Kent's cases 49: Ulcerated throat. Magnesia carbonica

Lady, thirty-four years old, mother of two
children.
Face marks much sickness, though flushed. Letter
states:
"I have always been troubled most with left side
of my throat, but at present it is the right. A small lump will come and then
enlarge until it reaches the tonsil. Then ulcers will come and fill both sides.
The roof becomes very red, and there is dryness and choking. Dry choking
compd. coughing; difficult swallowing."

I further learned that this sore throat with
ulceration has been coming just before menstruating for several years.
It commences on one side and goes to the other.
There has always been great swelling of the outside, sometimes the whole
neck. The ulcers do not disappear until after the flow ceases; then a gradual
subsiding; scarcely more than ten days of freedom from suffering.
Leucorrhoeal discharge, white mucus before
menses.
She got Mag-carb. 45m, one dose, at the close of
menstrual nisus.
She has never had a recurrence of the trouble nor
any sickness in its place. She has remained free from throat trouble now
over two years.
