A strong indication for this remedy is any trouble beginning on the left side of any part of the body, particularly in the throat, whether going over to the right side subsequently, or remaining on the left side. In diphtheria, or any sore throat, where the trouble begins on the left of the throat or tonsils; if we find the soreness, swelling, or diphtheritic patches on both sides of the throat, ascertain which side was attacked first; or if it is almost entirely on the right side, ascertain whether it started on the left side. (Lycop. is just the reverse of the above; Lycop. troubles begin on the right side.) The patient will probably be restless, with very high pulse, great fever, etc.
Another characteristic is: where the patient sleeps into an aggravation; as e.g., in croup; is very well while awake, but as soon as goes to sleep, the croup symptoms appear in great violence; child almost suffocates, and the mother or nurse is consequently really afraid to let him go to sleep. Also in convulsions; patient has none while awake, but as soon as he is asleep they appear. And so with any trouble that is brought on by going to deep at any time, in day or night.
In all hæmorrhages from the bowels in the typhoid or typhus fever, when in the bottom of the vessel are seen black particles of blood like charred straw; there may be epistaxis, with bleeding from the mouth and bowels at the same time.
Mental
Amativeness; affections of the intellect in general. Sadness when wakening in the morning or night (particularly in the morning; no desire at all to mix with the world. Restless and uneasy); does not wish to attend to business, but wants to be off somewhere all the time.
Sexual
Female: In females who never get well from the change of life--"have never felt well since that time;" may have unnatural unwell periods. During change of life, where she has flashes of heat all day, and cold flashes on retiring at night.
Skin
Burning of; blueness of. Flat exanthema which do not fill up. Blotches on; boils; blue-black swellings; pustulous exanthema; spongy excrescences; wounds bleed profusely and a great while; skin very hard to heal; itching blisters. Itching ulcers, and ulcers in general; with dark blisters around; bluish (ulcers); flat; hard on the circumference; with white spots in them; with black base or bottom; discharging too little pus; bleeding--especially if they bleed a great deal.
Generalities
Affections in general of the right chest; left side of the throat; right lower extremity; right abdominal ring; symptoms generally appear on right side; symptoms beginning on left side with great tendency to spread to the right side. Apoplexy. Cyanosis. In old chronic sore throats--throat may not be very sore, but a great quantity of mucus will stick there, and occasions much hawking and spitting to no purpose--the mucus will stick and can't be forced up or down. Constipation where the anus feels tight, and as if nothing could go through it.
Worse
In the evening; on sleeping, suitable for sufferings of drunkards; from violent bleeding; from narcotic medicines; from spirituous liquors; from abuse of mercury; on rising from the bed; after rising from the bed.
Better
While eating.
Remedies following
Acon., Arsen., Hyosc., Lycop., Mercur., Nux vom., Phosphor., Pulsat., Silic., Sulphur.
