Dr. Muhammad Mahtab Hossain Mazed :
When winter comes, various winter diseases appear. Most of the victims are elderly people and children. Especially at the beginning of the winter season, pneumonia has appeared widely. Pneumonia affects about 450 million people worldwide every year.
According to the data, around 5 million children under the age of five died worldwide. 14 percent of these were deaths from pneumonia. At the same time, about 100,000 children under the age of five died in Bangladesh. About 24 thousand or 24 percent of them died of pneumonia. It appears that the death rate of pneumonia in Bangladesh is higher than the global rate. The situation has not improved in the last four-five years. In Bangladesh, 25 thousand children die of pneumonia every year.
The prevalence of pneumonia is high in developing countries. Children under five years of age and the elderly are most affected by pneumonia and children die most. Comparatively, men are affected more than women. Pneumonia is a complicated disease caused by inflammation of the lungs or respiratory system. Infection of the lung parenchyma or air sac with germs such as bacteria, viruses, etc. causes chest pain, shortness of breath, cough, which is known as pneumonia. It is a very common and ancient lung disease. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, described this disease two and a half thousand years ago. In the case of children, there are some differences in the pathogen according to age.
Chronic cold, mucus accumulation in the chest should be followed by pneumonia. Sudden heat after monsoon increases the prevalence of this disease. Not everyone will get pneumonia when they catch a cold, but those with low immunity, mainly the elderly and children, are more affected by this disease. According to them, the primary symptom of pneumonia is high fever. Even if the medicine reduces the fever, the fever suddenly increases when the effect of the medicine stops. Fever can rise to 103-104 degrees. Along with this there is shortness of breath, chest pain etc.
Sometimes headache, gradual weakness, reluctance to eat and drink are also symptoms of pneumonia. However, by touching a patient with pneumonia, the germs of pneumonia do not spread in the body. But it can spread from the cough or sneeze of the victim. However, there are several differences between pneumonia and cold-fever. It is easy to diagnose the disease if you pay a little attention.
According to the doctor, initially this disease starts with common fever-cold-cough, but it can be seen that with time, fever, shortness of breath is increasing, and cough is also increasing. Sometimes the fever comes back even after taking a strong dose of fever medicine. If the condition is serious, blood may come up with the cough. If these symptoms appear, you should go to the doctor without delay. Only a doctor can tell if a person is suffering from pneumonia. However, to be sure, some tests should be done.
Symptoms of Pneumonia:
Fever; It is usually high. Also cough, rapid breathing, wheezing, shortness of breath or labored breathing, chest tightness, chest pain, not wanting or being able to eat, lethargy or lethargy in the baby. , to vomitA child with pneumonia has rapid breathing. Infants under two months of age may breathe 60 times a minute or more. A child with pneumonia aged two to 12 months breathes 50 breaths or more per minute, and a one year old breathes 40 breaths or more. Chest cage can be given with rapid breathing. If these symptoms appear, the doctor should be seen immediately. Remember that the cause of death in children with pneumonia is delayed treatment.
Some basic suggestions for pneumonia patients:-
* Affected patients should be kept away from smoking. The patient should also be kept away from passive smoking.
* Keep away from any contamination. Smoke, dust, mosquito coils should be removed from the patient’s room.
* Dehydration is bad for pneumonia patients. So the patient should eat a lot of water and fluids.
* Do not try to bring down the fever by taking fever reducing medicine frequently but take the medicine according to the doctor’s advice.
* The patient should also be kept away from cold weather.
* If you have asthma, follow the restrictions of use as prescribed by an experienced homeopath.
* Patients suffering from heart and liver diseases and diabetics can take homeopathic treatment against pneumonia with doctor’s advice.
Homeo Remedies:
According to Hahnemann’s rules of homeopathy, treatment of any complex and difficult disease, including pneumonia, can be cured by the grace of God in the homeopathy treatment system if the individual can treat the symptoms based on the individual’s individuality. All the medicines which are selected by the experienced doctors in the first instance : Bryonia, Aconine, Antimonium tartaricum, Epicac, Phosphorus, Sulphur, Pneumococcus, Staphylococcus and many other medicines can come on the symptoms. So do not use the medicine yourself but consult an experienced homeopath.
Finally, I want to say, at this time of winter Pneumonia is usually not fatal if special precautions are taken. Children and the elderly need extra care. Pneumonia is more likely in the dry weather of winter. So it is very important to keep the airway moist during this time. It can prevent respiratory tract infection. And Pneumonia can be easily cured by homeopathy treatment. The main symptom of pneumonia is frequent breathing and difficulty in breathing. If one hundred children die in third world poor countries like us, the cause of death is pneumonia along with fever, cough, headache, chest pain, feeling very cold etc. Every parent should treat a child’s breathing problem as an emergency. However, the high powered, dangerously toxic antibiotics that are fed to children in the allopathic treatment of pneumonia, cause permanent damage to the children’s health due to their toxic effects. As a result some become skeletons for a few years and some for life. And know about this disease and inform people. Therefore, it is possible to get rid of this disease if children and adults follow several instructions and consult a doctor as soon as they are affected.
