There can be a general hot feeling and an aggravation of symptoms from becoming heated. The nose and eyes can become inflamed with heat and burning sensations. There can be oversensitivity to odours or changes in temperature. Classically this type of rhinitis can be accompanied by skin rash or by itching anywhere on the body. The throat can become swollen and the patient can be far more hungry than usual.
Symptoms are worse for bathing, in the late morning, and better for motion or fresh air.
Like Nux vomica , sulphur can be useful following where symptoms have become 'suppressed' from conventional symptomatic treatment. For example, somebody who previously suffered from a profuse runny nose and after using a steroid nasal spray, has developed thick, obstructive catarrh and sinusitis. Mentally, the person who requires sulphur may feel very tired or apathetic with impaired concentration or thinking. If after the first dose of a remedy symptoms improve, it is advisable to leave it at that and take no further doses until symptoms relapse. If, however, you find that after a couple of doses of your chosen remedy, symptoms still have not altered, it is worth re-thinking your choice or preferably visiting a homeopath.
