A case study of homoeopathic management of acute bronchiolitis treated in an inpatient department setting

Acute bronchiolitis, characterised by lower respiratory tract inflammation, predominantly affects infants and young children, presenting a significant burden on healthcare systems worldwide. Among infants, those under the age of 1 year, particularly within the first 6 months of life, are at heightened risk for developing severe respiratory distress due to bronchiolitis. This respiratory condition commonly manifests with symptoms such as cough, wheezing, tachypnoea and respiratory distress, often necessitating hospitalisation and intensive medical management. Modern medicine management mainly involves supportive care; however, it does not focus on curative management. This case demonstrates how homoeopathic management, done at the right stage of the disease, can prevent further complications and cure it within the shortest time possible.
