Tincture of Iodine in Dysentery and Diarrhœa
نویسنده
چکیده
To the Editor, Indian Medical Gazette. Sir,?I have tried tincture of iodine in dysentery and diarrhoea in more than 100 cases and found that excepting a few cases all of them were cured by tincture of iodine administered in ten drops doses three times a day. In order to avoid burning in the throat due to tincture of iodine, I used to add a drachm of glycerin per dose. I had noted that though some bad cases did not show improvement in 24 hours, still they decidedly showed marked improvement in 48 hours. I also tried tincture of iodine in malaria and acute gonorrhoea but I was disappointed with the results in these cases though some cases of malaria did improve. I have found that about 4 injections of the following solution are very useful in curing gonorrhceal epididymitis without any external application or internal medicine.
