Chronic breathlessness 11583...India
An 11-year-old girl had been suffering from recurrent episodes of fever, chills, nasal blockage, and severe breathlessness for one year since Jan 2024. These episodes recurred every three months, each requiring a week-long stay in the ICU, when chills and nasal blockage typically subsided. On discharge from the hospital, she was advised to manage fever with paracetamol and breathlessness with home nebulization, the latter she had to take at least once daily and more often every three weeks when she got bouts of severe breathlessness. She had to miss school frequently.
On learning about vibrionics, the concerned mother, consulted the practitioner who gave on 9 Jan 2025:
#1. IB (vol 12 #4)…6TD
#2. CC9.2 Infections acute + CC10.1 Emergencies + CC19.2 Respiratory allergies + CC19.4 Asthma attack + CC21.7 Fungus…6TD
Nebulization and paracetamol were continued as and when needed.
Treatment progress:
- 10 Jan 2025: Had sticky loose motions (possibly pullout) throughout the day; no weakness or fatigue noted.
- 11 Jan 2025: Fever subsided.
- 12 Jan 2025: Breathlessness completely resolved, no nebulizer for the first time in a year; #1 reduced to TDS.
- 25 Jan 2025: No recurrence of symptoms; #1 reduced to BD for maintenance, #2 to TDS.
- 1 Feb 2025: #2 reduced to OD for maintenance; on 30 May 2025, patient reported there has been no further episode.
As of Oct 2025, the girl remains healthy and is regularly attending school.
Editor’s note: Fungi can cause or worsen long-term breathing problems through allergic reactions, direct lung infection, and inflammation; adding CC21.7 Fungus was a good idea.
