Erysipelas, is Belladonna good for it?
Expert ReplyCondition analysis:
This is a kind of bacterial caused infection which is very rare. It normally only affects the legs or the face. It’s a variant of cellulitis which is another skin disease. But, cellulitis may develop on any location on the body and may be infected by many different bacteria, where erysipelas is normally just caused by streptococcus pyogenes as well as merely developing in the locations that have already been mentioned.
Instructions:
Belladonna
Belladonna is perhaps more frequently indicated in commencing erysipelas than any other remedy and it is often specific. True, Aconite should rather be the remedy,but the Aconite stage is passed when the physician is called, for this remedy corresponds only to the marked febrile symptoms of asthenic cases. The erysipelas corresponding to Belladonna is of the smooth variety; the skin is shining and tense and dark red or bright red, the swelling is rapid and there are sharp, lancinating pains or throbbing in the parts. Accompanying this condition there is throbbing headache, fever perhaps delirium, swollen glands and tenseness of the parts. It may occur on the scalp, face, or, in fact, anywhere, and there is great heat of the parts. Atropine 3 is recommended by Kafka if Belladonna fails in this condition. Stramonium. Adynamia with brain symptoms.
