A Few Unique Cases-- Dr. S. K. MAMGAIN |
||||
| Case 2 A case of severe hiccough. About twenty five years ago a labourer about forty years of age was brought to my clinic; he was suffering from a very severe attack of hiccough for the past few days. When the paroxysm used to start a number of hiccoughs used to come one after the other so fast that he was unable to take a breath. I gave him Nux vomica 200 but it did not show any relief. The paroxysm were so severe that they were causing anxiety let the fellow suffocate. Now I put a dose of Magnesia phos. 1M on his tongue (I give three or four globules of No. 10 size in a little Sugar of Milk as a dose). And seeing the severity of the paroxysms of his hiccoughs I advise the accompanying persons to take him to the emergency service of the Govt. General Hospital if he does not find any relief within the next half an hour. Next day report came that by the time he reached his home less than a kilometer away, the hiccoughs stopped altogether never to return again. Editor's note : medicines like Nux-vomica, Kali brom and Mag-phos are among the most commonly used medicines for hiccoughs. Nux-vomica works better in cases of hiccups with some gastric trouble and Mag-phos works well because of its specific action in spasmodic disorders. The greater the intensity of the spasm, more is Mag-phos indicated.
Some excerpts from Comparative Materia Medica by CANDEGABE E. F. Disease is a reaction of the defense mechanism, and mental disturbance - the foundation of all physical symptomatology - arises from the conflict created between the promptings of the syphilitic miasm to destruction and death, or of the sycotic miasm to selfishness and egotism, and the constraints imposed upon the individual by society. His true self - a being of dynamism,
depth and intuition - is masked by the personality, and it can be
detected only through observation of his behaviour, the way he relates
to those around him, his dreams, fantasies and ambitions, and his
weakness. |
