POLYPUS FEVER:

Cause : An irritation in the three temperamental factors of air, bile, and phlegm sometimes sends the the circulation upward to the head. On its descent the unpurified blood may create a fever, sometimes a garlic- like boil on the nose.

Symptoms: Sometimes high and sometimes low temperature, shooting pains in the nose, heavy head, headache, constipation, and body pain.

Treatment: Amritarista is the specific drug. If there is headache, use also Naradiya Mahalakshmibilas and extract of the yellow leaves of the jackfruit tree. Chandramrita Lauha and Chandanadi Lauha are also good for this disease. Chitrak Haritaki is a preventive of it and should be used in all cases of long-standing or frequent ploypus fever. If fever remains after the boil subsides, use Amritarista. Usually fever vanishes when the purulent matter of the polypus boil comes out:

Diet: When temperature is high, bath and rice are not to be allowed.
