HISTORY:This is a case of 14 year old boy with crooked nose with deviated septum from birth itself. He was suffering from severe nose bleed occasionally from last 10 years, but his problem got increased from year 2014. (bleeding almost every second or third day in a week )In the year 2016, this young boy came to my clinic in a very panic state with severe epistaxis. He was in acute stage. His whole shirt filled with profuse blood, His grandparents are believers of homeopathy. With a lot of trust in homeopathy they came to my clinic. My immediate challenge was to control his bleeding, and I did not get enough time to take case history, because patient was from abroad, and they were in hurry to catch return flight. Their immediate request was to stop his bleeding immediately which was not getting controlled by allopathic medicines that time, which he usually takes while on set of nose bleed. I asked only one question.. What is your present exact symptoms. He said, head congestion, dryness in nose, obstruction and PROFUSE BLEEDING (His shirt almost drenched with blood)

Case Management:

I gave him MELLIFOLIUM 6, in frequent repeated doses. This drug didn’t disappoint me, bleeding stopped within couple of minutes. I told them that this drug is not enough for him to get cured as I need to interview him. They promised me to meet me after one month. After going to their place, he got frequent attacks of nose bleeding. Mellifolium 30 and next Mellifolium 200 was given to him, which I already sent with them in first consultation. After Mellifolium his profuse bleeding stopped, and nose obstruction also no more. Role of Mellifolium finished at this point. There was no further improvement with Mellifolium. I needed a in-depth case history at that point of time, to select more deeper remedy to his constitution.

Then he got in contact with me again, I took his case in video call.He used to call me often, and became my friends. Initially, he asked me, why I am asking so many questions, he was a curious and intelligent child, over matured. He used to give me every single information about himself.

Sensitivity: He is sensitive to external impressions. Sensitive to weather changes and sounds. I observed his sensitivity in my clinic, how he got startled with sudden sound.

Nature: He used to have lot of anxiety and doubts regarding his health. He always felt happy and relaxed after my assurance and consultation.

Temperament: He is very well manner and sympathetic person, when ever he called me, he asks permission first if I was free to talk in a polite way and behaved according to my convenience. First talks were obviously friendly talks then slowly about his problem.

Demeanor: He was sincere to follow my words, whatever l said he followed exactly.. Keen listener. Loved talking with me. When ever I spoke he got. involved In that talk .

Personality: He is an independent person, not dependent on parents mediator ship in consultation, but whenever his problem began, however small it might have been he needs his mother’s and my support. Her mother would call and talk about his situation instead of him. He expects extra care and love when he gets sick

Symptoms: Swelling and dryness of nose, when ever he bled.

His nose bleed always came after or AGG by washing face.

There was a family history of tuberculosis

He used to get frequent attacks of coryza since childhood due to change of weather.

He said, he likes cold water but avoids all cold items, which aggravates his problem. So, more or less that was the case.

Case Management:

And the medicine given to him was…… YES MY DEAR FRIENDS, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT …. PHOSPHORUS..

PHOSPHORUS 1M once in a month followed by PHOSPHORUS 10M..

His epistaxis got reduced tremendously just with in few weeks, and stopped completely after 10M. Now two years passed, no recurrence. Which never happened before with allopathic medications. Doctors of his country advised him for surgery to stop his bleeding.. But our beautiful homeopathy saved him from surgical procedure. Thanks to Hahnemann and his beautiful science. Still he is in my observation.
