| A
fatty, chubby boy with short neck aged 8 years was brought to me for
sinusitis. His vision was normal. His X ray for PNS confirmed bilateral
frontal and maxillary sinusitis. Her mother told that he passes a tough,
ropy greenish plugs from his nose every day and while sleeping salivation
hung in strings. His headache in forehead and occiput was relieved after
discharges. I examined his throat, the tonsils were normal, yellow coating
at the base of the tongue and uvula was red and swollen. I prescribed
a remedy, which cured his chronic complaint.
Can you guess the similimum, which has cured his complaint? Dr.R.Gnanasambandam , Chennai
