H/o by patient’s mother:

Fever-
Suddenhigh grade fever. She was dull and toxic in fever.
Thirsty ++.
She was restless due to the pain in the eruptions on the buttocks.Irritable and weeping due to pain. All the time she wants her mother near her. They went to the Dr. nd she took medicine without relief. On the second day she developed dry blisters on the buttocks with severe burning pain and was not able to sit or move.

She becomes irritable and angry due to pain. Not eating, not sleeping, not talking to anyone. When she bends forward it’s difficult for her to get up in a straight position.She said there is a tight feeling “as if someone holds me in this region.”

Conclusion
In casetaking the first 10 minutes is very important for getting the chief complaint.
The idea here is to go to the hard facts at the LOCAL LEVEL and explore the LOCAL SENSATION and MODALITIES looking for PQRS.If there are significant charactertic symptoms at this level, they would be the surest symptoms to find the remedy.

Kudos to Dr. for the proper selection of Rhustox 200.I had sixth nerve palsy which affected my Right eye at the age of 74.
I suffered heavily, lost my sleep, became restless. My friend Sri. Balu gave Rhustox 200 and I could get substantial relief.
It is a practical case where Rhustox die wonder.
