One dose Tuberculinum M. if you have used sulphur the last year, if not one dose sulphur x12 first, then tub some hours later.

I had flu also, but not such high fever. for the dry cough i took Nat Mur,l2x or 30,for the white coated tongue took 30x of Kal Mur.I take Fer.Phos for fever, but Bel. works well if other things fit. I also use a hot moist steamer(vaporisor) in bedroom when dry cough, never drink anything cold, only warm, honey/lemon mixture for sore throat, salt water gargle, If mucus Yellow I use Kali Sulp 30x. or 200 if you have it just take one dose at nite. If still fever, alternate the Bell or Fer.Phos. with other remedies. I happen to work well with l2 salts, info in Bio Chemic Handbook for $4.00 Keep up the liquids of all kinds,soups of all kinds are great.good luck.

GM: Thank you for the reply. With fear I have ordered the Tub. In my Pharmacy there are 8 Tub remedies. However after referring to Clarke I have ordered Tuberculin Koch. I am waiting for it. Is this correct?
Meanwhile can you kindly look into the updated description marked by ***. Thank you very much.

Dorothy: Thank you for your reply. I read Tub in Clarke and it seems to cover. Though I am scared of taking a 1M.

Yes, its correct.
NO OTHER REMEDIES TAKEN IN!

With fear, do you fear remedies?
You may have a prooving of the other remedies, tub wil take care of that too.
You should get a fever during sleep, ( usually, but you have it already, so perspiration should come after app three houers, if acting slow repeat the dose until perspiration comes) then heavy perspiration, next day it should be gone, allow the fever to reach 41 deg celsius, if need be, not over ( over that is dangerous, deadly , cant take it more than ten minutes), if over,then cool down with a bath,cold.

Tub must be given in a high potency. A lower potency is not sufficient to push the symptoms through. They could get "stuck" and actually make things worse. That is why always use Tuberculinum M or CM.

Two members of my family have taken tub for other ailments this autumn. Curiously, they did not get the flu, while the rest of us did.

GM, mamma3
Never before taken anything more than 30x. Rarely 200. Hence ... Wanted to use the word "trepidation" but changed it to fear.

I am still waiting to get the remedies. I will post on the results.

The temperature I gave was in Fahrenheit, 103 = 39.5 Celsius.

GM
When should I repeat the remedy and how many times? So far, after 5 hours, no unusual reaction.

tub need only be taken once

GM says "if acting slow repeat the dose until perspiration comes".
The only change probably even before taking the Tub is the cough is loosening sometimes.
