Hydrophobia(Rabies)
There is no set treatment for hydrophobia in homoeopathy.The patient should be rushed to the hospital.
The developed disease requires first of all "the removal of every cause of excitement";the separation of the patient from everything calculated to disturb or render him anxious;the maintenance of the utmost quiet;the employment of a friendly tone of address(in place of coercive measures);And the endeavour to calm the sufferer by kind treatment.
The following medicines can be tried till patient is hospitalised.
