Felon - WhitlowCategory: DISEASES OF FEMALES Source: An Epitome Of Homeopathic Healing Art For this disease, in the early stage, when the sensation is that of sharp, sticking pain, feeling as though a brier or thistle was in the finger, immerse the part in water as hot as possible, into which put common salt as long as it will dissolve; hold it in this _hot_ salt bath for an hour or more at a time, and when removed, apply finely pulverized salt, wet in _Spirits of Turpentine_; bind on the salt with several thicknesses, and keep it constantly wet with the sp'ts turpt. for twenty-four hours, when, if all symptoms of felon are gone, no further treatment is necessary. As a general rule, the hot bath should be repeated three times a day, especially if the symptoms have existed for several days and there is much pain or swelling, and the dressings should be kept on as above directed for several days, more or less, until all symptoms disappear. I am quite confident that a large majority, if not all, of the cases if thus treated at any time before pus is formed, will be discussed and cured. If pus has begun to form before the treatment is commenced, this will not _cure_ the felon, but it is good treatment, especially the hot bath, as it will greatly lessen the pain. By holding it in hot water for an hour or two each day, the suppurative process will be hastened, and as soon as the pus can be felt at any point, fluctuating, puncture and let it out; then continue the hot bath, with _Calendula_ (_Marygold_) flowers in the water, keeping the part all the time warm and moist. For the restless and nervous irritability that frequently occurs, especially in females, _Aconite is the best remedy_. It should be given, one drop of the tincture to a gill of water, in teaspoonful doses, once in one or two hours, and the same applied to the sore.
