STUDY ON SCOPE OF HOMOEOPATHY IN CASES OF MALTREATED CHILDREN OF SINUSITIS

Background: In medical terminology Sinusitis is a term used for headache which arises due to fluid collection in the sinuses. We have four sets of sinuses frontal, ethmoid, maxillary and sphenoid. They all connect with the nose through narrow channels. The main use of sinus is to prevent echoes while we speak which may reverberate in the skull. It also helps in pronunciation of nasal consonants (M, N and Ng). It is also useful for air-conditioning and lightening the skull. The main complaint of sinusitis is headache, the best way to get rid of a sinus headache is to treat the underlying sinus inflammation and the sinus headache will disappear once the sinuses are cleared. Sinusitis presents different sets of symptoms in every patient. Before prescribing a remedy, Homeopaths usually look into the patient’s constitutional type and characteristic symptom for selection of the right remedy. In homeopathic terms, a person’s constitution is his/her physical, emotional and intellectual make-up. Aims and objective: Study of maltreated sinusitis and homoeopathic approach through cases following symptoms like cough, headache, nose blocked and shortness of breath, often worse at night. Material and methods 30 patient were taken from O.P.D. and I.P.D. of GDHHMCH on inclusion criteria of patient having sinusitis. Literature review was conducted to get the applied aspect of sinusitis and homoeopathic approach Result: This study revealed the applied aspect of sinusitis by literature review as well as by confirmation through the cases related to maltreated sinusitis. Conclusion: Better understanding of sinusitis indicating during homoeopathic approach is achieved by study of various sign and symptoms through the case study. So there is good scope of homoeopathic medicine in sinusitis. With the limitation of time further study is suggested for this work.
