Blatta, the Cockroach

Summary

This is the case of a 6œ-year-old boy with constant nasal obstruction, enlarged tonsils and adenoids, allergies, and asthma. I realized after several prescriptions that he needed an insect, but one I was less familiar with. His overly polite manner with authority juxtaposed with his rude, quarrelsome, intolerance of contradiction at home led me to give Blatta orientalis.

Key words

Asthma - Allergy - Insecta - Blatta orientalis - Cockroach
