has
not used nasal spray since our treatment started. As we were going in for the
ENT issue, we were in a hurry to repeat the investigations.
05/06/04
Post-treatment Investigations: X-Ray Sinuses came out Normal - Rt paranasal sinus has cleared up. The adenoids did not show much change in these 8 wks; probably it is too early to expect radiological change. We will repeat X-Ray after 4 months and we will inform in NJH future issue.
