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.
