BELLADONNA mit generierter deutscher Übersetzung Pulfords Remarks: When one thinks of Bell. there comes to mind a vascular, plethoric, vigorous, intellectual individual or mentally active child whose complaints, like those of Acon., have come on suddenly and violently, stay any length of time and go as suddenly as they come, his pains and sweats esp. do so; burning heat and redness, to which dryness may be added, are very characteristic of Bell., the heat leaving a burning sensation to the examining hand; there is a high fever, always remittent, never continued; during fever the bright red skin, usually shiny, becomes mottled as the fever advances; there is general throbbing, but esp. of the carotids [DD - Verat-v. snex]; the pains are agg. by motion, jarring, light, noise and jar of bed [but not from breathing! snex]; face is flushed; the pupils large, eyes glisten; great thirst, esp. for lemonade; generally agg. at 15h; takes cold from any draft of air; full, rapid [hard, incompressible - DD Ferr-p. also rapid and full but compressible/soft snex] pulse. Bell. prefers the right side like Bry., but unlike Bry., Bell., cannot lie on the painful side. Infants laid on the painful side will turn to the opposite side immediately, a knowledge of which has helped us save several cases. Is the ONLY known remedy for: Fear of animals; sits and breaks pins; burning heat alternating with chilliness, or internal and external, body burning hot; sweat coming and going suddenly.

Bell.: THERAPEUTIC HINTS - The burning heat and redness. Borland bl4 · It is attended by a violent temperature, running up to 105° F (40, 6°C) or over, with intense excitement of the heart, and a pulse which feels as if it would almost burst through the vessels. The patient is always extremely excited, and I have seen these Bell-cases, particularly in children, in which the patients have been practically delirious within twelve hours of the onset of the Subdivision, with the temperature running up to 106°F (41, 1°C). · If the patients go on to the delirious state or possibly even short of that you always find intense excitement in Bell. It is not the extreme anxiety and fear of impending death which you get in Acon. It is a question of excitement; and in the adult the Bell-case is the type which comes into hospital and Sister reports: "I will have to get a special for this patient, I cannot keep him in bed, he is restless, excited and crying out, and almost impossible to control". · The next thing which distinguishes these patients is the state of the pupils, which in Bell. are always widely dilated. You can take on to that the Bell. photophobia, which is intense; these patients are invariably sensitive to light. If you are nursing a Bell-pneumonia you are tempted to keep a light in the room as the patient appears to be terrified of all sorts of things, but, if you do, for goodness sake do not let it shine on your patient. · They seem to see strange things in shadowy corners, and one feels one must keep the light on to let them see what is there, but it is absolutely essential that it should not shine on them. This is a very useful distinguishing point, because some of the other drugs have a similar condition in delirium, but they hate to be in the dark and want the room lighted as otherwise they imagine all sorts of things in dark corners. · Bell-patients always prefer to have the room darkened because of their photophobia which outweights all else. · Then as regards the thirst, Bell. patients always have a dry mouth. It is always laid down in the textbooks that Bell. is intensely thirsty, but I have seen quite a number of Bell-pneumonias in which there was very little thirst at all; the patients complained of the mouth being very dry, hot, and burning, and yet they were not particularly thirsty. So do not be put off Bell. because the patient is not as thirsty as one would expect from the statements in the textbooks. · In the pneumonias you do not get the typical strawberry tongue that is described in Bell.; you are much more likely to find a congested, dry, dark red tongue. · I think a right-sided pneumonia is more common in Bell., but I have seen cases with the main involvement on the left side. · The thing that is constant about them is that any movement of any kind is liable to bring on an attack of coughing. In the early stages, the Bell. cough is a very dry, painful, tearing cough, and the sputum is usually very scanty indeed. · These patients always have a very intense, congestive throbbing headache, which is worse if they are lying with the head at all low, and is frightfully sensitive to any movement. · Another symptom of Bell. which is sometimes helpful is that the patients are very liable to develop an acute hyperaesthesia of the chestwall over the affected area. The chestwall becomes astonishingly sensitive to touch, and is horribly painful on coughing. And, because of this hyperaesthesia of the chestwall the patients are unable to lie on the affected side. Nash nh6 "Bell. is to be preferred in this [first] stage, if the fever and heat is fully as great as that of the Acon. case, but the patient is more stupid, not so anguished, but jerks and twitches in sleep, is delirious, the eyes are very red, the face dark red and bloated, especially upper lip; the carotids throb [DD Verat-v. snex] and beat visibly, and instead of the universally hot, dry skin there is sweat on the covered parts; the blood mounts to the brain as well as to the chest, and it is sometimes, especially in children, difficult to tell whether the brain or lung is the center of the trouble, from outward signs. The Bell. case is more apt to run into that condition which is called typhoid pneumonia." Baehr bhb2 Pneumonia as complication of acute bronchitis. Quite frequent this is the case in epidemics and these cases often have a typhoid character right from the beginning. In old people regularly Bell. is to be prefered against Acon., as well as with people addicted to alcohol. In both cases the typhoid character will be found right from the beginning. Hoyne hn1 Picking at the bed-clothes with delirum. Rückert rke1 Almost like with Bry. the indications for prescribing Bell. will show themselfes in the general symptoms and those confinded to other organs than from the local chest-symptoms; the allready clearly characterized picture of the Bell.-actions on the whole organism will be a much safer leader for the use in pneumonias, than the special action on lungs and pleura. (Cl. Müller) Mathur mtarx Congestive stage: Among children convulsions are usually present. ... Moaning at every breath. ... The pain is mostly localized in the lower part of the right lung darting upwards to the right shoulder; agg. by coughing; ... The tongue is inflamed and red like strawberry. The urine may be scanty or totally surpressed. Grinding of teeth. Agg - Afternoon, and after midnight; from draught of air in hot weather, from heat of sun. Amel - Rest; standing or sitting erect; warm room. Gupta gtr1 ... Dryness of nose, throat and trachea, pain in throat during barking spasmodic cough, which comes in paroxysms (ie., attacks of cough at short intervals - come one after the other). Frequent short tickling cough in larynx and trachea due to laryngo-tracheitis, ie., due to inflammation of larynx and trachea, worse after hot and cold exposure of larynx or after eating sour things that cause affections in the throat. Pain in throat, chest and pit of stomach while coughing. Mc George mcgx The redness of the cheeks is not circumscribed as in Phos. or Sang., and may extend over the whole face, scalp and neck. I have never used this remedy lower than the thirtieth potency in pulmonic cases, and have made many hearts glad by the prompt relief it has given.
