Whooping Cough<\/span><\/h1>\n

(An acute infectious disease characterized by paroxysmal cough, ending in noisy inspiration with
\na whoop; coughing persists in most cases for several weeks; food should be given frequently, but
\nin small quantities, as a full stomach may cause vomiting.)
\nCauses:
\nAn accumulation of fibrin and other organic matter in bronchial tubes, and also in glottis (opening
\nfrom pharynx into larynx) is the main cause.
\nSigns & symptoms:
\ni) Paroxysmal cough with a loud sound
\nii) Cough mild in the beginning
\niii) The cough gradually increases in intensity with violent spasms of coughing
\niv) Vomiting follows.
\nv) Fever may afflict the patient.
\nRemedies:
\n1) Mag Phos 6x<\/strong>: It is the principal Bio-chemic remedy in whooping cough, for the \u2018whoop,\u2019
\nparoxysms of coughing, difficult breathing. When the fits of coughing are very acute, dissolve
\n3 tablets in hot water and give it 4 hourly. For chronic whooping cough, it should be
\nalternated with Kali Mur 6x, every 4 hours for some days. Occasional doses of Ferrum Phos
\n6x in mornings may be necessary. When the cough has become spasmodic in character,
\nending in the characteristic whoop, Mag Phos is the remedy par excellence. Calcarea Phos
\n6x is often used in winding up the treatment as a general restorative.
\n2) Hepar Sulph 12x or 30x twice or thrice for some days<\/strong>, if whooping cough worse in
\nmorning and while walking; cough troublesome if the patient exposed to dry cold winds;
\nrattling cough with suffocative attacks, better while bending head backwards.
\n3) Kali Carb 30x, twice a day for a few days<\/strong>: It is good for dry painful cough with
\nhoarseness and loss of voice, about 3 a. m.; expectoration scanty and tenacious and may have
\nto be swallowed, better in warm climate and by leaning forward, worse in cold weather.
\n4) Kali Sulph 12x twice daily for some days:<\/strong> It is beneficial in the last stage of whooping
\ncough with blistered lips & mouth, black offensive stools, yellow slimy expectoration.
\nManagement:<\/strong>
\na) Keep the room well ventilated.
\nb) Cover the chest warmly.
\nc) Give food frequently, but in small quantities.
\nd) Use a light belt about the abdomen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
