These are indicative of a serious unexplained deep illness. Sulphuric Acid is very effective in treating this condition. If other symptoms of Sulphuric Acid are also present, a dose or two of Sulphuric Acid may suffice. A Sulphuric Acid patient becomes easily exhausted mentally and his circulatory system may be disturbed due to the slightest carelessness. Serious blood disturbance may also result. Boils develop on the skin. The patient feels very weak. His facial complexion is not normal. He becomes hypersensitive. The aches and pains intensify gradually and then suddenly get better. Potentially serious and chronic diseases developing due to an excess of Acid Sulph may sometimes abruptly get better without leaving any long lasting ill effects. The discharges of a Sulphuric Acid patient are acidic as well as corrosive in nature. Hyperacidity in the body (acidosis) may be accompanied by a feeling of sudden severe weakness when eating food. The patient sweats profusely. Mere eating food can tire the patient. A lightning type of pain swings from one side to the other. Some patients may actually enjoy this experience, which is a peculiarity of Sulphuric Acid. The headache and body aches intensify gradually and then stop suddenly. Hearing loss progresses slowly and does not return quickly which is rather different from the overall picture of Sulphuric Acid symptoms. Hearing returns in due course of time after the pain, pus and bad odour from the ear have been gone awhile. Sometimes, secretions from the nose can block the ear from the inside and affect the hearing. Other symptoms of Sulphuric Acid being present, this condition is well within the domain of Sulphuric Acid. Toothache goes on gradually getting stronger, and then ends suddenly without leaving any aftereffects. Sores and ulcers form inside the mouth and the throat , causing difficulty in eating. Children may not be able to suck milk. Sulphuric Acid is extremely useful in the treatment of this condition. The stomach begins to fail due to the effects of hyperacidity. The breath is extremely foetid and pungent. Usually, people get constipated on eating acidic things, but the Sulphuric Acid patient develops diarrhoea instead. For example Oysters, (a kind of sea-shell) as well as raw and sour fruit, can cause diarrhoea for which Sulphuric Acid is still the treatment of choice for such patients who have abdominal pain.
