"Agonized tossing about is essential to an Acon.-case, " T.F.Allen. Acon. affects the left side, preferably the upper part. Its abuse calls for Bry. and esp. Sulph. After exudation starts Acon. is useless; it is then that such remedies as Bell., Bry., Iod., Sulph., etc., according to indications should follow. Is the ONLY known remedy for: Pain cutting after the chill; fever with one cheek red [or ear; usually the red side is the affected side snex] and hot, the other pale and cold; sense of boiling water poured into the chest. Is THE leading remedy for: Thought he was about to die; fear in a crowd; nervous excitement; vertigo, swaying to right; loud, barking cough; palpitation daytime, or after fright; faintness after urination; fever alternating with chill; sense of hot water in the chest. Acon.: THERAPEUTIC HINTS - The agonized tossing about. Borland bl4 Flushed face [during fever]. [... face, which is flushed but pales when the infant is raised rbbx] The desire is almost always for cold drinks. With this intense excitement, restlessness and anxiety, in your Acon-patient you find you have contracted pupils. That is the first point you have to fix on from the prescribing point of view. The next point is that, in spite of the extremely hot, flushed face and hot skin, your Acon-patients complain of coldness of the extremities. Another point which is an Acon-indication is that the patients very quickly develop a constant, dry, short cough, which they say is due to the dryness of their throat. Very early they begin to have pains, pretty acute stabbing ones, usually in the left side of the chest. If you see your Acon-patient after the first twelve hours you can usually make out early signs at the left apex that is where you get your first definite clinical indication that the patient is starting a consolidation. And here a distinguishing point comes in; the Acon-patient with definite early involvement of the left side of the chest is aggravated by lying on the affected [either j3.de] side, he is more uncomfortable turned over on the left [differentiating from Bry. - better lying on painful side and pressure snex]. The most comfortable position is well propped up, lying on the back." Very early, if the patient is developing pneumonia, he begins to bring up small quantities of sputum which is streaked with bright blood, and with the effort of coughing he feels as if his chest were being cut. If you see the patient within the first twenty-four hours, or possibly within the first thirty-six hours, you will find these Acon-indications, but if it has gone on beyond thirty-six hours at the outside you will not get your response from Acon. Nor will you get Acon-indications. If it has gone beyond the Acon-stage there will be definite patches of consolidation in the affected lung and you will get no response to Acon., you will have to go on to one of the drugs for the later stages of pneumonia. Nash nh6 "The chill is generally pronounced and is promptly followed by high grade inflammatory fever, ...". [Chill from extremities to chest and head - aggravated by slightest movement or lifting of bed clothes (DD - Nux-v.). modx] "The expectoration with the cough is tenacious and lumpy, of dark cherry red color. Now if Acon. is exhibited in potency from the 6th to the 30th, often repeated, there will generally follow profuse perspiration and amelioration of all the other symptoms. But if such is not the case after twenty-four hours - Sulph. 30th once in 2 hours will complement and often conquer the disease in its first stage. These two remedies will abort many cases, if we are called to a case of this character in time, as I can affirm from experience." Lilienthal ll1 Percussion-sound is still clear, and crepitating rales distinctly audible [and no vocal fremitus snex].
