Reason for useGuernsey

This remedy is one of the most important in the Materia Medica, and is not so well known as it should be; it is largely characterized by intolerance of milk . (See Stomach.) The mental symptoms peculiar to children, and frequently to adults, are great anguish and crying; restlessness, followed by pains in head and abdomen. As the disease progresses, the patient becomes more and more retired in his disposition, and more inclined to weep. In the delirium of adults, it is fancied that cats and dogs are seen. There is a disposition to jump out of bed: if they are out of bed, will try to jump out of the window: or if they are in bed, will jump out and start for the window. Patient will lie stretched out in an unconscious state; we often see children in this condition.
