In cases of acute illnesses such as colds, coughs, hay fever, earache, toothache, influenza, conjunctivitis, ‘tummy bugs’ etc I will probably ask you to contact me on a daily basis so that I can monitor your progress. In acute illnesses there are various stages of healing that your body will go through. Some stages may require different medicines from others. Remember Homeopathic treatment doesn’t suppress illnesses, it helps your body heal itself. So you will probably experience all the stages of the illness you would have experienced without treatment but the aim of Homeopathic treatment will be to help you through each stage quickly and to restore your normal vigour.
