Discussion of case: This case is of a charitable trust O.P.D where we are seeing more than 80 cases per day. We have hardly 10 minutes to take a new case. Initially on the acute totality Ars-alb was given but gave only temporary relief.

As an anti-miasmatic Nat-sulph was given, according to Boericke’s Materia Medica, to prevent further attacks. Nat Sulph ” ASTHMA IN CHILDREN, as a constitutional remedy”. After that, eruptions started to appear and old symptoms were reappearing. This was according to Hering’s law of cure. Eruptions were increasing and pt was not getting any relief. Parents were very much disturbed.

Due to family background and symptomatology, Sulphur 200 was given, but it was not giving the desired result, so L.M. Sulphur was given. But after that eruptions increased. You can see in this in the photographs. At this stage the advice of homoeopath Dr. N.R. Rangoonwala was sought. He advised to just wait and watch, which I did. After that the eruption decreased by 90% and most important, there was no attack of asthma. During the time of aggravation the parents had faith in homoeopathy and so continued the treatment. Their child is now free of asthma.

Conclusion: L.M. potency helped very much. It brought old symptoms back very quickly. It is very important to wait and watch when skin symptoms appear.
