The family for the C+ condition in the mucous membrane is fever
family, while the N.C.R. condition is in the degenerations family.
The products of the degeneration may produce symptoms in the poison
family.
Adjustment
The major adjustment for acute nasal catarrh is M.C.P. and K.P.
Conditions of this kind are sometimes aggravated by the care which
the child receives at the hands of a careless mother. She may keep
the child too warm or not warm enough. Often a child is dressed so
warmly that the least exertion will cause profuse perspiration.
Then the child “takes cold” because of the inability of Innate
Intelligence to bring about an intellectual adaptation in so short a
time. An infant may be and should be kept very warm, but as the child
grows older he should be allowed sufficient freedom, especially in
the summer time, to permit of exercise and yet not become too warm.
The hygienic measures to be used are attention to the sleeping rooms,
which should be properly ventilated, always having plenty of air at
night, and the house temperature during the day. This should be from
65°F to 68°F.
FOREIGN BODIES LODGED IN THE NOSE
Children often in their play will place such foreign bodies as peas,
beans, buttons, beads and other small objects in their noses. These
set up a mechanical irritation and produce swelling of the mucous
membrane and often pain. If the object remains for any length of
time there is likely to be a profuse discharge of a mucopurulent
character. If there is such a discharge from only one, nostril
special attention should be given to determine the presence of any
foreign body and if there be one the child should be taken to a
surgeon at once. If the discharge continues following the removal it
will be due to a subluxation at M.C.P., which is interfering with
the transmission of mental impulses preventing normal adaptation and
reparation taking place. This should be adjusted. However, if there
are no subluxations the injury which was done by the mechanical
obstruction will be repaired in a short time.
CHRONIC NASAL CATARRH
Chronic nasal catarrh, also called chronic rhinitis, is a chronic
inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the nasal passages and
pharynx. There may be structural changes take place resulting in
injury to the organs of smell, taste, hearing, speech and respiration.
