Best Single Homeopathic Remedies for Sore throat Symptoms

Mercurius viv -

The Merc viv soar throat sympsoms begin on the right side.  Too hot, too cold but rarely just right. Like the thermometer it has given us, Mercurius cases are very sensitive to temperature changes and often take cold or become discouraged, weary and restless when the weather is too hot, too cold, too cloudy or too damp. That’s just the beginning of this remedy’s instability.

Merc’s many trademark symptoms include smelly discharges, mouth symptoms and a tendency to catch colds or other acute irritations frequently. Mercurius colds have a very sore throat and thick yellow discharges that leave nose, eyes and even ears raw. This leads to sinus congestion, sinus headaches with tearing pains and congestion with bouts of coughing and yellow green mucus.

Kali bich -

The Kali bich sore thoat symptoms are higlighted by red and inflamed throat and swollen glands. Kali bich’s sore, stitching, as if bruised, wandering but ‘in one spot’ pains usually come and go suddenly. chilly individuals who are sensitive to cold (especially on the back of the neck), yet cannot take much summer heat are prime targets for Kali bich symptoms. They tend to avoid mental and physical exertion, are sensitive to allergies, and prefer to live an orderly life completely by the rule book.
