hello rishi
i cant identify exactly when this arises.when i was bachelor this type of problem was not happened.my wedding was on october 2005.
This problem arised on march 2006.I can not say exactly in what condition it arises.
but when it happens, it will remain on whole day.Even when i am doing work in office then again whole day continuos sneezing and watery discharge from nose happens.
Suddenly i feel itching in nose and eyes then sneezing and discharging occur.
When continuos sneezing happens then only watering from the eyes happen.it is bland.and discharge from nose is also bland.
Probable cause is unidentified.
And there is no fix timing, some time it happens in morning ,some times in afternoon, some times in whole day also, some times in night.

as you have not been able to give me the modalities, based on the nature of discharged stated, i am suggesting ALLIUM CEPA 30C a few doses in 1 to 2 hours interval whenever you have the attack next. take it as long as the symptoms are present but not more than 8 to 10 doses in any case.

if this doesnt work, try one dose of ARS ALB 200C one dose in the morning in empty stomach on any one day during the attack.

note the response for a week after taking the dose.

Dear Rishimba

I have a similar case on my hands now.

The problem is very similar. Itching in the nose, then the sneezing starts, coryza comes, and stays for a day or two.

This patient also takes cetzine (I am not sure of the spelling), and gets relieved temporarily.

The problem starts again after a day or two.

I have taken a full case yesterday, and I am working on it.

I will let you know the details and the work out.

classical last decade
dear classical,

here, i feel the modalities and the nature of discharges will finally point to the remedy.

allium cepa is worse in warm room whereas ars alb is worse in cold.

further, acrid discharges, both from nose and eyes call for ars alb.

in mentals, nervousness, fear etc will point to ars alb.
 
rishimba last decade
Thanks rishi
i will keep responsing after one week after taking these doses.

Coryza starts with Itching of nose due to smoke,odor of spices,change of weather from hot
to cold, taking cold water.

blocked nostrils,sneezing violent in the morning,

to head aggravates the problem.. avoids cold water.

******

Looks like Arsenic iodide, Kali iodide are two possibilities.

Would you like to add anything?

I will start with Ars.Iodide, and see the response.

He definitely needs a nosode,I feel.

What will be best for him, as an intercurrent?

Medicines so far tried are Aconite,Cepa,Sabadilla,Ars,Silecia,Gels,nux.v,sulphur and a few others.

None of them brought a cure, so far, though some relieve temporarily.

I was prescribing acutely earlier, and this is the first time I took a complete case.

May be Kali Bich too.

I look forward to further discussion.

have you tried PULSATILLA. this is certainly a probable remedy.

is he having any history of suppression of ear discharges? if yes, MERC is also indicated.
 
rishimba last decade
I don't remember giving him Puls. I will look into it.

I am basically looking for a medicine which has this peculiarity.

All his nose and head symptoms like coryza,headache are worse in cold weather, suffers a lot if he eats/drinks anything cold, but as a person he is comfortable with cold. He definitely can be considered a hot person, with his head and nose symptoms getting aggravated from cold.He is comfortable with a hot bath.

Merc is also a possibility, but, he didn't have any history of suppressed ear discharges.

We will discuss further.

Thank you for your interest in this case.

Kent differentiates the medicines for hay fever, while discussing Pulsatilla.

************

Iodide of Arsenic; anxiety, restlessness and weakness; frequent sneezing and copious watery nasal discharge that burns the lip. Burning, watery discharge from the eyes like Arsenic. Arsenic wants to be very warm; wants hot water applied to the eyes; the only relief is from sniffing hot water up the nose. The Iodide of Arsenic is worse in a warm room, and, for days after sneezing, the discharge thickens and becomes gluey, looking like thick yellow honey, this excoriates; much pain through the root of the nose and eyes; often rawness in the chest with dyspnoea.

The remedies having the dyspnoea are Arsenic, Iodide of Arsenic, Iodine, Kali hydr., and Sabadilla; these are the ones I have found most frequently indicated in the asthmatic forms of hay fever. If the complaint has been developed after being overheated about that time, you will find that Silica, Puls. and Carbo veg. must be carefully compared.

There is another class of remedies having the stuffing up of the nose not relieved by the discharge. There is a constant duke to blow the nose, yet he gets no relief. This makes me think at once of Lach., kali bi., Psor., Naja and Sticta.

http://www.homeoint.org/books3/kentmm/puls.htm

***********

His slight dispnoea and the relief he gets from hot water bath made me to go for Ars.Iodide.

However, Pulsatilla too can't be ruled out.

Dear Mr.Murthy,

I had not read this thread earlier but i think that Ars. Iod. may be the correct remedy.

Rajiv
 
rajivprasad last decade
He was given the first dose of Ars.Iodide 30c liquid potency in water, yesterday night, repeated today morning, after succussing the remedy.

Now, it is afternoon here. He called me on my mobile and informed that he is much better, and wanted to know whether he should continue the medicine.

Since he is not fully relieved, I told him to continue taking at the rate of 3 doses per day, till tomorrow, with instructions to stop it, the moment he gets complete relief.

Resonse like this is what is to be expected in acute problems (even in chronic problems with acute exacerbarations), with homeopathy.

I was also keeping my fingers crossed, but, feedback like this stresses the importance of taking a complete case, for recurrent problems, and assures me that my insistance to take a complete case, is correct.

At one stage, the patient felt uneasy at the myraid of questions I was asking, and wanted to know, whether all this is necessary. This, his being my best friend.!

I told him if he wants real benefit, there is no other way, and he oblized.

I am posting this example as a reminder to those who are reluctant to complete the questionnaries, and want a quick fix.

I definitely know that he is not cured yet. He may need a series of medicines. But, I am confident this is a good beginning.

Dear Mr. Murthy,

Ars. Iod. is a very deep acting anti-tubercular miasm remedy and hence it will go a long distance in curing him if it is the correct remedy.You may need Tuberculinum as an intercurrent later.

Rajiv
 
rajivprasad last decade
Yes Rajiv.

Tub. may be indicated after some time.

Don't call me Mr.Murthy. Plain Murthy is enough. : )

He was on ars.iodide 30c,succussed before each dose, 2 drops liquid mixed in about 30 ml. of water, thrice a day, initially and tapered to a single dose early in the morning when he wakes up.

He was free of all his rhinitis problems for a week, but, the problem returned despite a daily dose.

I gave a gap of two days, and gave him a single wet dose of carcinosin 200c,and asked him to wait for a few days.

I will post feedback after I return.

Carcinosin is selected based on the indication to use it in case ars.iodide fails to relieve fully.

His family history too made me to try a single dose, as an intercurrent.

Murthy
 
gavinimurthy last decade
He is back on Ars.Iodide, single two drop dose succussed daily, taken first thing in the morning.

He is fine. Didn't take Cetzine since starting on Ars.Iodide, which is a sort of record for him.

In general in good spirits.No other adverse reactions/symptoms so far, despite the daily dose.

He wants to continue the daily dose for some more time,and I too am curious and allowed him to take it, just to see what happens.

I want to see whether he will start a proving/get any accessory symptoms; or keeps improving without any hindrance.
