Cough

Individualised homoeopathic management of cough — acute, subacute, chronic; dry, productive, spasmodic, nocturnal — by matching the complete symptom modalities and constitutional picture.

Respiratory Care

Understanding Cough

Cough is a protective reflex. Acute (<3 weeks): viral URTI, bronchitis, pneumonia. Subacute (3–8 weeks): post-infectious, pertussis, sinusitis. Chronic (>8 weeks): UACS (post-nasal drip), asthma, GERD, ACE inhibitors, bronchiectasis, ILD, malignancy. Character: dry, productive, barking, whooping, staccato, honking. Modalities are key to remedy selection.

Homoeopathy selects remedy on cough modalities (worse/better: lying, night, cold air, eating, talking, pressure), sputum character, accompanying symptoms, and constitutional picture — not just the diagnostic label.

  • • Matches remedy to cough modalities (position, time, temperature, activity)
  • • Reduces frequency, intensity, and duration of paroxysms
  • • Promotes expectoration in productive cough
  • • Soothes laryngeal/tracheal irritation in dry cough
  • • Addresses root cause: post-nasal drip, asthma, GERD, allergy
  • • Reduces night disturbance and exhaustion
