• Constant heat on top of head with heaviness and fullness.
• Morning diarrhoea, painless, drives out of the bed with itching and burning of anus.
• Frequent micturition, especially at night in scrofulous, untidy children.
• Difficult respiration, wants windows open with much rattling of mucus. Pulse more rapid in morning than in evening.
• Hot, sweaty hands. Burning in soles and hands at night.
• Skin is dry, scaly, unhealthy; every little injury suppurates. Itching and burning, worse scratching and washing.
• Worse, at rest, when standing, warmth in bed, washing, bathing, in morning, 11 am, night, from alcoholic stimulants, periodically.
• Better, dry, warm weather, lying on right side, from drawing up affected limbs.
