Chronic mucous in throat

My mom is 89 years old with dementia. She has constant mucous in her throat and every day she coughs to clear it throughout the day. Sometimes her nose is also congested. I have tried so MANY non-prescription remedies, but nothing helps. Currently I'm giving her Silicea 30x (4 tablets 3 times a day) for toe nail fungus and also for her mucous and anxiety/compulsive thoughts.

She has a history of anxiety, fear, high blood pressure (currently not a problem), hemorrhoids, restlessness, impatience, over-sensitive, wanting to control everything. I'm having some success with vitamin therapy for her anxiety/psychosis, but the mucous in her throat (sometimes nose) is constant and very frustrating--toe nail fungus also frustrating.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You seem to have some knowledge about homeopathic remedies.

Read the following and tell us which medicine covers the symptoms.

*********

Homeopathic Fungus Treatment
Antimony Crudum – Homeopathic Remedy for Fungus causing Distorted Nails and Toenails
I would say that for nail fungus homeopathic treatment promises a safe and successful solution with zero side-effects.Homoeopathic medicine Antim crud is one of the top remedies in cases of infections of the nails associated with thick horny callosities of the skin.It seems to work well in patients who have horny warts on the hands and soles. Antim crud assures relief to patients who have a dry skin which itches. The nails are very brittle and break very easily. The original shape of the nails is distorted and the nails grow out of shape. The patient seems to get unusually irritated at the slightest things. The nails are split and grow at a very slow pace. Toenail is the most common nail to get affected by fungus , homeopathic medicine antimony crudum works wonders in treating toenail fungus.
SIlicea – Homeopathic Remedy for Nail fungus with Pus , Infection and sharp Pains in Toenail

Silicea is an excellent homoeopathic remedy for fungus . I feel it is best recommended to patients who have very cold feet and palms. Their nails are infected and disfigured. The patient oozes bad smelling sweat from the feet, hands and armpits. It is also seen to be associated with a sharp pain in the finger and toe nails. The pain is unbearable and the patient seems to be very restless and irritable. Silicea can be given to patients in whom the nails grow inwards and are surrounded with flesh and pus.
GRAPHITES – Homeopathy for Nail Fungus when Nails Crack

I have found that homeopathic medicine Graphites is suitable for cases of nail disorders characterized by inward growth of the nails, especially of the toe nails. The nails tend to ulcerate and the surrounding tissue is swollen.Homeopathic Medicine Graphites can be given in cases where the pain is deep seated and the patient cannot bear to be touched. The affected parts are very sore and painful. Graphites may be given in cases where there is thickening of the nails. In some cases, there may be a deformity of nails which break easily. Homeopathic remedy Graphites may be given for nail infection in people with cracked finger tips.
BUFO RANA: Homeopathic medicine for Nail Infection and Fungus that turns the Nail Blue
Homeopathic Medicine Bufo Rana is a very effective homeopathic remedy for treating fungal infections of the nails and toenail which appear bluish or blackish in color. This Homeopathic medicine may be given to patients in whom the skin surrounding the nails is swollen and there is occasional formation of pus. Nail affections are associated with a deep dull pain that runs upward till the axilla (armpit).
FLOURIC ACID: Homeopathic medicine for Fast Growing and Crippled Nails With Fungal Infection
Homeopathic medicine Flouric acid assures positive results in cases where the nails grow very fast and are crippled. People have nails with longitudinal ridges. Nail changes may be associated with a sore pain in between the toes. Homeopathic medicine Flouric acid may also be prescribed in cases of nail infection with corns which are sore to touch.

*******
the above may or may not suit your mother. The symptoms associated with any complaint have to be described in detail, Then only an homeopathic prescription can be given.

Also describe the mucous. Is it thick/ropy/sticky/watery/hawked easily/with difficulty/ when it is more/what gives relief etc..

Similar is the case with all other present complaints.

We need to search for a medicine that covers the present symptom complex in totality. No separate medicine for each complaint.
