Mr. S. K., a 35 years old male came to us with the complaints of:
1. Warts on the scalp since 2 months. There are 2 large, pedunculated warts, one on the vertex and another on the occiput.
2.Suffocated feeling since 2 weeks. He feels the need to take a deep breath, with whistling sounds on breathing. These symptoms started after he got wet in the rains.
The chest complaints are worse on getting wet, and inhaling smoke. They are relieved by drinking hot tea, hot fomentation to the chest and taking allopathic (conventional) medicines. He also had a tendency to sinusitis since the past 5-6 years. Each time it rains or he gets wet, he develops a nose block, hoarseness of voice and pain in the frontal sinuses. The previous illnesses that he had suffered from were malaria (twice) and surgery on the frontal sinus
