Clinical :- ►
It has
been used for a great variety of diseases of the nose, but a general
characteristic is the peculiarly tough, adherent secretions ; these
may exist in subacute or chronic inflammation of the mucous membrane or
three may be ulceration, but the ulcers are usually round and deep and
do not spread laterally ; (the ulcers of Merc.
are extensive and superficial). ► The sensations in the nose are
usually those of obstruction and swelling, especially pressure at the
root, sometimes with violent pain extending into the cheek-bones or
around the eyes. ► In a few cases it has cured catarrh with watery
excoriating discharge, but in these causes there were generally adherent
scabs in the nose covering ulcerated spots. ► The formation of
“clinkers” in nose, the detachment of which leaves very sore
places or ulcers, is a strongly-marked characteristic of the drug.
