As the child’s fever as well as his toxicity was increasing, I thought to re-evaluate & investigate the case for any severe lung pathlogy, probably pneumonitis.
I advised him to do CBC , ESR, X-RAY CHEST(PA view)

On seeing the reports , his H b% was 10.2, ESR….92, & X-ray reports showed Right paracardiac Pneumonitis.(most likely Primary complex….of tubercular origin)

His mantoux test also was strongly positive > 20 mm.

Child during this phase was very Restless, obstinate, wanted to out of the clinic, Desires travel. Wanted change of position constantly. Abusive. Disposition to contradict.

Rubrics considered :

1. Restless
Obstinate
2. Desires travel
3. Desires change
4. Abusive
5. Disposition to contradict
6. Hot patient.
7. Precocious child

Patient at this moment was prescribed TUB.30. 1 dose.
As soon as the child was given the dose, his fever came under control. He calmed down quiet a bit. Coughing was very much better. His appetite for the first time in 3 months improved. He started asking for food.
His ESR improved from 92 to 63 in just 2 days. Haemoglobin increased from 10.2 gm% to 11.5 gm%.

Conclusion :
In this case It shows that in case of a severe lung disease like Tuberculosis, Homoeopathic medicines works rapidly and curatively in the shortest possible time which otherwise would have taken atleast 9 months under conventional allopathic treatment.
