7 If the patient develops a sore throat due to the cold, the following remedies should be used: Baryta Carb + Gelsemium (if there is no thirst, the mouth is dry and the head feels heavy) Arnica + Aconite + Causticum + Belladonna from potency 30 to 1000 for any kind of throat condition that is associated with congestion, swelling and pain in the throat. Sometimes, this combination in potency 1000 works extraordinarily fast. Two doses, 30 minutes apart are often enough. Baryta Carb + Belladonna + Causticum for Rhinitis and sore throats. Sometimes, Causticum may need to be replaced by Kali Mur, according to the specific symptoms. If the sore throat is associated with a watery discharge from the mouth and there is an offensive smell, then one should try to find a remedy in Mercury compounds.
