Pneumonia: Causes, Symptoms, and Effective Homeopathy Treatment

Introduction:

Pneumonia is a very serious infection of the lungs that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. This may bring on coughing, fever, difficulty breathing, and chest pains. The cause of pneumonia is any form of microorganism; it may be caused by a bacterium, virus, or fungus. Natural remedies via homeopathy can be treated through the induction of a body response and cure of the underlying cause without causing side effects.

Homeopathic treatment for pneumonia is tailor-made according to the symptoms for every patient. At Homeo Care Clinic, under the guidance of Dr. Vaseem Choudhary, homeopathic treatment goes holistic by treating the individual and leaving no scope for recurrence of pneumonia.

Causes of Pneumonia:

Pneumonia can be caused by several infectious agents including:

• Bacterial Infections: The most common bacterial cause is Streptococcus pneumoniae, and this can affect everybody irrespective of their age.
• Viral Infections: Such viral infections as influenza, the respiratory syncytial virus, or the common cold can cause pneumonia.
• Fungal Infections: Most often observed in immune-compromised patients. Some of the fungi include Histoplasma and Coccidioides, causing pneumonia.
• Aspiration: Aspiration occurs by the swallowing of food, liquids, or vomiting into the lungs, which causes aspiration pneumonia; the elderly or anyone with swallowing problems are more prone.
• Weakened Immunity: Long-term illnesses, weakened immune systems, or recent surgeries make a person more susceptible to developing pneumonia.

Symptoms of Pneumonia:

The symptoms of pneumonia may range from mild to serious, depending upon the nature and cause of the infection, and the patient’s current overall health. Generalized Symptoms Include:

• Fever and Chills: Sudden onset of high fever with shivering and chills.
• Persistent cough producing greenish, yellow, or bloody mucus
• Difficulty Breathing: Shortness of breath or getting winded even sitting still. Rapid breathing or wheezing
• Chest Pain: Sharp stabbing pain or feeling of pressure in the chest area that worsens with coughing or deep breathing
• Fatigue: Generalized body weakness and apparent fatigue
• Sweating and Shaking Chills: High fever that causes intense sweating and recurring chills.
• Confusion: especially in elderly patients, pneumonia may result in confusion or altered mental status.
• Bluish Lips or Fingernails: Cyanosis – indicates a low level of oxygen in the blood.

Treatment of Pneumonia:

Pneumonia treatment is basically conventional, based on the cause and severity of the infection. The following might be instituted: 

• Antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial pneumonia
• Antiviral Drugs: In case of viral pneumonia, antiviral drugs are given but most cases of viral pneumonia resolve with rest and supportive care.
• Antifungal Medication: If the patient is diagnosed with fungal pneumonia, the physician may administer antifungal medications.
• Oxygen Therapy: For major cases, supplemental oxygen may be required to alleviate the breathing difficulty.
• Hospitalization: Severe conditions of pneumonia often require hospitalization for intravenous medications, fluids, and oxygen therapy in such serious complications as respiratory, low blood pressure, or geriatric patients.

Homeopathy Treatment for Pneumonia:

Homeopathy is an individualized and holistic treatment for battling pneumonia by activating the body’s defense mechanism. In homeopathy, treatment for pneumonia is being given to a patient according to their unique symptoms and constitution. It not only cures the symptoms but prevents further recurrence too because it treats the cause.
