Additional product info: Phellandrium aquaticum is a very good remedy for the offensive expectoration and cough in phthisis, bronchitis, and emphysema. Tuberculosis, affecting generally the middle lobes. The respiratory symptoms are most important, and have been frequently verified clinically. The recommended dose is the tincture, to sixth potency (1).
It seems probable that in Arsenicum iodatum, we have a remedy most closely allied to manifestations of tuberculosis. In the early stages of tuberculosis, even though there is an afternoon rise in temperature, Arsenicum iodatum is very effective. Chronic pneumonia, with abscess in lung. Pneumonia that fails to clear up. Broncho-pneumonia after grippe. This remedy is also to be remembered in phthisis with hoarse, racking cough and profuse expectoration of a purulent nature. Chronic bronchitis. Pulmonary tuberculosis. Cough dry, with little difficult expectoration (2).
Calcarea phosphorica is used in involuntary sighing. Chest sore. Suffocative cough; better lying down. Hoarseness. Pain through lower left lung. The recommended dose is first to third trituration. Higher potencies often more effective (3).
Chief action of Stannum metallicum is centered upon the nervous system and respiratory organs. Debility is very marked when Stannum is the remedy, especially the debility of chronic bronchial and pulmonary conditions, characterized by profuse muco-purulent discharges upon tuberculosis basis. Hoarse; mucus expelled by forcible cough. Violent, dry cough in evening until midnight. Cough excited by laughing, singing, talking; worse lying on right side. During day, with copious green, sweetish, expectoration. Chest feels sore. Chest feels weak; can hardly talk. Influenzal cough from noon to midnight with scanty expectoration. Respiration short, oppressive; stitches in left side when breathing and lying on same side. Phthisis mucosa. Hectic fever. The recommended dose is third to thirtieth potency (4).
Carbo vegetabilis is indicated in cough with itching in larynx; spasmodic with gagging and vomiting of mucus. Whooping cough, especially in beginning. Deep, rough voice, failing on slight exertion. Hoarseness; worse, evenings, talking; evening oppression of breathing, sore and raw chest. Wheezing and rattling of mucus in chest. Occasional spells of long coughing attacks. Cough, with burning in chest; worse in evening, in open air, after eating and talking. Spasmodic cough, bluish face, offensive expectoration, neglected pneumonia. Breath cold; must be fanned. Hæmorrhage from lungs (5).
Silicea is used when colds fail to yield; sputum persistently muco-purulent and profuse. Slow recovery after pneumonia. Cough and sore throat, with expectoration of little granules like shot, which, when broken, smell very offensive. Cough with expectoration in day, bloody or purulent. Stitches in chest through to back. The recommended dose is sixth to thirtieth potency (6).
Sulphur is useful when oppression and burning sensation in chest. Difficult respiration; wants windows open. Aphonia. Heat, throughout chest. Red, brown spots all over chest. Loose cough; worse talking, morning, greenish, purulent, sweetish expectoration. Much rattling of mucus. Chest feels heavy; stitches, with heart feeling too large and palpitating pleuritic exudations. Stitching pains shooting through to the back, worse lying on back or breathing deeply. Flushes of heat in chest rising to head. Oppression, as of a load on chest. Dyspnœa in middle of night, relieved by sitting up. Pulse more rapid in morning than in evening. The twelfth potency is a good one to begin treatment with, going higher or lower according to the susceptibility of the patient (7).
