Help with sore throat needed

[Gaye Bennett-Matthews]

HI Becky
Interesting you should say Nux-v because it was
mentioned on a tele-conference 2 weeks ago that nux-v
was the genus epidemicus for the bug that was
circulating at this time, however "Lots of saliva"
would also beg to examine Merc and I would also explore
his emotional/mental state related to feelings
surrounding issues with his family as he anticipates
the "impending" visit (your words or his?), perhaps an
inner conflict. perhaps not at all but worth exploring.
Good Luck
Gaye

Dear all

I am trying to find a remedy for a friend who is in
great pain with
a sore throat, and due to go on holiday in a couple of
days. I'm
very much a beginner in homeopathy and do tend to
struggle with
repertorising so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've done my rubrics and had a good look at them, and
also looked at
David Little's First Aid page, but I still feel
uncertain about
which to choose.

Throat is red, very painful with inflammed tonsils
He feels like crying due to the pain and being ill
before impending
holiday (he is going home to see his family and really
needs this
break, emotionally as well as physically)
He has a headache and slight nausea too
All his muscles are aching
Pain is worse on swallowing
He has no desire for food or fluids, hot or cold
He is very hot, but tends to be like that normally
Glands very swollen
Swallowing hurts so much his eyes water
Worse in the morning
Started on left, now on both sides
Mouth and throat are not dry, lots and LOTS of saliva
but no mucous
No cough, just sore throat
Pain came on gradually

From David's site the two that seem to mostly fit are
Belladonna and
Sulphur. However, they don't jump out at me when I
read the MM.
Nux-v seems to fit most of the rubrics I used, and he
does have a
tendency to abuse drugs and get sick afterwards.

I'm very uncertain and would dearly love to be able to
help him.

Thanks very much.
Becky
