Homeopathy treatment for Pneumonia

Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lung primarily affecting the small air sacs known as alveoli.

Pneumonia is usually caused by infection with viruses or bacteria, and less commonly by other microorganisms. Identifying the responsible pathogen can be difficult. Diagnosis is often based on symptoms and physical examination. Chest X-rays, blood tests, and culture of the sputum may help confirm the diagnosis. The disease may be classified by where it was acquired, such as community- or hospital-acquired or healthcare-associated pneumonia.

Each year, pneumonia affects about 450 million people globally (7% of the population) and results in about 4 million deaths. With the introduction of antibiotics and vaccines in the 20th century, survival has greatly improved. Nevertheless, pneumonia remains a leading cause of death in developing countries, and also among the very old, the very young, and the chronically ill. 

Pneumonia often shortens the period of suffering among those already close to death and has thus been called “the old man’s friend”.

[A] Predisposing factors:

Factors that predispose to pneumonia include smoking, immunodeficiency, alcoholism, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, sickle cell disease (SCD), asthma, chronic kidney disease, liver disease, and biological aging. Additional risks in children include not being breastfed, exposure to cigarette smoke and other air pollution, malnutrition, and poverty. The use of acid-suppressing medications – such as proton-pump inhibitors or H2 blockers – is associated with an increased risk of pneumonia. Approximately 10% of people who require mechanical ventilation develop ventilator-associated pneumonia, and people with a gastric feeding tube have an increased risk of developing aspiration pneumonia. For people with certain variants of the FER gene, the risk of death is reduced in sepsis caused by pneumonia. However, for those with TLR6 variants, the risk of getting Legionnaires’ disease is increased.

[B] Infection:

Bacteria

Bacteria are the most common cause of community-acquired pneumonia (in other words, CAP), with Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated in nearly 50% of cases. Other commonly isolated bacteria include Haemophilus influenzae in 20%, Chlamydophila pneumoniae in 13%, also Mycoplasma pneumoniae in 3% of cases; Staphylococcus aureusMoraxella catarrhalis; and Legionella pneumophila. A number of drug-resistant versions of the above infections are becoming more common, including drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (in other words, DRSP) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

spreading of organisms

The spreading of organisms is facilitated by certain risk factors. Alcoholism is associated with Streptococcus pneumoniae, anaerobic organisms, also Mycobacterium tuberculosis; smoking facilitates the effects of Streptococcus pneumoniaeHaemophilus influenzaeMoraxella catarrhalis, and Legionella pneumophila. Additionally, Exposure to birds is associated with Chlamydia psittaci; farm animals with Coxiella burnetti; aspiration of stomach contents with anaerobic organisms; and cystic fibrosis with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Streptococcus pneumoniae is more common in the winter, also it should be suspected in persons aspirating a large number of anaerobic organisms.

Viruses

In adults, viruses account for about one third of pneumonia cases, and in children for about 15% of them. Commonly implicated agents include rhinoviruses, coronaviruses, influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus, and parainfluenza. Herpes simplex virus rarely causes pneumonia, except in groups such as newborns, persons with cancer, transplant recipients, and people with significant burns. After organ transplantation or in otherwise immunocompromised persons, there are high rates of cytomegalovirus pneumoni.

secondary infection

Those with viral infections may be secondarily infected with the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniaeStaphylococcus aureus, or Haemophilus influenzae, particularly when other health problems are present. Different viruses predominate at different times of the year; during flu season, for example, influenza may account for more than half of all viral cases. Outbreaks of other viruses also occur occasionally, including hantaviruses and coronaviruses. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can also result in pneumonia.

Fungi

Fungal pneumonia is uncommon, but occurs more commonly in individuals with weakened immune systems due to AIDS, immunosuppressive drugs, or other medical problems. It is most often caused by Histoplasma capsulatumBlastomycesCryptococcus neoformansPneumocystis jiroveci (pneumocystis pneumonia, or PCP), and Coccidioides immitis. Histoplasmosis is most common in the Mississippi River basin, and coccidioidomycosis is most common in the Southwestern United States. The number of cases of fungal pneumonia has been increasing in the latter half of the 20th century due to increasing travel and rates of immunosuppression in the population. For people infected with HIV/AIDS, PCP is a common opportunistic infection.

Parasites

A variety of parasites can affect the lungs, including Toxoplasma gondiiStrongyloides stercoralisAscaris lumbricoides, and Plasmodium malariae. These organisms typically enter the body through direct contact with the skin, ingestion, or via an insect vector. Except for Paragonimus westermani, most parasites do not specifically affect the lungs but involve the lungs secondarily to other sites. Some parasites, in particular those belonging to the Ascaris and Strongyloides genera, stimulate a strong eosinophilic reaction, which may result in eosinophilic pneumonia. In other infections, such as malaria, lung involvement is due primarily to cytokine-induced systemic inflammation. In the developed world, these infections are most common in people returning from travel or in immigrants. Around the world, parasitic pneumonia is most common in the immunodeficient.

[C] Noninfectious

Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia or noninfectious pneumonia is a class of diffuse lung diseases. They include diffuse alveolar damage, organizing pneumonia, nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia, desquamative interstitial pneumonia, respiratory bronchiolitis interstitial lung disease, and usual interstitial pneumonia. Lipoid pneumonia is another rare cause due to lipids entering the lung. These lipids can either be inhaled or spread to the lungs from elsewhere in the body.

Pneumonia often shortens the period of suffering among those already close to death and has thus been called “the old man’s friend”.

 

 

Pneumonia is most commonly classified by where or how it was acquired:

[A]. community-acquired

[B]. Aspiration

[C]. Healthcare-associated

[D].Hospital-acquired

[E]. Ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Community-acquired pneumonia [CAP]

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) acquire in the community, outside of health care facilities. Compared with health care–associated pneumonia, it is less likely to involve multidrug-resistant bacteria. Although the latter are no longer rare in CAP, they are still less likely.

Health care–associated pneumonia (HCAP)

an infection associate with recent exposure to the health care system, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, nursing homes, dialysis centers, chemotherapy treatment, or home care. HCAP sometimes call MCAP (medical care–associated pneumonia).

People may become infected with pneumonia in a hospital; this define as pneumonia not present at the time of admission (symptoms must start at least 48 hours after admission). It likely to involve hospital-acquire infections, with higher risk of multidrug-resistant People in a hospital often have other medical conditions, which may make them more susceptible to pathogens in the hospital.

Ventilator-associated pneumonia [VAP]

occurs in people breathing with the help of mechanical ventilation. Ventilator-associated pneumonia specifically define as pneumonia that arises more than 48 to 72 hours after endotracheal intubation. It may also classify by the area of the lung affected:

[A]. Lobar pneumonia

[B]. Bronchial pneumonia

[C]. Acute interstitial pneumonia

Pneumonia in children may additionally classify based on signs and symptoms as non-severe, severe, or very severe.

The setting in which pneumonia develops is important to treatment, as it correlates to which pathogens are likely suspects, which mechanisms are likely, which antibiotics are likely to work or fail, and which complications can expect based on the person’s health status

  • Productive cough, fever accompanied by shaking chills, shortness of breath, sharp or stabbing chest pain during deep breaths, and an increased rate of breathing. In older people, confusion may be the most prominent sign.
  • In children under five are fever, cough, and fast or difficult breathing
  • Cough is frequently absent in children less than 2 months old

  • More severe signs and symptoms in children may include blue-tinged skin, unwillingness to drink, convulsions, ongoing vomiting, extremes of temperature, or a decreased level of consciousness.
  • Pneumonia caused by Legionella may occur with abdominal pain, diarrhea, or confusion

  • It caused by Streptococcus pneumoniaeis associated with rusty colored sputum.
Other symptoms
  • Pneumonia caused by Klebsiella may have bloody sputum often described as “currant jelly”.

  • Bloody sputum (known as hemoptysis) may also occur with tuberculosis, Gram-negative pneumonia, lung abscesses and more commonly acute bronchitis.
  • Pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae may occur in association with swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck, joint pain, or a middle ear infection

  • Viral pneumonia presents more commonly with wheezing than bacterial pneumonia.

When dealing with pneumonia, it’s important to focus on a diet that supports your immune system, helps reduce inflammation, and promotes overall recovery. While food alone cannot cure pneumonia, proper nutrition can help boost your immune function, fight infections, and improve energy levels during recovery.

Here’s a general guideline for what to eat when recovering from pneumonia:

1. Hydration

  • Why: Staying well-hydrated is essential to help thin mucus, reduce fever, and promote better lung function.

  • What to Drink:

    • Water (sip frequently to stay hydrated)

    • Sugary snacks, sodas, and baked goods

    • Fast food and processed meats

    • Packaged snacks high in salt and unhealthy fats

10. Small, Frequent Meals

  • Why: Eating smaller, more frequent meals can be easier on your stomach and provide continuous energy, especially if you’re feeling weak or have a reduced appetite.

  • What to Do:

    • Eat 4-6 small meals a day, instead of larger meals, to keep your energy up and prevent fatigue.

    • Include a balance of protein, healthy fats, and fiber in each meal for sustained energy.

Managing pneumonia through diet and a supportive regimen can help boost your immune system, reduce inflammation, and promote a quicker recovery. While diet alone can’t cure pneumonia, good nutrition and appropriate habits can assist in healing and strengthen your overall health during the recovery process.

Here’s a diet and regimen for someone recovering from pneumonia:

4. Follow Medical Advice

  • Why: Follow the treatment plan prescribed by your doctor, including taking any antibiotics, antivirals, or other medications as directed.

  • What to Do:

    • Complete the full course of antibiotics if prescribed, even if you start feeling better.

    • Keep track of any symptoms (such as shortness of breath, chest pain, or fever) and report them to your doctor if they worsen.

5. Avoid Smoking and Secondhand Smoke

  • Why: Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke can worsen lung conditions and delay recovery from pneumonia.

  • What to Do:

    • Avoid smoking, and stay away from smoky environments.

Homeopathic medicine for Pneumonia:

Ferrum phosphoricum

This, like Aconite, is a remedy for the first stage before exudation takes place, and, like Aconite, if there be any expectoration it is thin, watery and blood streaked. It is a useful remedy for violent congestions of the lungs, whether appearing at the onset of the diseases or during its course, which would show that the inflammatory action was extending; it thus corresponds to what term secondary pneumonias, especially in the age and debilitated. There high fever, oppress and hurry breathing, and bloody expectoration, very little thirst; there are extensive rales, and perhaps less of that extreme restlessness and anxiety that characterizes Aconite. This remedy, with kali muriaticum, forms the Schuesslerian treatment of this disease.

Bryonia Alba

is the remedy for pneumonia; it furnishes a better pathological picture of the disease than any other, and it comes in after Bryonia is looser and moister than that of Aconite, and there are usually sharp stitching pleuritic pains, the cough of Bryonia is also hard and dry at times and the sputum is scanty and rust colored, so typical of pneumonia. There may circumscribe redness of the cheeks, slight delirium and apathy; the tongue will most likely dry, and the patient will most likely dry, l and the patient will want to keep perfectly quiet. It a right-side remedy and attacks the parenchyma of the lung, and perhaps more strongly indicate in the croupous form of pneumonia.

The patient dreads to cough and holds his breath to prevent it on account of the pain it causes; it seems as though the chest walls would fly to pieces. The pains in the chest, besides being worse by motion and breathing, are relieved by lying on the right or painful side, because this lessens the motions; of that side. Coughs which hurt distant parts of the body call for Bryonia. Phosphorus most commonly follows Bryonia in pneumonia, and is complementary. In pneumonias complicated by pleurisy Bryonia is the remedy, par excellence. Halbert believes that Cantharis relieves the painful features of the early development of the exudate better than any other remedy, a hint which comes from Dr.Jousset, who used the remedy extensively.

Kali muriaticum

Since the advent of Schussler’s this has been a favorite remedy with some physicians, and not without a good ground for its favoritism. Clinical experience has proved that this drug in alternation with Ferrum Phosphoricum constitutes a treatment of pneumonia which has been very successful in many hands. The symptoms calling for Kali muriaticum as laid down by Schussler are very meager, it given simply because there is a fibrinous exudation in the lung substance. There is a white, viscid expectoration and the tongue coated white. It better suited to the second stage, for when the third stage appears with its thick, yellowish expectoration it replace by Kali Sulphuricum in the biochemic nomenclature.

Phosphorus

is “the great mogul of lobar pneumonia.” It should remembered that Phosphorus is not, like Bryonia, the remedy when the lungs completely hepatized, although it is one of the few drugs which have known to produce hepatization. When bronchial symptoms are present it is the remedy, and cerebral symptoms during pneumonia often yield better to Phosphorus than to Belladonna. There is cough; with pain under sternum, as if something torn loose; there is pressure across the upper part of the chest and constriction of the larynx; there pressure across the upper part of the chest and constriction of the larynx; there are mucous rales, labored breathing, sputa yellowish mucus, with blood streaks therein, or rust colored, as under Bryonia.

Relationship of Phosphorus

After Phosphorus, Hepar Sulphur. naturally follows as the exudate begins to often; it is the remedy of the third stage, the fever is; of a low character. Tuberculinum. In lobular pneumonia this remedy surpasses Phosphorus or Antimonium tartaricum, and competent observers convinced that it has an important place in the treatment of pneumonia; some using it in very case intercurrently; doses varying from 6x to 30x. When typhoid symptoms occur in the course of pneumonia then Phosphorus will come in beautifully.

Phosphorus follows Bryonia well, being complementary to it. There is also a sensation as if the chest were full of blood, which causes an oppression; of breathing, a symptom met with commonly enough in pneumonia. Hughes maintains that Phosphorus should give in preference to almost any medicine in acute chest affections in young children. Lilienthal says Phosphorus is our great tonic to the heart and lungs. Hyoscyamus. Dr. Nash considers this remedy one; of the best in typhoid pneumonia, meaning that it is more frequently indicated than any other.

Chelidonium

Bilious pneumonia is, perhaps more often indicative of

Chelidonium than of any other remedy. there are stitching pains under the right scapula, loose rattling cough and difficult expectoration, oppression; of chest, as under Antimonium tartaricum, and fan-like motions of the alae nasi, as under Lycopodium. Mercurius is quite similar in bilious pneumonia; the stools will decide, those of Mercurius being slimy and accompan by tenesmus; the expectoration is also apt to blood-streak. With Chelidonium there is an excess of secretion in the tubes, which; is similar to Antimonium tartaricum, and an inability to raise the same. It has greatly praise in catarrhal pneumonia of young children where there is plentiful secretion and inability to raise it. The right lung more often affect in cases calling for Chelidonium.

Antimonium tartaricum

This drug especially indicated in pneumonia and pleuro-pneumonia at the stage of resolution. There are fine moist rales heard all over the hepatized portion of the lungs; these are different from the Ipecac rales; they are fine, while those of Ipecac are coarse. With Antimonium tartaricum there is great oppression of breathing, worse towards morning, compelling the patient to sit up to breath. There are also sharp, stitching pains and high fever, as under Bryonia, and it, perhaps, more closely corresponds to the catarrhal form than it does to the croupous. Bilious symptoms, if present, do not contra-indicate, as there are many of these in its pathogenesis. There is one peculiar symptom, the patient feels sure that the next cough will raise the mucus, but it does not. When there is deficient reaction, as in the aged or; in very young children, this remedy particularly indicated.

Kali carbonicum

is, perhaps, more similar to Bryonia than any drug in the symptom of sharp, stitching pains in the chest. These are worse by motion, but, unlike Bryonia they come whether the patient moves or not, and are more in the lower part of the right lung. In pneumonia with intense dyspnoea and a great deal of mucus on the chest, which, like in all of the Kalis, raise with difficulty, wheezing and whistling breathing, Kali carbonicum is the remedy, especially if the cough tormenting. It comes in with benefit ofttimes where Antimonium tartaricum and Ipecac have failed to raise the expectoration. Kali bichromicum may indicate by its well-known tough, stringy expectoration.

Sulphur

A remedy to use in any stage of pneumonia. It will prevent, if given in the beginning, if the symptoms indicate it. It will prevent hepatization and cause imperfect and slow resolution to react. When the case has a typhoid tendency and the lung and the lung tends to break down, where there are rales, muco-purulent expectoration slow speech, dry tongue and symptoms of hectic, Sulphur is the remedy. Weakness and faintness are characteristic symptoms. Dr. G. J. Jones says a dyspnoea occurring at night between 12 and 2 causing the patient to sit up in bed is a valuable symptom.

Its field especially in neglect pneumonias in psoric constitutions, with tendency to develop into tuberculosis. In purulent expectoration Sanguinaria is the better remedy, especially where it is offensive even to the patient himself. If the lung hepatize, the patient at night restless and feverish, ulceration threatened, and there is no tendency to recuperation then one may depend upon Sulphur. Lycopodium also; a most useful remedy in delay or partial resolution. There is a tightness across the chest, aching over lungs, general weakness. Hughes says it is the best remedy where the case threatens to run into acute phthisis.
