Homeopathy treatment for Chronic Bronchitis
A clinical disorder characterized by productive cough due to excessive mucus secretion in the bronchial tree not caused by local Broncho-pulmonary disease, on most of the days for at least 3 months of the year for at least two consecutive years.
OVERVIEW
Chronic simple bronchitis characterized by mucoid sputum production, chronic mucopurulent bronchitis by persistent or recurrent purulent sputum production in absence of bronchiectasis and chronic bronchitis in patients who experience severe dyspnea and wheezing during acute respiratory infections or following inhaled irritants
CAUSES
- Infection – (a) Result of acute bronchitis. (b) Infective focus in upper respiratory tract, the nasal sinuses or tonsils. (c) Infective focus in lungs, e.g. bronchiectasis, fibrosis, or tuberculosis.
- Smoking – particularly of cigarettes.
- Air pollution – due to industrial fumes and dust.
- General illness – which favor infections, e.g. obesity, alcoholism, and chronic kidney disease.
TYPES
Chronic bronchitis is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), characterized by persistent cough and mucus production. There are two main types:
Simple Chronic Bronchitis: This form involves a chronic cough with mucus production, but without significant airflow obstruction. It often results from long-term exposure to irritants like smoking or pollution.
Chronic Obstructive Chronic Bronchitis (COPD): This type is more severe, involving airflow obstruction due to inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to breathing difficulties. It can worsen over time and is commonly linked to smoking.
Both types share symptoms like chronic cough, mucus production, and wheezing, and they require management to prevent complications.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
InspectionSymptoms
Cough
- Constant paroxysmal,
- worse in winter or on exposure to cold winds or sudden change of temperature.
- Expectoration –Variable, may be little, thin and mucoid or thick or frothy, mucoid and sticky. May become mucopurulent during attacks of acute bronchitis in winter.
- Dyspnea -In advanced cases, breathing becomes quick and wheezing present even at rest.
Fever Absent except in acute exacerbation
- Hemoptysis – Usually in the form of streaks of blood.
Signs
(a) Build – usually short and stocky.
(b) Cyanosis – rarely with clubbing.
(c) Signs of airway obstruction – Prolonged expiration, pursing of lips during expiration, contraction of expiratory muscles of respiration, fixation of scapulae by clamping the arms at the bedside, indrawing of supraclavicular fossae and intercostal spaces during inspiration, and jugular venous distension during expiration due to excessive swings of intrathoracic pressure. Widespread wheezes of variable pitch usually most marked in expiration. Crackles at lung bases in patients with excessive bronchial secretions. Both wheezing and crackles may be altered in character by coughing.
WHAT TO EAT
For chronic bronchitis, a balanced diet can help manage symptoms and improve overall health. Here’s a point-wise breakdown:
- Hydration: Drink plenty of fluids (water, herbal teas) to keep mucus thin and easier to expel.
- Fruits & Vegetables: Rich in antioxidants and vitamins (like vitamin C and A) to support the immune system and reduce inflammation. Examples: oranges, spinach, berries.
- Lean Proteins: Chicken, turkey, tofu, and fish provide essential nutrients without excess fat that can aggravate inflammation.
- Healthy Fats: Include omega-3 rich foods like salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds to reduce inflammation.
- Whole Grains: Brown rice, oats, and quinoa for fiber to help with digestion and energy.
- Spices: Ginger and turmeric may have anti-inflammatory properties.
- Avoid: Processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive dairy, which may worsen mucus production.
Consult a doctor for personalized advice.
DIET AND REGIMEN
A high-protein/high-calorie diet is necessary to correct malnutrition.
- A diet without tough or stringy foods and an anti-reflux regimen are useful. Gas-forming vegetables may cause discomfort for some patients.
- Increased use of omega-3 fatty acids in foods such as salmon, haddock, mackerel, tuna, and other fish sources may be beneficial.
- Encourage a diet that meets Recommended Dietary Allowances for antioxidant vitamins A, C, also E. To enrich the diet with antioxidants, use more citrus fruits, whole grains, also nuts. There is a protective effect of fruit and possibly vitamin E.
- Fluid intake should be high, especially if the patient is febrile. Use 1 mL/kcal as a general rule. This may translate to eight or more cups of fluid daily. For discomfort, consume liquids between meals to increase ability to consume nutrient-dense foods at mealtimes.
- Limit salt intake. Too much sodium can cause fluid retention or peripheral edema, which may interfere with breathing.
- Fiber should be increased gradually, perhaps through use of psyllium, crushed bran, either prune juice, or extra fruits and vegetables.
- Use small, concentrated feedings at frequent intervals to lessen fatigue. For example, eggnogs and shakes may be helpful between meals.
- Morning may be the best meal of the day for many patients
