Conclusion:

              By case taking and analysis we get the totality of symptoms .After repertorizing symptom. we get the similimum remedy .so through which get the result. After giving similimum mild aggravation is there in this type of situation physician should know about the Kent’s observation which help to get cure in case. We have a follow up of 3 month through which we can know about reoccurrence but, when you are giving similimum it is enough for the permanent cure until and unless any exciting factor inhibits the disease but not to this much 0of level again it will happen. It will be acute phase which will easily get cued by refreshing case. There is no any constitutional remedy because every time patient is getting affected by the different factor so every time you should have to analysis the case and give medicine according to that totality   don’t rely on previously given remedy.
