Q. What can be done for tonsillitis associated with cough and fever?

Hello doctor,

I am a 40-year-old male. I have been suffering from tonsillitis and fever for the last five days. I took antibiotics to treat my painful tonsillitis and fever and the antibiotic showed a very bad reaction. I developed skin rashes on my chest and around my nose.

Whenever I have anything that has a cold base like coconut water (or coconut), curd, cardamom or any other fruits I develop tonsillitis. Last week, I ate cardamom by mistake, and all that broke loose for me the next day morning. And since then I am really suffering a lot. Could you please help me with my current situation of tonsillitis and fever? After the onset of tonsillitis, I started to cough also.

Thank you doctor,

I would let you know about the improvement after a week.

Thanks for Your help ma'am. I am fine now.

Dear Ma’am,
First of all, I thank you for your help provided for my tonsil problems.

Today, I am writing to seek your advice on my mother’s health. She is 59 years of age. She suffers from Thyroid and High Blood Pressure and for these two ailments she takes the allopathic medicines.

She easily gets stressed on several situations of life.

Nowadays, she is getting little feverish and catching cold. She feels weak as well.
Actually weakness is kind of her constant problem. We give her allopathic vitamins but then she complains of flatulence and belching so we stop. Earlier we thought that the weakness could be due to thyroid but now when thyroid is under control she still complains of weakness.

I would be really grateful if you could help her with her weakness.

First of all, I am extremely sorry ma’am for not being able to reply to your earlier mail. But the reason is that I didn’t receive your earlier communication on 11th July. I myself was kind of surprised as to why you didn’t send any message. It could have happened due to some technical glitch I guess.

Anyways,here is the details on my mom’s situation:

Yes cold and feverish problem is daily. Though thermometer shows reading under 96°F. She sneezes for at least 10-15 times at one go. And yes she suffers from body ache with weakness.

As I had written to you earlier also, she suffers from Thyroid and High Blood Pressure problem for which she takes allopathic medicines to keep them under control.

Thanks a lot ma'am I would let you know about the situation of my mother after one week.

Hello ma'am,

Actually ma'am my mother complained of heart burn and flatulence after having first 5 pills of Arsenic Alb 3. And that is why she could not continue the medicine. The thing is that my mom has been suffering from flatulence problem for long. She even can't eat bananas and curd at the times of lose motions. She has this regular complaint of acidity. Anyways...ma'am thanks for your help...i would try to persuade her to have the medicines once her acidity and stomach bloating problem comes under control. Though we are giving her the allopathic capsules for flatulence ...I guess it would take some more days to come under control.

Hello ma'am,

I do agree that I missed to mention about her acidity and flatulence problem when you asked about other complaints and by the time I realized my mistake it was late...and I then thought that next time I would mention it. So, your anger is right ma'am.

The thing is that in recent past my mom had to be taken to hospital in the middle of night due to this acidity problems and on one occasion she started vomiting profusely also that is why she now fears to experiment with medicines. Actually ma'am, I had consulted one homoeopathic doctor in my city and he had given a whole host of medicines but the acidity problem of my mother didn't improve and last year she had to be admitted in the night after the vomiting bouts and that's why she gets afraid even at very tiny acidity episode.

One more thing is that my mother suffers from depression and in such cases fear psychosis kind of things are also there. Once the fear gets instilled it takes time to get out of fear. Through counseling we try to get her out of her frame of mind. Actually...she has suffered too much in life due to many uncontrollable factors of life and these problems of acidity and depression are just manifestations of the battles lost in life.

I once again assure you ma'am that there is no ill will against homoeopathy in her mind, she even fears allopathic medicines that cause adverse effects to her body.

Thanks a lot ma'am for recommending medicines for my mother's acidity ailment .

Yes,I do understand ma'am that you needed a complete detail of patient. I provided you only superficial details but I thought that it would be enough. From next time I would keep this in mind.

Thanks for your precious advice.

Her gastric problem has improved with the last time's medicines that you had prescribed. So, she is doing fine now. Thanks a lot for your advice ma'am.

I want to take your advice on one of my problems. Actually, I have problem of receding gums. My lower front side two teeth is exposed and has sensation. Gums don't bleed and there is no foul smell either. But dentists say that my teeth can come off the gums after 3-4 years. If I could get your medical advice on my this problem...I would be really grateful.

Neeraj Kumar

Ok...Thanks ma'am!

Thanks a lot ma'am for your advice...i will start the medicine from tomorrow and would let you know about my gum situation after 15 days.

Dear Ma’am

I had started Kali Phos 6x on 20th of August. My first impression was not good as I started having mind pain in my right side of stomach. I kept on having the medicine but the pain didn’t go. Then I started having feeling of heaviness around my eyes and around my nose with little tingling sensation. At one point the heaviness with tingling gets more heavier and I feel like choking. Is it any side effects of the medicine. I have stopped taking the medicine.

Please help.

Neeraj Kumar

As I told you I am having tingling sensation and heaviness around my eyes and my nose and after few minutes this heaviness increases to a level that I feel like choking. When I massage my head and areas around my eyes and nose then this tingling sensation and heaviness subsides for a while but then again it gains intensity. These symptoms are persisting for last two three days. I got bit scared so thought to talk to you about it.

Any puffiness around eyes?: No

difficult movements of eyelids? :No

blood pressure?: I take allopathic medicines for blood pressure and It is under control.
cold?: No

nasal congestion? :No

difficult swallowing? :No

choking whole day? Not whole day but only when the tingling sensation and heaviness increases I feel that I am feeling it difficult to breath from my nose. And this situation remains for a second or two.

feels good in fresh air?: Yes

any other medicines you took? allopathic? No

redness in eyes? No

Thanks ma'am for the advice.

Dear ma'am,

After the Kali Phos episode, I got really scared,so didn't try the medicine suggested by you. I let the effects of Kali Phos wear off and now I am completely fine. Actually, ma'am in my life I have suffered many times side-effects(reactions) of allopathic medines that is why I was scared to take Belladonna 30 and since I didn't take the medicine I was feeling a bit hesitant to talk to you.

As far as my mother's flatulence problem is concerned, It was under control but for last two days, she is complaining of gas as for last two days her medicines have finished and I forgot to bring it. So,it is entirely my mistake. One more thing she feels relief when she takes both Lycopodium and Carboveg, though you have stopped Carboveg but she says that she feels good after having both medicines. . Ma'am I couldn't get the Asafoetida tabs,here they gave me the mother tincture of Asafoetida but this medicine doesn't work very well with my mother. She complains of burning sensation in stomach after having Asafoetids drops.
Moreover, she is having Alfalfa mother tincture along with the Lycopodium and Carboveg.

Dear ma’am,

I am attaching two pages of blood report of my mother. I would like to have your advice on the report. If any homoeopathic intervention can be made to improve the liver functioning (though I don’t think that there is anything alarming yet I am not a doctor) . So, I would like your advice on both of the reports.

Neeraj Kumar

I am not being able to attach the Blood report files from 'Browse Files' button. Pls help!

I have not visited any doctor yet. Actually, my mother is on thyroid medicine so along with the thyroid test I got done all other tests also. I am writing below her T3,T4 and TSH findings.
T3: 123 Reference Range: 60-200
T4: 11.1 Reference Range :4.5-12
TSH: 0.85 Reference Range :0.3-5.5

Now she complains of weakness and backache yes some times she complains of dizziness also.
