Introduction:
A fever is difficult to treat for homoeopathy physician. Many physicians not take cases of fever, cause of failure. Our master gave an idea about how to treat a fever, not even they gave a book to treat a different type of fever condition. Dr. Hahnemann gave instructions about fever in organon of medicine, in our Materia Medica almost all remedies given fever part but still when we face a fever case, we are not going to take this as an opportunity. Here I am sharing a case of intermittent fever treated with Lm potency.

Prescription:
China officinalis LM/5 three times for 2 days. (According to instruction given by Dr. Hahnemann in 6th edition organon of medicine (afforism:248 with footnote)).
Follow up:
On the second day at night his father called me and told me that, “he is again suffering fever now what?” I tell him to stop the medicine and give me a follow up the next morning. The next day the patient gave me a follow up: “no fever, no weakness and no other complaints now I am feeling better.” After 7 days again I took follow-up but there were no complaints and the patient was absolutely well.
Conclusion:
Here I select a medicine according to totality and give based on Materia Medica with help of Organon of medicine. On second day patient again suffer a fever, according to his father after a taken homoeopathic medicine there was no complaints then why second day patient complaints relapse? Is it a disease aggravation or medicine aggravation? In this case it’s aggravation of medicine: Aphorism-160
When i place the so-called homeopathic aggravation (i.e., the initial action of the homeopathic medicine which appears to somewhat heighten the symptoms of the original disease) within the first hour or the first few hours, this is thus certainly the case with the more acute, recently arisen maladies however, when medicines of longer duration of action have to combat an old or very old wasting sick- ness, no such apparent heightening of the original disease should show themselves during the course of treatment; and they will not how themselves if the aptly selected medicine is administered in properly small, only gradually heightened doses which become somewhat modified every time by new dynamization ($247). Such heightenings of the original symptoms of the chronic disease can then only come to light at the end of such treatments when the cure is almost or entirely completed.
