Upper Respiratory Tract Infection

Understanding Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (URTI)
Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URTI) are common infections that affect the nose, throat, and upper airways. While they can be uncomfortable, there are many effective ways to manage the symptoms and support your recovery.
What You Might Experience
Living with URTI can present various challenges:
- Runny or stuffy nose with clear or colored discharge
- Sore throat and difficulty swallowing
- Sneezing and nasal congestion
- Cough that may be dry or productive
- Low-grade fever and general discomfort
- Fatigue and low energy levels
- Headache and facial pressure
How Homoeopathy Can Help
Homoeopathy views URTI as a symptom that reflects your unique constitutional state and response to infection. We look at your specific symptoms, what makes them better or worse, and your overall health picture.
During a consultation, we explore your complete health story, including your respiratory patterns, energy levels, and how URTI affects your daily life. The goal is to address the underlying factors that contribute to your symptoms and support your body's natural healing processes.
Potential Homoeopathic Approaches
Every person's experience with URTI is unique. Here are some approaches that may be considered based on individual symptoms:
Aconitum Napellus
For sudden onset URTI with high fever, restlessness, and anxiety, often after exposure to cold, dry wind.
Allium Cepa
Characterized by profuse, watery nasal discharge that burns the upper lip, with bland tears from the eyes.
Pulsatilla
For URTI with thick, yellow-green discharge, worse in warm rooms, with a need for fresh air and comfort.
Belladonna
Often indicated for URTI with sudden onset, high fever, flushed face, and intense symptoms.
