The irritation can go down into the throat and there can be a sensation of a lump in the throat. There is often accompanying listlessness and giddiness and, in extreme cases, the skin feels dry and hot and itchy eruptions may appear. Eyes burn and smart and become light sensitive. There is a lot of watery, burning, discharge from the nose with a lot of sneezing. Tickling in the back of the throat with a hacking cough on breathing in cold air indicates this remedy.
Symptoms are better in the open air and worse in a warm room.
They can also be worse towards evening. Sneezing is accompanied by a thick, acrid, discharge that smarts and burns. The eyes itch and burn. The chest feels heavy and breathing can be difficult. A strange symptom is that the nostrils can be alternately stopped up and feel dry.
