Phosphorus, one of our greatest chest remedies, is very frequently needed to simplify and clear up a case of pneumonia. It is especially useful in the hepatization stage. When Phosphorus is indicated there is a great deal of pain in the chest, weakness, constriction, tightness, a tight cough ; and the cough is worse from lying on the lift side. The patient holds the chest with his hands during the cough as in Bryonia.
