Acidum nitricum adults react quickly with irritation. They are resentful, hateful and desperate. There is hypersensitivity to sound, touch, and pain.
Acidum nitricum children are argumentative, anxious and easily unsettled. They often disagree and then do the opposite of what is expected of them. In older children, a lack of self-confidence becomes evident. When there are contradictions or accusations, the children cry very quickly.
