PHARYNGITIS

Pharyngitis is inflammation of the pharynx, which is in the back of the throat. It’s most often referred to simply as “sore throat.” Pharyngitis can also cause scratchiness in the throat and difficulty swallowing.
More cases of pharyngitis occur during the colder months of the year. It’s also one of the most common reasons why people stay home from work. In order to properly treat a sore throat, it’s important to identify its cause. Pharyngitis may be caused by bacterial or viral infections.

CAUSES
Pharyngitis is caused by swelling in the back of the throat (pharynx) between the tonsils and the voice box (larynx).

Most sore throats are caused by colds, the flu, coxsackie virus or mono (mononucleosis).
There are numerous viral and bacterial agents that can cause pharyngitis. They include:

  • Measles
  • Adenovirus, Which Is The Cause Of The Common Cold
  • Chickenpox
  • Croup, Which Is A Childhood Illness Distinguished By A Barking Cough
  • Whooping Cough

The most common bacterial infection of the throat is strep throat, which is caused by Group A streptococcus. Rare causes of bacterial pharyngitis include gonorrhea, chlamydia, and corynebacterium.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

The symptoms of pharyngitis include the following:

  • Sore throat
  • Pain when swallowing
  • In rare cases, difficulty breathing
  • Inflammation of the membrane lining your throat
  • An extra membrane or the appearance of pus in your throat (can appear as white patches on tonsils or back of throat)
  • Fever
  • Enlarged lymph nodes in your neck

HOW HOMOEOPATHY HELPS????

If you keep getting any condition, it’s saying that your body isn’t strong enough to cure you. In other words, your immune system is compromised. The best treatment for any condition is to build your immune system up. Homoeopathic treatment helps to boost up your immune system and thereby expels the bacteria or virus outside the body which is troubling you.

Homeopathic medicines do not have any side-effects as these are sourced from natural substances. Homeopathic remedies eradicate the recurring tendency of sore throat as they address the underlying cause of the medical condition Homeopathic medicines go to the root of the problem and provide a lasting cure for sore throat. Homeopathic treatment for sore throat is of great help for people of all age groups.

CROUP

Croup is a type of respiratory infection that is usually caused by a virus. The infection leads to swelling inside the wind pipe, which interferes with normal breathing and produces the classic symptoms of “barking” cough, stridor, and a hoarse voice. Feverand runny nose may also be present. These symptoms may be mild, moderate, or severe. Often it starts or is worse at night. It normally lasts one to two days.

CAUSES

Croup is most often caused by viruses such as parainfluenza RSV, measles, adenovirus, and influenza. It tends to appear in children between 3 months and 5 years old, but it can happen at any age. Some children are more likely to get croup and may get it several times. It is most common between October and March, but can occur at any time of the year.

More severe cases of croup may be caused by bacteria. This condition is called bacterial tracheitis.
Croup may also be caused by:

  • Allergies
  • Breathing in something that irritates your airway
  • Acid reflux

SYMPTOMS

Croup often begins as a typical cold. If there is enough inflammation and coughing, a child will develop a loud barking cough. This often is worse at night, and is further aggravated by crying and coughing, as well as anxiety and agitation, setting up a cycle of worsening symptoms. Fever and a hoarse voice are common, too. Your child’s breathing may be noisy or labored.

Diagnosis made by physical examination which may show chest retractions with breathing. When listening to the child’s chest through a stethoscope, the health care provider may hear:

  • Difficulty breathing in and out       
  • Wheezing
  • Decreased breath sounds

HOMOEOPATHIC APPROACH

Homeopathy is a wonderful method for treating croup.  If the correct medicine is chosen, croup can resolve very rapidly. As with all homeopathic treatments, the goal is to identify thesimillimum, the remedy that most closely matches the patient’s presenting symptoms and mental-emotional state. The power of homeopathy for treating croup is out of proportion to the expectation.
