RESPIRATORY DISORDERS

Respiratory Disorder

Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (URTI), Asthamatic Bronchitis, brochiocstatis, pneumonia, whooping cough, tuberculosis, Recurrent Respiratory infection.

Respiratory system starts from nose, throat, lungs consider to be a one the main vital system in our body. We exchange “Pranvayu”– oxygen and carbon dioxide through this system without which we can’t survive even for minutes. It is also one of the most exposed system, as we breath out and breath in at every second without rest from womb to tomb. Gas transfer occurs continuously with the outside environment with the help of respiratory system.

Many allergic problems like allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, allergic cough tends to produce because of hyper response of our immune system.

Even recurrent respiratory infections like URTI (upper respiratory tract infection), recurrent cough and cold, tonsilitis, whooping cough, recurrent lung infection, pneumonia, bronchitis, bronchiectasis, tuberculosis occurs due to weaken immune response.

Even fear, anxiety, stress and emotional disturbance tends to produce chocking, breathlessness and high respiration and heart rate.

Homoeopathic medicine, balances our inner systems and P-N-E-I Axis (Psycho-Neuro-Endocrine-Immune Axis) and strengthen our immune system and gives you permanent cure in all such respiratory problems.

Chronic cough and cold

Chronic cough and cold refer to persistent symptoms of coughing and nasal congestion lasting longer than normal. Causes include allergies, infections, or underlying conditions like asthma or GERD. Treatment varies based on the cause and may include medications and lifestyle changes.

Allergic bronchitis

Allergic bronchitis is a condition where the bronchial tubes become inflamed due to an allergic reaction.

  • Causes: Allergens such as pollen, dust mites, mold, pet dander, or pollutants.
  • Symptoms: Persistent cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and mucus production.
  • Diagnosis: Based on symptoms, medical history, and sometimes allergy testing.

Rhinitis

Rhinitis is inflammation of the nasal lining, causing symptoms like a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, and itching.

Types:

    • Allergic Rhinitis: Triggered by allergens such as pollen, dust mites, or pet dander.
    • Non-Allergic Rhinitis: Caused by irritants like smoke, pollution, strong odors, or changes in weather.
  • Symptoms: Runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, itching in the nose or throat, and sometimes watery eyes or postnasal drip.

Asthma

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to difficulty breathing, wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness.

  • Causes: Genetics, environmental factors (like allergens or air pollution), respiratory infections, and certain medications.
  • Symptoms: Shortness of breath, wheezing (a whistling sound when breathing), coughing (especially at night or early morning), and chest tightness.
  • Triggers: Allergens (pollen, pet dander), irritants (smoke, strong odors), respiratory infections, exercise, cold air, and stress.
  • Diagnosis: Based on symptoms, lung function tests (spirometry), and sometimes allergy testing.

Tinnitus

Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the ears or head without an external source. It’s often described as ringing, buzzing, hissing, or roaring.

  • Causes: Exposure to loud noise, age-related hearing loss, earwax buildup, ear infections, certain medications, and underlying health conditions like hypertension or Meniere’s disease.
  • Symptoms: Persistent noise in one or both ears, which may be intermittent or continuous.
  • Impact: Can be bothersome and affect sleep, concentration, and quality of life.
  • Diagnosis: Based on symptoms and medical history, often requires hearing tests and sometimes imaging studies.

Nasal polyps

 

Nasal polyps are non-cancerous growths that develop on the lining of the nasal passages or sinuses.

  • Causes: Chronic inflammation, allergies, asthma, or recurring sinus infections.
  • Symptoms: Nasal congestion, runny nose, reduced sense of smell, facial pain or pressure.
  • Diagnosis: Based on symptoms, nasal examination, and sometimes imaging (CT scan).

Throat infections

Throat infections, also known as pharyngitis, refer to inflammation of the throat and surrounding tissues.

  • Causes: Viral infections (like cold or flu), bacterial infections (like strep throat), or other irritants.
  • Symptoms: Sore throat, difficulty swallowing, swollen glands (lymph nodes), fever, and sometimes coughing or hoarseness.
  • Diagnosis: Based on symptoms, physical examination, and sometimes throat swab tests.
  • Prevention: Hand hygiene, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Most throat infections are viral and resolve on their own with home care. Bacterial infections may require antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare provider. Prompt medical attention is crucial for severe symptoms or persistent infections.
