Allergy to dust & smoke 11608...India
A 20-year-old man presented with a history of respiratory allergy for the past 12 years. Since the age of eight, he started to feel breathless whenever exposed to dust or smoke. These episodes lasting 10 to 15 minutes occurred at least 2 to 3 times a week due to unavoidable environmental factors in his village. About once a month breathlessness was accompanied with headache which subsided on its own within 20 minutes. He did not take any treatment due to financial constraints and managed his condition by taking rest.
On 16 Mar 2019, he visited the practitioner who gave him:
#1. CC19.2 Respiratory allergies…TDS
On 26 Mar, he reported having only two episodes in the last 10 days, each lasting about 5 minutes. Additionally, he mentioned that for the past two years, he had been feeling weak, necessitating a daily afternoon nap lasting an hour, the duration gradually increased thus disrupting his work schedule. The remedy was enhanced to:
#2. CC12.1 Adult tonic + #1…TDS
On 20 Apr, he came for a refill and excitedly reported 50% improvement with only two short episodes in the past one month. His energy level had gone up and he felt really good. The frequency of episodes was going down slowly but steadily.
By 30 May, he was completely free from breathlessness, even when exposed to dust. With no trace of weakness, he could actively work in afternoons without needing a nap. Headache never appeared after starting vibro. Dosage was reduced to OD and further to 3TW on 2 July, then tapered off before stopping it on 10 Sept.
As of 28 May 2024, he is well and remains energetic.
