A Case of Medorrhinum

Homeopath Edel Bolger O'Hora

Case Anamnesis
Girl, 2 ½ years old. She has a large head in proportion to body since birth. In her early months she had a lot of digestive disturbance, intestinal pain and lack of appetite. She has now anaemia according to mother. She is pale and her skin is translucent. She is sometimes gray under her eyes and has red eyelids and lachrymation, especially in open air.

Her head is drawn back during sleep. In her early weeks she was rolling her head on pillow and was generally restless when awake. Later she developed restless during sleep. She perspires copious amounts over her entire body.

Food and Drink
Her weight at birth was between eight and nine pounds. At five months she had gained only two pounds. At one years old her anterior fontanelle was still open and she had no teeth. She was slow to walk and tended to red rash on her buttock which was at times dry and scaly. Cervical and jugular region enlarged.

Respirations

Her respiration today is obstructed by adenoid development. Mentally she is alert and inclined to be precocious. She is sensitive with paroxysms of nervous weeping.

Development

She had six teeth in front of mouth, four back teeth on left side and no teeth on right side. She weighed 25 pounds, was able to stand, but fearful about walking alone, chattered much unintelligibly, speaking a few words clearly and presented a very irritable, fretty disposition

Rubrics(Repertory Nosodes and sarcodes, Berkley Squire)

Stomach, pain, amel, bending double

Stomach, nausea, in general

Rectum, diarrhoea, from birth

Stools, adherent

Mind, irritability, in general

Prescription: Medorrhinum

Review 6 weeks later

Food and drink

She had a lot of diarrhoea of yellow, mushy, offensive evacuations and later her skin had large splotches, spread from head over entire body.
Development 

She sleeps on the abdomen and frequently with knees drawn up and face in the pillow.

Respirations

The adenoids appear to have softened, are smaller and have a greenish yellow, offensive, partly bloody discharge. Some slight swelling revealed by palpation.

This child is far from complele restoration to health but is vastly improved.
Prescription
Medorrhinum

Conclusion

This child continued to improve with no need for further prescription.

Both parents are especially fastidious. Careful investigation into the family history reveals no evidence of Sycotic infection in either of the parents nor in the grandparents on one side.

From all that could be learned, the conclusion was drawn that the miasm was transmitted in this case through three generations. The nosode has changed the physical condition of the child. A hopeful prognosis for her future life.
