Coryza vs catarrah
Hi doctors. Please explain me the difference between coryza and catarrah in homeopathy. Usually it's argued that coryza is limited to nose and catarrah is extended to throat. Sometimes it's also argued that coryza is Acute inflammation but catarrah is chronic inflammation.
However, in repertorization softwares, there is always separate rubric of catarrah of just nose. Stated like Kent: catarrah (nose). So here it is negating it's relationship with throat. kindly help me to understand the actual and accurate difference between the two for precise case taking.

This is a platform to ask medical queries. It is beyond the scope of this platform to teach you fine details of case taking, repertorization etc. There are lectures in final year regarding understanding rubrics. Best wishes.

Coryza is acute. Running nose, more or less watery/thin discharge, and generally resembles a common cold.
Catarrh is chronic. The discharges are more thick, the sinuses too might have got affected, and the problem lingers on for weeks/months. A thin discharge may also be considered as cattarh, if it is long lasting and is present since a few weeks, and there is no let up.
