Throat Infection 11406...India
An 88-year-old man had complained of throat pain, hoarseness and cough accompanied with phlegm for the past three weeks. His doctor had prescribed antibiotics for throat infection. There was no improvement after finishing the one week’s course; so the patient decided to go for vibrionics treatment instead.
On 15 June 2018, the following combo was given:
#1. CC12.1 Adult tonic + CC19.6 Cough chronic...6TD
After four days, the patient seemed visibly happy and reported that the throat pain and hoarseness were cured completely and the cough had come down substantially. But in the morning hours, he was still bothered by a constant need to expectorate which he found very difficult. Sometimes white chalky phlegm would come out. He was advised to continue #1 at a reduced dosage of TDS.
During the next 3 weeks, there was negligible relief. So, on the prompting of her senior practitioner, she asked the patient if he was living near a construction site. The patient confirmed that some building work was in progress near his residence.
On 13 July 2018, #1 was stopped and the following remedy was given:
#2. CC17.2 Cleansing + CC19.3 Chest infections chronic...TDS
In a week’s time, there was 95% improvement. By 27 July, the patient felt 100% better, so the dosage was tapered down to BD and then to OD. As there was no recurrence of the symptoms, the remedy was stopped on 17 August 2018. The patient has been fine ever since as indicated by a recent review at the end of October 2018.
