Bilious ColicCategory: ADMINISTRATION OF REMEDIES. Source: An Epitome Of Homeopathic Healing Art This disease, in addition to the symptoms of cutting, cramping pains in the bowels, as in common colic, has great distress in the stomach, with nausea and vomiting, the bowels being costive, the feet and hands cold, sometimes cold sweats occur. There is also considerable fever, and frequently headache is present. The substance vomited is at first dark bilious matter, but if the case continues a long time, stercoraceous (fecal) matter will be thrown up. TREATMENT. _Colocynth_ is the most important remedy, and should be given early and constantly. _Podophyllin_ is next in importance, and it should be given in alternation with the former, the dose to be repeated as often as every half hour at first, and as the patient becomes easy, at longer intervals. In this, as in the former case, great benefit will be derived from large injections of quite warm water, and let it be taken into the stomach freely, as hot as can be safely swallowed. I have given a gallon of hot water in the course of two hours, to a patient suffering under this disease, the first half pint being rejected, but the balance remaining, perfect relief having been experienced. If fever continues after the colic and nausea cease, _Baptisia_ and _Aconite_ should be given alternately every hour until the fever subsides. If the patient is, and has been, for some time, costive, _Nux Vomica_ should be given once in six or eight hours until the bowels move. Injections may also be used.
