Homoeopathic Medicines in Upper Respiratory Tract Infections
Since old and ancient ages, we see that quite a few numbers of
infections were prevalent among the common mass. In the old scripts
and religious books, we find the use of herbal medicines like juice of
Basaka leaf for the remedy of cough. The eminent ancient Indian
physician Charaka also has described many upper respiratory tract
symptoms like cough, common cold, nasal discharge, sputum and many
more. He has also mentioned the useful herbal therapy for these
problems in his famous book 'The Charaka Samhita.' Not only him, have
quite a number of his eminent successors also worked on this common
health problem of the society.
With the advancement of medical science every day or other, new
and much more complicated diseases are identified. Obviously the
doctors and the medical researchers with their full efforts are inventing
new techniques for managing those diseases. Homoeopathic therapeutic
management rightly claims for tackling quite a large number of such
complicated cases.
Upper respiratory infection are one of the most frequent causes of
doctors' visits with varying symptoms ranging from running nose, sore
throat, cough, to breathing difficulty, and lethargy. In the United States,
upper respiratory infections are the most common illness leading to
missing school or work.
Although upper respiratory infections can happen at any time,
they are most common in the fall and winter months form September
until March. This may be explained because these are the usual school
months when children and adolescents spend a lot of time in groups and
inside closed doors. Furthermore, many virtues of upper respiratory
infection thrive in the low humidity of the winter.
Majority of upper respiratory infections are due to self-limited viral
infections of the upper respiratory tract. Occasionally, bacterial -
infections may cause upper respiratory infections. Most often, upper
respiratory infection is contagious and can spread from person to person
by inhaling respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing. The
transmission can also occur by touching the nose or mouth by hand or
other object exposed to the virus.
