Common symptoms
It is valuable in chronic chest diseases, characterised by plastic tissue changes, and persistent inclination to cough; excited by tickling, dry spot in the throat, (apparently at the root of the tongue), beginning with a weak sounding cough with short breath, soon gathers strength and sound and causes raising of free, copious, pale yellowish expectoration which at first relieves but is soon followed by a feeling of dryness, weakness in chest and throat, and increased oppression. It is indicated in cases that hang fire and need an alternative. Use low potency- 2x or 3x.
