A 5-years-old girl from Mumbai, Ms. H.K. (PIN: 31673) visited Life Force clinic in the month of March 2017 for the treatment of her Asthmatic Bronchitis.
Her parents gave a detailed medical history of the child. She was suffering from asthmatic bronchitis since birth, but, in the past two months, it had increased. She was suffering from the episodes almost twice in a month. The duration of each episode was around 4-5 days. During the episode, the child suffered from running nose and a cough. It was a barking type of cough. She was experiencing breathlessness, and the child was not able to breathe mostly at night. She had to breathe from the mouth as her nose remained blocked. Her sleep was disturbed due to her cough. She was noticed being very irritable and restless during the episodes. On examination of her chest, the wheezing sound was present. She was given conventional medicines during each episode. The nebulizer was also given to the child, as and when required. She was given homeopathic treatment in the past, but there was no improvement or relief with it.
The patient had an average appetite. She loved to eat chocolates. It was also updated by the patient’s parents that she feels thirstier and her water intake is also more than average. All her milestones were also normal.
She was going to school, but she often her school missed because of her complaints. She was a very stubborn child. Her parents said that she never listens to anyone and does what she likes.
