Mercurius solubilis
Is frequently an excellent medicine to follow Nux Vomica, or is useful in cases of general severe cold, with much chilliness, sneezing, and running from the nose.
Dose. -Two grains repeated as Chamomilla.
Nux vomica
Is a prominent remedy to commence with, especially if there is a stuffed feeling in the head, or dry, rough, fatiguing cough.

Phosphorus
Is a valuable medicine in violent catarrhs, with great hoarseness, or with cough and dryness in the throat, or soreness in the chest.

Sulphur
I frequently required in catarrhal hoarseness after Mercurius Sol. and is especially useful in cases resulting from cold, damp weather.
