A 7-year-old boy visited Life Force Homeopathy for the treatment of his complaint of chronic and recurrent cough. He was suffering from it since 4 years. His physician had diagnosed his condition as hyperactive airway disease as it was suspected that he is having asthma but it was not confirmed yet.
The child was suffering from frequent episodes of coughing leading to vomiting. He was getting episodes every month and each episode used to last for 8 to 10 days. During episodes, the child was experiencing a lot of congestion in the chest and wheezing. Also, he was unable to breathe sometimes. He required antibiotics and inhalers every time during the episodes. His parents were very anxious as the frequent use of inhalers was overall decreasing the child’s immunity. He was becoming very weak and underweight. They started treatment with us on 30th September 2017.
Physical Generals:
The child’s appetite was reduced. He was a very fussy eater and used to eat more packed and junked food than anything else. His thirst for water was very less. The patient’s sleep was sound and refreshing.
Psychological and Family Make-Up:
He was studying in the school in the second standard. His father was working in a telecom company, and his mother was a housewife. He was a very mild and reserved child. Often, he required time to get along with strangers.
Self and Family’s Medical History:
His father suffered from asthma, and his mother had an underactive thyroid. There were no other major illnesses noticed in his medical history.
At Life Force:
After studying the case in detail, Dr. Shah prescribed his research-based homeopathic medicines to the patient.
Follow-Ups:
On 8th November 2017, the patient’s mother updated that he is gradually improving with the medicines. There were episodes of cough but the intensity was less than before. Congestion and wheezing had reduced than before. His inhaler dose was reduced. Antibiotics were not required during the episode. The patient was overall recovering with medicines.
On 22nd November 2018, the patient’s parents reported that there was further improvement in the child’s relief with the homeopathic medicines. The frequency of episodes was reduced to once in 2-3 months. The duration of episodes was also less. He was given an inhaler only for 2-3 days during the episode. Congestion was there during the episode but wheezing was not present. His appetite increased, and the child started putting on weight gradually.
On 21st December 2019, the patient’s mother informed us that he was a lot better with the medicines. No episodes of cough had affected him in the last 6-8 months. Initially, he used to get a cough after every change of the weather, but, now from the last 6-8 months, no episodes affected him. He was completely off all the allopathic medicines, and he was following only homeopathic treatment.
On 20th May 2021, the patient’s mother reported that he was perfectly fine. He had no complaint of cough from the last more than 1 year. The child was absolutely fine. He had gained normal weight like other kids and his overall immunity was improved with homeopathy.
His parents thanked Dr. Shah and the whole Life Force team for treating their child and improving his health. Dr. Shah told him to stop the treatment as he was perfectly fine now.
Conclusion:
This case illustrates that homeopathy can promote recovery from asthmatic bronchitis in children successfully and safely without any side effects. Also, homeopathy helps eliminate the dependency on inhalers, boosts immunity, and restores respiratory and overall health.
