Hi Sir,
I think I have consumed (self-medication) an overdose of Baryta Carb 3X. After that, I had reduced hearing and severe respiratory issues (Bronchitis and memory loss). I took Antim Tart 30 as an antidote; however, there was no improvement in the symptoms. Should I go for Magnesia Sulph 3x for an antidote?
