Thanks for posting the case but the symptoms selected are too many.I hope in near future you will post the cases with minimum number of symptoms ,that will be highly appreciated and will be definitely helpful for practising homeopaths.

Best regards.

Sir, thanks. But the particulars were the only key in this case.

Dear Dr Rajneesh. Thank you so much for sharing this case study. For the untrained eye who may not recognize the dramatic changes, we may explain further. In the first photograph this man's eye appears almost shut, squinting. Under the eye we see a darkened swollen area. Is the polyp within the nasal cavity which has enlarged blocking breathing?

In the second photo, we can see now the man's eye fully opened. And, I assume he can breath more freely.

The most unusual aspect is the shape of his head, with a large overbite. Can it be from childhood he was a 'mouth' breather and always had difficulty with the nose?

Thanks a lot Debby for explaining all these on my behalf. His abnormal shape is not congenital. That all is due to his huge polyp. I am not having his CT scan this time, I shall arrange that to share here in future.

Regards.

This polyp can deform a face in this way, I am learning from you. And, thus, we can expect for the face to reduce in size all the swelling of the nose and cheeks. Looking forward to more.

Excellent case, but your medicine can be select only on three rubrics, of course the general symptoms always form solid base for the selection of medicine.
