Pneumonia is an acute inflammatory infection of the lung parenchyma, affecting the alveoli and bronchioles, causing consolidation and impaired gas exchange. It may result from bacterial, viral, fungal, or atypical pathogens, commonly presenting with high fever, chills, productive or dry cough, sharp chest pain, breathlessness, and fatigue. Lung auscultation shows crepitations, bronchial breathing, and decreased air entry. Untreated pneumonia can progress to respiratory failure, sepsis, pleural effusion, or lung abscess.

Homoeopathy helps by reducing inflammation, improving expectoration, lowering fever, enhancing lung capacity, and preventing complications like effusion or consolidation. Remedies are chosen based on onset, type of cough, character of sputum, fever pattern, chest pain, breathlessness, modalities, and patient constitution. It is especially effective in early stages and as a supportive therapy in moderate-to-severe cases, helping faster recovery and preventing relapse.
