Flu byDr S. Chidambaranathan B.H.M.S, M.D Homeopathy Doctor Madurai (Treatment avail for all people around the world) | |
A few illnesses have their own season. Winter is the season for flu. Every year during this season, millions of people suffer from flu. Also in winter, a major part of absentees of school or work may be victims of flu. Even though it can affect all age groups, children are common victims. As it is more contagious, one after another may fall sick at school/home. Influenza, commonly called flu, is a highly infectious viral infection of the respiratory tract. Many people often confuse flu with common cold – in simple terms, an intensified cold with fever can be called flu. It can cause mild to severe illness and sometimes even prove fatal. Causes and contagiousness Influenza can be caused by different types of influenza virus, i.e., A, B & C. The viruses can be further classified into different serotypes, based on their antibody response. Now the widespread pandemic swine flu (H1N1) is one among them. Even though influenza viruses can attack at any season, they are common and virulent in winter and spring. The spread of infection is usually through aerosols created by coughing and sneezing. Further, it can also spread by shaking hands, kissing, sharing contaminated clothes/objects, touching polluted surfaces, etc. Influenza viruses can be inactivated by heat/sunlight/soaps/disinfectants. As the virus can be inactivated by soap, frequent hand washing is commonly advised to reduce the chances of infection. Symptoms and Duration - of complaints usually differ from patient to patient. Symptoms usually start abruptly with fever overnight after infection. Intensified suffering period can persist up to 3-5 days. But weakness and residual cough can last up to 2 weeks. Common symptoms are
Complications – Complications occur mostly in untreated cases, allergic patients and smokers. Further, one should be aware that repeated infection can provide the base for sinusitis, nasal polyp, post-nasal drips, adenoids, tonsilitis, bronchitis (lower respiratory tract infection), primary complex, asthma, pneumonia, middle ear infection (CSOM), etc. To avoid complications, one need should go for treatment as early as possible. Diagnosis and investigations - is very important to cut short the course and spread of the underlying disease. Usually, discharge/sputum gives a clue for diagnosis with quantity, consistency, colour, odour and thickness. One needs to rush for treatment in case of purulent or blood-stained sputum. Yellow or green discharge with odour indicates added bacterial infection. If cold and cough persists for more than a week, it is better to go for proper analysis and treatment with the following tests:
Avoid Ø Contact with infected sick persons Ø Smoking and dust exposure Ø Cold/frozen food items Ø Watching TV Ø Mental strain Ø Alcohol, coffee, tea and soft drinks Take
Homeopathic approach Homeopathy is the finger-post on the cross-roads of healing which directs the way to safe and permanent cure. Homoeopathy has no side-effects. It comforts modern living. While taking anti-pyretic drugs, there won’t be a comfort feeling even after the fever subsides. But everyone can feel the well-being sensation while being treated by Homeopathy medicines even when there is fever as healing begins by the natural defence mechanism. In Homeopathy, the patient’s appetite and thirst improve first to energise the body for getting better, i.e. Homeopathy treats the patient in all ways. In spite of a wide variety of viruses, to remain healthy, raised immune mechanism and good health are must. For that, Homeopathy can surely help; so if you suffer recurrently from flu or flu-like symptoms, it is better to get treated with Homeopathy. In Homeopathy, we treat patients (symptoms of the patients) and not the disease or viruses, i.e., Homeopathy deals more with patients than diseases. Homeopathy treats constitutionally and improves immunity. For remarkable improvement and overall immunity, if one happens to take Homeopathy treatment, recurrence and sufferings can be reduced drastically. Homeopathic medicines commonly used in complaints of common cold are Aconite, Ars Alb, Ars iod, Anti-tart, Bacillinum, Belladonna, Bryonia, Calc carb, Corallium, Gelsemium, Hepar sulph, Kali bich, Kali-mur, Pulsatilla, Pyrogen, Rhus tox, Sabadilla, Senega, Silicea, Nat-sulph, Nux vom, etc. These medicines should be taken under the advice and diagnosis of a qualified Homeopath.
