Great advice for students. Very generous of you.
The concomitant symptom appears to be unrelated, but in reality it is associated with the main symptom. The MS plays a causal and modifying role in the CS, and sometimes the CS alternates with the MS. Concomitant symptoms (sometimes crossed with modalities) are considered in the repertoire thanks to Boenninghausen.
So when you consult these symptoms you do it thinking about these characteristics that modify the expression of a symptom that seems to be remote or isolated from the specific pathology.
A respiratory symptom (or a group of symptoms)* that concurs with an offensive odor menstruation indicates Bryonia; or the visual disturbances that appear with chills to Nux-v and Bell.
*"Chest pain or tightness when you breathe and cough"
But as mentioned before, many data are not available to us.

From the study in the writings of Hahnemann, it is pertinent to point out that treatment of individual persons during an epidemic, can be different from finding a prophylactic for a disease. The aim of the prophylactic is to imbue the body with the known GENERIC SYMPTOM production of the disease to not allow the real disease to take root. The infection will not take place where the 'disease symptoms' already exist. If you treat individually, the patients will require personalised homoeopathic treatment because they already have contaged the infection, and the remedies will be different according to their individual requires. But a prophylactic prevents the requirement of treating as the individuals do not contage the disease. Remember this as you look through the SX to select. In coincidence with (and without ignoring) what Professor Gary kindly mentions, I would like to share with you how Boenninghausen ponders the concomitant symptoms during an epidemic outbreak. Preface of the TPB "The greatest difficulty to be encountered by those novices in homoeopathy, who do not have recourse to a repertory, is the cure of maladies that shew themselves by a few symptoms which answer to a great number of medicaments. For instance, a malignant whooping-cough was prevalent amongst the children in this neighborhood. In its origin, the indications for the employment of “drosera" were only exceptional, and none of those were developed which call for the other remedies ordinarily employed. However, in all the children affected, swelling and puffiness was remarked, not so much in the face as above the eyes, between the eyelids and eyebrows, where it frequently formed a thick little bag,—a symptom which had never been observed amongst those of any other medicament, except " kali-carb" (219)*; and, in fact, this medicament was the only one that at the commencement of the epidemy effected a quick and lasting cure. It was only in the last stage that this malady took another form, characterized by cold perspiration on the forehead, and vomitings during the fit, symptoms which require the use of "veratr. alb." * Guillermo's Note: The symptom Boenninghausen refers to is found in "Chronic Diseases" (CD) by Samuel Hahnemann, and reads as follows: CD, Kali-C, Symptom 219: “- Swelling between the eyebrows and lids, like a little sac.” See P&W TPB CODE ID: 190 In this case, anyone would think that there is a possibility that a symptom in a given case has not been described in the pathology books due to the individualized way in which each patient reacts, or that a symptom that is well described in the pathology is not find in that patient. However, it will always be very positive for a professional to be aware of the pathology so that he knows what, how and when to expect from a particular case of illness. The same will be positive to be alert in order to detect a symptom that has not been reported in the pathology through the standardization of general concomitance criteria. The curious thing here is that the Kali-c symptom can be found in pathology books, although not as such, some adenovirus infections are described, which can produce a cough similar to that of whooping-cough, which they can also infect the mucosa of the eyelids. It is also known that pertussis itself produces bloated, edematous face and swollen eyelids.

In lesser writing “Some Kinds of Continued and Remittent Fevers” [31], published in 1798 in Hufelands Journal der practischen Arzneykunde, Hahnemann describes the use of Ignatia amara in the treatment of a continual and sporadic fever affecting children in January 1797, presenting the following characteristic symptoms: instead of heat on the skin, continual chills and great lassitude; the forehead is covered by cold perspiration; weakness of memory; excessively short and spasmodic breath. Two months later, a similar fever once again affected children but presented different characteristic symptoms: immobility of the pupils; pressing pain around the navel; stupor; decrease of strength; relief by perspiration, etc. This time the healing remedy was Opium. And still the next month, Camphora was the remedy used in an epidemic of influenza, which aggravated by the use of Opium due to a different set of peculiar symptoms. With these examples, Hahnemann highlights the importance of individualizing medicines according to the characteristic symptoms of each similar epidemic (or epidemic stage).

Numerous 'confirmed cases' (RT-PCR test) are often symptom-free. It is said that Coronavirus have a undetermined incubation period from a few days to a few weeks, without any symptoms, and can relapse after 'cure'. How do we explain this phenomenon? Any contradiction to Hahnemann's aphorisms 12-14? Inadequate attention to the smallest signs and symptoms?
§ 12 Sixth Edition
It is the morbidly affected vital energy alone that produces disease1, so that the morbid phenomena perceptible to our senses express at the same time all the internal change, that is to say, the whole morbid derangement of the internal dynamis; in a word, they reveal the whole disease; consequently, also, the disappearance under treatment of all the morbid phenomena and of all the morbid alterations that differ from the healthy vital operations, certainly affects and necessarily implies the restoration of the integrity of the vital force and, therefore, the recovered health of the whole organism.
1 How the vital force causes the organism to display morbid phenomena, that is, how it produces disease, it would be of no practical utility to the physician to know, and will forever remain concealed from him; only what it is necessary for him to know of the disease and what is fully sufficient for enabling him to cure it, has the Lord of life revealed to his senses
§ 13
Therefore disease (that does not come within the province of manual surgery) considered, as it is by the allopathists, as a thing separate from the living whole, from the organism and its animating vital force, and hidden in the interior, be it ever so subtle a character, is an absurdity, that could only be imagined by minds of a materialistic stamp, and has for thousands of years given to the prevailing system of medicine all those pernicious impulses that have made it a truly mischievous (non-healing) art.

Having the Coronavirus does not mean you are sick.

Hi Martin Looking carefully through your patients, both Guillermo and I noted that the patient "Nelson" was referenced 2 times for the toothache. So it is only one patient in total that had this SX

There is a distinctive symptom in pneumonia which is cough which is purulent in nature inside the lungs. I don't know if this symptom is observed in covid19 and whether we can take expectoration, purulent in to consideration while repertorisation

We can only consider SX which are reported.... If you have seen cases with this SX then we can decide whether to use or not.
