Ant-Tart is one of the best remedies for a rattling chesty cough that comes with copious amounts of mucus that cannot be brought up and out.
Ant-Tart Single Remedy
Those who could benefit from Ant-Tart are those who often whine and moan and are extremely irritable. They want to be left alone and not looked at, yet they don’t want to be alone and are often clingy.
Ant-Tart is usually seen with very few other symptoms such as fever and chills. It is therefore often given after other remedies, like Ipecac and Byrine, where those symptoms are present. For example, Ipecac is for rattling in the first few days of sickness, whereas ant-tart is for use when the cough becomes rattling after a few days of illness. The rattling cough may come with suffocative shortness of breath.
Ant-Tart is also used for kids with recurrent bouts of bronchitis and recurrent coughs that tend to linger for months.
