Whitlow 03572...Gabon
A 35-year-old woman was suffering from unbearable pain on her left ring finger for 3 days. There was inflammation from the tip of her finger up to the nail. It had been diagnosed as whitlow. She did not take any medicine and consulted the practitioner on 5 August 2018. He asked her whether she was having this problem for the first time. She recalled about a similar painful condition 20 years ago and her mother had rubbed lemon on her finger. She was given the following remedy:
CC18.5 Neuralgia + CC21.11 Wounds & Abrasions...every 10 minutes for 1-2 hours, TDS for 2 weeks.
Within an hour her pain had decreased by 50%. She continued the remedy every 10 minutes up to 2 hours after which she hardly felt any pain. The patient thought she was already cured and stopped the treatment. After three days, she started taking the remedy TDS exactly as advised by the practitioner as the pain had reappeared. That very night her pain disappeared. The next day she felt mild pain on her right foot which also vanished within two days. On 23 August 2018, since she was free from pain, the dosage was reduced to OD for 2 weeks and stopped. As of November 2018, her problem has not recurred.
