Case of post vaccination cough and fever treated with SILICEA (homeopathy)
A 15 year old child received covid vaccination a month and a half back. He started suffering from evening temperature rise and an irritant productive cough which was preventing sleep. He also used to develop vesicular itchy eruptions every summer in his palms and feet for last 4-5 yrs, which came back after vaccination, in winter, for the first time. His hands and feet perspired profusely and toes will develop sores on prolonged use of shoes. He was given Silicea 200 one dose and was asked to report after a week. The mother reported an immediate decline and then relief in a day, in cough. he no more suffered from evening rise of temperature. He was kept on placebo for another month. The reaction to next dose of vaccination is yet to be seen.
Explanation
This is an interesting case as generally when the person is suffering from a chronic ailment (he has had sweating palms and feet with summer appearance of vesicular eruptions), the exciting cause calls for an acute remedy. In this case even after an exciting cause(vaccination), the indications of remedy remained same (productive cough and fever after vaccination). Silicea settled the case.
