My friend had a bike accident 8 months ago and got a brain injury with a blood clot. Even though the clot got better, he still has memory and behavior problems and is on medication. Now he's been diagnosed with a fistula and needs surgery. Is it safe to try homeopathy for the fistula while he's still taking his brain injury meds?

Homeopathy is not recommended for fistulas with history of trauma‚Äîbest to go with surgical correction after neuro clearance.
