Thanks Dr. Leela, I haven't seen any typical aggrevations to sulph so I have been carrying on. I was taught to make up an LM and divide into 7 doses to be given daily unless dramatic improvement is noted or severe agrevations are caused (depending on severity, adjusting the dose is likely to settle to enable one to continue). I have no plans to go straight to another remedy after the last dose of sulph, rather wait to see what happens. Right now the discharge is hardening (although still the same amount), there is no obvious inflamation or pain to the ear (never was) so I'm not that concerned (as I am with the dog). Perhaps I'm thinking ahead too much, but I finally had some time to work on these cases this last weekend. If sulph dramatically changes the situation, I guess I did the work for no other reason than practice, which is OK too.
