HOMEOPATHY FOR COUGHS
AND COLDS
For any person living in a city, 3-4 bouts
of cough & cold in a year each lasting about 4-5 days is a very normal
phenomenon. But we often see some people, especially small children,
suffering 1-2 bouts each month which can be very discomforting. This could
be due to lowered resistance to infection. In a bid for quick recovey,
doctors often prescribe antibiotics & sometimes also steroids. Antibiotics
are not required in the first place, because more often than not, these
are viral infections & antibiotics are not meant for viral infections
& steroids are very harmful drugs although thay may provide instant
relief. Repeated intake of steroids & antibiotics further decreases
the resistance leading to more frequent attacks & a vicious cycle
begins. For such patients, a 4-6 months course of homeopathic treatment
leads to a permanent cure of the problem.
commonly used homeopathic medicines / remedies for cough& cold
/ bronchitis are: Kali mur, Natum sulph, Kali sulph, Kali bich, Natrum
Mur etc.
