Parents of an 8-year-old boy brought him to us with a complaint of rashes all over the body since the past two days.

His parents said that his complaints began with cold and cough five days back. He also had high fever which subsided by the end of second day.

After one or two days, the cold subsided but the cough increased. The cough was so severe that the boy was unable to lie down.

His cough was dry and began with a sensation as if there was some dust in the throat. The cough was only better by getting up and sips of water.

Eruptions began since the past two days began from the limbs and then gradually spread over the entire body. The eruptions were maculo-papular in nature. There was much itching and burning in the eruptions.

He was prescribed the Homeopathic remedy Belladonna. His cough reduced within one day of medication. The eruptions started decreasing by the end of third day. He was completely better by the end of 7 days.
