Lactic Acid is useful in the treatment of morning sickness, perhaps due to
pregnancy or diabetes. The nausea gets better on eating something. There is a
feeling of tightness at the lower end of the food pipe (oesophagus), as if a
ball is stuck there, which the patient tries to swallow downwards. Lactic Acid
is also useful in women who happen to be anaemic
and whose faces look pale. It is also effective in the treatment of
chest problems.
Lactic Acid may also be of good use in the treatment of enlarged glands in the
axilla. Silicea is equally good. Silicea, in high potency makes the
glands soften and melt inside. If the glands are about to burst open, then
Silicea or Hepar Sulph should be administered in a low potency.
In some Lactic Acid patients, the body becomes tremulous.
Urination is not only frequent, but also in large quantity. Shoulders, wrist
and knee joints hurt. The Patient feels extremely weak and cold. The tongue is
dry. The patient feels very thirsty and hungry. Saliva pours from the mouth. In
spite of drinking water, the thirst is not quenched.
