Pneumonia is an acute infection of the lung parenchyma characterized by inflammation of the alveoli, causing them to fill with fluid, pus, or cellular debris. It may be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or aspiration of foreign material. Clinically, it presents with fever, chills, cough with sputum, chest pain, breathlessness, and fatigue. Auscultation often reveals crackles, bronchial breath sounds, or decreased air entry. Pneumonia can range from mild community-acquired forms to severe, life-threatening infections, particularly in the elderly, immunocompromised individuals, smokers, and those with chronic diseases. Prompt diagnosis and management are essential to prevent complications like pleural effusion, sepsis, or respiratory failure.

Homoeopathy treats pneumonia by enhancing the body’s immune response, reducing inflammation in lung tissues, improving expectoration, and supporting recovery from weakness. Medicines are chosen based on the nature of cough, type of sputum, breathing difficulty, fever pattern, chest pain, and associated constitutional features. Early remedies manage acute inflammation, while deeper remedies support complete resolution and prevent relapse. Individualized selection ensures effective relief even in chronic or recurrent pneumonia tendencies.
