Few tips from different stalwarts:

1. Never use phosphorus in repetition. (I know that most of us are single dose practioneer but this is for who loves to repeat.) Try to give ample time to cease the action of the initial dose.

2. Phosphorus is a fast acting remedy thus is very useful in fast moving diseases and in syphilitic disease, whenever constitution permits.

3. Causticum is inimical to Phosphorus and thus avoid one after other.

4. During fever thirst is low but unnatural hunger.

As a polycrest remedy it has its action on almost all parts and systems of body.
