Husten/Croup
Hustenarten:.
- trockener Husten akuter Infekt: Acon. Bell. Bry.
geht von Nase-Rachen zu Bronchien: Phos. Stict. Cor-r. Rumx.
- Krampf- + Reiz-Kitzelhusten: Bell. Dros. Ip. Rumx. Hyos (< gleich nach Hinlegen)
- feuchter Husten:
Auswurf leicht: Puls.
Auswurf schwierig: Ip. Ant-t. Stict.
Auswurf zäh: Hydr. Kali-bi.
- Husten nachts: Consider the use of opium and its derivatives for the
suppression of coughs. If this is continued for any length of time…we find the
patient has become subject to a condition far more serious, for he has
developed a chronic state of night cough; each time it is suppressed it is
driven still deeper, and the patient soon develops fever, night sweats, and a
general hectic condition. The danger of this suppression is very great, as can
easily be noticed, especially in pneumonias, where the least suppression is
often fatal.
Acon.: from
exposure to a dry cold wind takes a cold today and, comes down with croup to
night in the first sleep. Before midnight has a dry spasmodic cough; hoarse
cough;
Spongia has taken a cold yesterday
or the day before. < Every mental excitement or increase of cough. First
roughness and dryness of the mucous membranes, sneezing.
Acon. + Spong. have croup before midnight with dry, hoarse, barking
cough, sawing respiration and dry air passages. They are so similar that when
Aconite only partially controls the condition and it returns the next night, or
lasts on beyond midnight,
Ambra.: cough followed by eructation of wind from the stomach. Ambra
grisea is one of the best. Another is Sulphur and a third is Veratrum album.
Am-c.: [H.R. Arndt] cough of elderly people, rattling, loose, yet
difficult to raise anything; after much effort raises mucus, at times slightly
tinged with specks of blood. Night cough < 3 or 4 h. from tickling in the
throat, as though there were dust in it.
Am-m.: dry in the morning and loose in
the afternoon +/o. evening. Keynotes: coldness between the shoulder
blades/sciatica > when lying down
Spong.: follows
naturally/because it was probably the remedy in the beginning. < each
succeeding night, hoarse barking and crowing before midnight, though it also
has a croup after midnight. Deep-acting/sometimes come on suddenly. Paroxysmal
anxiety in croup, heart and throat disease. Dry, with no rattling/< warm
room/heat. Dry, Croupy, Seal’s cough, saw thru wood. > warm drinks
Hep. < at night/in the morning. And
when Acon. has apparently controlled, but the croup returns the next morning,
Hep. comes in. Or if croup comes on again the next evening with rattling Hep.
will also
be suitable. If the child wants to be covered or says that it is chilly.
[W. A. Dewey] When the cough begins to loosen and becomes rattling, fatiguing
and choking, with moist rales, “Coughing into a choke”
is a valuable indication for this remedy. It corresponds more closely to
sub-acute cases.
Calc-s. Child says the room is too warm and
kicks the covers off.
Iod. Wants to be “cool”
Ars./Nux-v./Lyc. > from warm drinks

suits almost any paroxysmal cough when the
attacks are violent, but not very close together, and are attended by much
redness of the face and a general sense of feeling too hot. If irritation of
the kidneys, with scanty, thick heavy urine, passed pretty often also attends,
it is doubly indicated and the results will be brilliant

bedeckende Hautstelle) träufeln/direkt auf Haut auflegen. Mit passendem Plastik
bedecken und fixieren. Lange sitzen lassen (wenigstes übernacht). Für Husten/Bronchitis/Schmerz in

Stann-met.: Most coughs < lying on the left side. A patient who
complained of a recurrent severe cough every fall, often progressing to
pneumonia. His strongest modality < lying

cases.

< lying on the right side. Stann-met. cured the case. Remember the sweet
tasting sputum of Stann-met. which has helped me to find the right remedy in
several cases.
