How to Treat a Productive Cough with Homeopathy
A productive cough is also called a wet cough because it produces phlegm, unlike a dry cough. Phlegm is coughed up to clear mucus produced by certain cells in the respiratory tract.
Description of the Homeopathic Kit for Treating a Productive Cough
Coughs can be classified based on whether the patient can cough up phlegm easily or not, depending on whether the mucus loosens easily or not. Regular examination of the patient is essential to rule out a secondary infection or lung damage.
Make sure your cough is productive with phlegm before using this kit. Are you coughing, and is it a productive cough? There are various homeopathic remedies that can provide relief. Depending on your symptoms, discover the homeopathic treatment best suited to treat your productive cough:
- Ipeca 9ch: The patient has difficulty coughing up phlegm; the cough is not painful; it is violent and spasmodic, sometimes suffocating, and wheezing may be heard on auscultation; it sometimes causes nausea. The tongue is clean.
- Bryona 9ch: The cough is painful, worsened by the slightest movement; the mouth is dry, and the patient is very thirsty. Hot drinks provide relief. Take one dose every hour.
- Cuprum Metallicum 9ch: The cough is spasmodic and comes in fits. It is relieved by drinking cold water. The patient is flushed or even cyanotic at the end of a coughing fit. Take one dose every hour.
If the patient is coughing up a lot of phlegm...
- Pulsatilla 9ch: The sputum is yellow-green. The cough is productive during the day and dry at night. The sputum becomes clearer as the day progresses. The condition worsens in a warm room. Take one dose every hour.
Take the following remedy(s) in doses of 3 granules, initially every hour, then space out as the condition improves. For very young children, the granules can be diluted in a small bottle of water (10 of each for 24 hours), to be taken throughout the day.
