Introduction
Human body has some special sense organs and systems. They are Eyes, Nose, Ears, Tongue and Skin. Their special works are to see, to smell, to hear, to taste and to feel or sense. Eyes care by ophthalmologist; they treat normally suffering from eyes. Skin care by a dermatologist, normally they treat skin disease. ENT and mouth care specialist are treated several disorders of ear, nose and throat and mouth also. ENT specialist treats their patient by medicine or by surgery according to the merit of the case.
Some common ENT sufferings are
- Ear infection (Otitis Media),
- Hearing problems, deafness, hearing problems in children’s etc.
- Nose injury, nose bleeding, nose disorders, smelling disorders, nasal polyp, nasal septum defect, nasal cancer and common rhinitis etc.
- Throat infection, throat disorders, throat cancer, esophagus disorders, tonsillitis, cough, pharyngitis and many other disorders.
Be a homoeopath I am not a so-called specialist or surgeon of any sense organ because we treat the patient not the disease. Some time patient got relief from the suffering of sense organ diseases and can avoid surgical treatment by our Homoeopathic medicine. I discuss below such a case treated by me.
Case
A patient came to me for treatment of his ear. At that time he was under treatment of an ENT specialist.
I told him to complete your treatment at first, then if yours suffering not reduced after completing treatment, I take your case.
He stayed beside my flat. But I was not got time to take his case because his job time (2PM – 12 PM) was not matched with my time (8AM – 4PM). He left home at 1PM return home from his job at midnight approximate (1AM-2AM). After that, he took some refreshment and dinner then at 3AM he goes to bed for sleep. I left my home in morning at 7AM and return back in the evening at 6PM. He was in deep sleep when I left my home and he was not present in home when I came back at evening in home. So meet with him in the working day was difficult for me. I took his case on Sunday because this day was an off day both of us.
He was suffering a problem of the left external ear. He had swelling in the left outer ear ( Pinna ), no redness, without pain and burning sensation in touch or edematous like condition. He felt pain given pressure on the swelling part. There was no history of injury or insect bite or contact any allergen or corrosive agent. He could not notice his swelling himself, it noticed by his colleague at his working place. He said to me in the morning he fills nothing about also the ear and no problems in hearing. He did not know how it occurs. His external auditory canal almost covered by swelling. Other complains – he was suffering fungal infection from two years in the buttock. He was also suffering in skin irruption on face. Skin irruption of face continued two years. He treated by a dermatologist for above that infection. He takes allopathic medicine for skin irruption and fungal infection as well as an ointment for external use for the same suffering. He was in gastritis, blotting in the middle abdomen, loss appetite due to sleep disturbance at night. No history of another suffering.
