(Think of a person who is weepy, who doesn’t know what he wants, constantly trying to do something but gets nothing done, he has severe urinary infection with burning pains and chills. He also has cough and cannot seem to get out the tenacious mucous. The discharges are bloody, and he feels very weak, so much so that even speaking is an effort. Now urinary concomitant can be with any complaint that he may have. With cough, with meningitis, in erysipelas or other skin conditions etc; the pains are burning and raw and are agg touching but aml rubbing. He has severe heel pain. Cantharis also helped him when he had burns. Timely application prevented blister formation and he recovered quickly.)
