Differentiation between IRRITABILITY in Chamomilla v Nux Vomica

A

Chamomilla is often associated with irritability in children, particularly during teething or when they are sick. These children may be very irritable, cry easily, and demand constant attention. They may also be sensitive to pain and may only be comforted by being carried.

Nux Vomica, on the other hand, is often associated with irritability in adults. People who may benefit from this remedy may be easily angered, impatient, and have a desire for control. They may also have physical symptoms such as digestive issues, headaches, and insomnia.
