  Age: 35 years
  
  Gender: Male
  
  Occupation: Corporate professional
  
  Weight: 85 kg (slightly obese)

• Diagnosis: Chronic sinusitis with post-nasal discharge

Condition Before Treatment

The patient visited Dr. Kratika Chaudhary with a history of sinusitis spanning from eight years. Charan Singh who was a 35-year-old corporate professional suffering from a condition which made him take antibiotics almost daily. During all these 8 years his problem never got any kind of relief which hampered his daily life. He has become dependent on antibiotics every time his condition gets triggered or worse and it may have provided him temporary relief but his symptoms were recurring. Most of the he took the anti allergic medicines and antibiotics on his own and sometimes after doctor prescription which wasn't providing any solution. 

When he came for the consultation he was suffering from continuous post-nasal discharge with dryness and irritation within the throat and a constant bitter taste in the mouth, especially in the morning. While the consultation doctor got to know that he also snored at night, had breathing issues and had deviated nasal septum. His symptoms always get aggravated during the weather change. His current situation was a result of a previous history of continuous cold and cough which later gave him painful oral ulcers whenever he got out of respiratory symptoms that eventually led to the cycle of illness. 

In the past he tried multiple conventional medicines including azithromycin, paracetamol and anti-allergic drugs too which didn’t give him any relief. After getting frustrated from persistent symptoms and increased usage of heavy medication, he thought of trying homeopathy for once.

Treatment Approach

After taking a thorough evaluation, Dr. Kratika Chaudhary noticed decreased thirst while every other thing was normal including appetite, bowel movement and urination. The severeness of the symptoms, continuous infections and addictiveness towards anti biotics and anti allergic medicines suggested his respiratory fragility. After considering the duration of the condition with family history and his triggers, the doctor prescribed him medicine for almost 3 months by designing a customized prescription to improve his immune system and stop the recurrence of the symptoms.
