This document discusses a study on the safety and efficacy of tiotropium bromide in patients with bronchial asthma. Tiotropium is a long-acting anticholinergic drug that works by blocking muscarinic receptors in the lungs. The study found that in patients with COPD (n=48), tiotropium significantly improved lung function measures (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC ratio) compared to baseline, with few side effects. The document concludes that tiotropium provides measurable bronchodilation in asthma and is well tolerated, suggesting it may be a treatment option for bronchial asthma.

Emphysema is defined pathologically as an abnormal, permanent enlargement of the air spaces distal to the terminal bronchioles, accompanied by destruction of their walls and without obvious fibrosis. Together, emphysema and chronic bronchitis are known as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and involves the enlargement of the air sacs in the lung.
The damage is permanent - not reversible - and it causes reduced respiratory function. When the hazards of smoking are bought up, the most common disease discussed is
cancer and no one brings up emphysema. Although, most cases of COPD, and therefore emphysema, are caused by cigarette smoking.
Emphysema is rarely caused by a congenital condition known as α1-antitrypsin
deficiency, for which there is a lab test.
The most common symptoms are breathlessness, or a 'need for air', excessive sputum
production, and a chronic cough. However, COPD is not just simply a "smoker's
cough", but an under-diagnosed, life threatening lung disease that may progressively
lead to death.
Doctors diagnose COPD and emphysema with lung function tests to measure lung capacity. Spirometry is used in diagnosis - to measure the volume of air a patient can
blow out in one second after a deep breath.
Treatment does not halt or reverse lung damage but eases symptoms and prevents exacerbations. Drugs and supportive therapies are the mainstay of emphysema treatment.
Drugs may include inhaled bronchodilators, corticosteroids and, when there is an infection, antibiotics.
Support therapy includes oxygen supplementation, nutrition, help with smoking cessation, and other educational interventions.
Surgical intervention, including lung transplantation, is reserved for severe cases of emphysema.
People with emphysema and COPD should have an annual flu jab and may be recommended for a pneumonia shot once every 5 years.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represents a major global health challenge. It is currently the fourth leading cause of death worldwide but is projected to become the third leading cause by 2020. The document defines COPD and discusses its types, risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, and management. The two main types are chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Smoking is the most important risk factor but other factors like indoor and outdoor air pollution also contribute to the disease burden. Symptoms include dyspnea, chronic cough, and sputum production. Spirometry is required to diagnose COPD by demonstrating airflow limitation.
1) Asthma is a chronic lung disease characterized by inflammation of the airways and periods of wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.
2) Risk factors for asthma include family history, allergies, viral infections, obesity, and exposure to environmental factors like cigarette smoke and air pollution.
3) Symptoms of an asthma attack include coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Long term complications if asthma is uncontrolled include reduced lung function, sleep disturbances, limitations to physical activity, and potentially life-threatening asthma attacks.
Chronic bronchitis is defined as a persistent cough with mucus production for at least three months a year for two consecutive years. The two most important causes are cigarette smoking and air pollution. Smoking impairs ciliary function and mucus clearance, stimulates mucus gland hypertrophy, and causes airway obstruction. Air pollution from sources like sulfur dioxide and particulate matter also increases the risk. Occupational exposures and infections can contribute as well. On a microscopic level, chronic bronchitis is defined by increased thickness of the mucus glands in the airways. Clinically, patients experience persistent cough and sputum production along with recurrent respiratory infections and exertional dyspnea.
Bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchial tubes caused by viruses, bacteria, smoking, and other irritants. It can be acute, lasting a few weeks, or chronic, lasting over 3 months. Symptoms include cough, sputum production, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Treatment focuses on airway clearance using expectorants, bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and antibiotics for secondary infections. Smoking cessation, exercise, chest physiotherapy, and oxygen therapy can help manage chronic bronchitis. Nursing care emphasizes improving breathing, clearing secretions, preventing infections, and enhancing coping skills.
Bronchiectasis is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by irreversible widening and scarring of the airways (bronchi) in the lungs. This widening and scarring result from repeated inflammation and infection, leading to the accumulation of mucus and impaired clearance of bacteria and debris from the airways. Common symptoms of bronchiectasis include chronic cough, production of large amounts of sputum (phlegm), recurrent respiratory infections, shortness of breath, fatigue, and chest pain. Treatment typically involves a combination of airway clearance techniques, medications to manage symptoms and prevent infections, and sometimes surgery in severe cases. Early diagnosis and management can help improve quality of life and reduce complications associated with bronchiectasis.
This document provides an overview of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including its definition, causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. COPD is a progressive lung disease characterized by limited airflow. The two main types are chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Smoking is the leading cause of COPD. Symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, wheezing and frequent respiratory infections. Diagnosis involves medical history, physical exam, lung function tests and chest imaging. Treatment focuses on medications, oxygen therapy and managing symptoms. Quitting smoking can prevent further progression of COPD.
Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung disease involving the abnormal widening of the bronchi. It can be congenital or acquired after birth, usually due to a severe lung infection that damages the bronchial tubes. Common causes include recurrent lung infections, tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis, and immunodeficiency disorders. Symptoms vary but often include a chronic cough with sputum, repeated lung infections, shortness of breath, and wheezing. Diagnosis involves physical exam, imaging tests, and pulmonary function tests. Treatment focuses on controlling infections with antibiotics, loosening mucus with medications, and preventing worsening of the condition.

It includes a certificate page signed by teachers, an acknowledgements page thanking those who helped with the project, and an index of the contents. The main body discusses the objectives, introduction, theories, signs and symptoms, causes, and diagnosis of asthma and emphysema. It provides detailed information on the environmental and genetic factors involved in causing asthma, as well as the symptoms and progression of emphysema due to damage of the alveoli in the lungs from smoking or other causes. Spirometry and other lung function tests are used to diagnose both conditions.
Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung disease that causes the bronchial tubes to widen permanently. It can be congenital or acquired after birth, usually due to a lung infection that damages the bronchial tubes. Common causes include recurrent lung infections, tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis, and immunodeficiencies. Symptoms include chronic cough with sputum, repeated lung infections, shortness of breath, fatigue, and wheezing. Diagnosis involves physical exam, chest x-ray, CT scan, and pulmonary function tests. Treatment focuses on controlling infections with antibiotics, loosening mucus with medications, and preventing worsening of the condition.
1) The patient presents with a history of recurrent chest infections and inspiratory crackles on examination. Imaging and pulmonary function tests are required to diagnose interstitial lung disease.
2) Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic, progressive form of interstitial lung disease of unknown cause characterized by fibrosis of the lungs. It carries a poor prognosis with median survival of 3 years.
3) Diagnosis requires ruling out other causes through history, imaging showing reticular opacities and honeycombing, and lung biopsy if imaging is not definitive. Treatment focuses on managing complications, vaccination, oxygen therapy and consideration of lung transplantation in advanced cases.

This document discusses cough and difficulty breathing. It defines cough and describes the pathophysiology and receptors involved in the cough reflex. It lists various causes of acute, subacute and chronic cough and treatments. It also defines dyspnea as difficult, labored or uncomfortable breathing and describes the pathophysiology as an imbalance between the perceived need to breathe and ability to breathe, with carbon dioxide build up and oxygen deprivation causing dyspnea. It mentions considering family history, smoking history, exposure and treatment history in evaluating cough and breathing difficulty.
Chronic Bronchitis is a respiratory condition characterized by persistent cough and sputum production for at least three months per year caused by inflammation of the bronchial tubes. It is usually caused by long-term cigarette smoking which damages the airways and increases mucus production over many years. The primary symptoms include a daily cough with sputum, worsening shortness of breath, and reduced ability to exercise. While restoration of normal lung function is not possible, treatment aims to reduce symptoms and disability by addressing airway obstruction, infections, oxygen levels, and encouraging smoking cessation.

This document discusses cough and difficulty breathing. It defines cough and describes the pathophysiology and receptors involved in the cough reflex. It lists various causes of acute, subacute and chronic cough and treatments. It also defines dyspnea as difficult, labored or uncomfortable breathing and describes the pathophysiology as an imbalance between the perceived need to breathe and ability to breathe, with carbon dioxide build up and oxygen deprivation causing dyspnea. It mentions considering family history, smoking history, exposure and treatment history in evaluating cough and breathing difficulty.
Chronic Bronchitis is a respiratory condition characterized by persistent cough and sputum production for at least three months per year caused by inflammation of the bronchial tubes. It is usually caused by long-term cigarette smoking which damages the airways and increases mucus production over many years. The primary symptoms include a daily cough with sputum, worsening shortness of breath, and reduced ability to exercise. While restoration of normal lung function is not possible, treatment aims to reduce symptoms and disability by addressing airway obstruction, infections, oxygen levels, and encouraging smoking cessation.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

Integration of Indian Indigenous Knowledge System in Management Prospects and...ijtsrd
The diversity of indigenous knowledge systems in India is vast and can vary significantly between different communities and regions. Preserving and respecting these knowledge systems is crucial for maintaining cultural heritage, promoting sustainable practices, and fostering cross cultural understanding. In this paper, an overview of the prospects and challenges associated with incorporating Indian indigenous knowledge into management is explored. It is found that IIKS helps in management in many areas like sustainable development, tourism, food security, natural resource management, cultural preservation and innovation, etc. However, IIKS integration with management faces some challenges in the form of a lack of documentation, cultural sensitivity, language barriers legal framework, etc. Savita Lathwal "Integration of Indian Indigenous Knowledge System in Management: Prospects and Challenges" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-8 | Issue-1 , February 2024, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd63500.pdf Paper Url: https://www.ijtsrd.com/management/accounting-and-finance/63500/integration-of-indian-indigenous-knowledge-system-in-management-prospects-and-challenges/savita-lathwal

Genetic consideration
Severe α1AT (anti-trypsin) deficiency is a proven
genetic risk factor for chronic bronchitis; there is
increase evidence that other determinants also exist.
There appears to be a poorly- defined familial
tendency and genetic predisposition to develop
disabling chronic bronchitis. However, it is more
likely that non-smoker family member who remain in
the air pollution of home are significantly exposed to
smoke and have increased level of CO.
Pathology
Cigarette smoke exposure may affect the large
airways, small airways and alveoli. Changes in large
airways causes cough and sputum, while changes in
small airways and alveoli are responsible for
physiological changes.
Cigarette smoking often result in mucus gland
enlargement and goblet cell hyperplasia, leading to
cough and mucus production that define chronic
bronchitis, but these abnormalities are not related to
airflow limitation. Goblet cells not only increase in
number but in extent through the bronchial tree.
Bronchi also undergo squamous metaplasia,
predisposing to carcinogenesis and disrupting
mucociliary clearance.
Patient may have smooth-muscle hypertrophy and
bronchial hyperreactivity leading to airflow
limitation.
Neutrophil influx has been associated with purulent
sputum of upper respiratory tract infection. Grossly
the bronchial wall thickened, hyperaemic, and
oedematous. Lumina of bronchi and bronchioles may
contain mucus plugs and purulent exudate.
Microscopically, just as there is clinical definition,
there is histologic definition of chronic bronchitis by
increased Reid index. Reid index is the ratio between
thickness of submucosal mucus glands i.e.
hypertrophy and hyperplasia) in the cartilage-
containing large airways to that of the total bronchial
wall. The increase in thickness can be quantitatively
assessed micrometre lens. 'The bronchial epithelium
may show squamous metaplasia and dysplasia.
There is little chronic inflammatory cell infiltrate, The
non-cartilage containing small airways shows goblet
cell hyperplasia and intraluminal and peri-bronchial
fibrosis.
TYPES OF BRONCHITIS
There are two types of bronchitis which includes
following
Acute bronchitis
Chronic bronchitis
ACUTE BRONCHITIS
"The term acute bronchitis defines self-limited (1 to 3
week) inflammation of large airway of the lung
extended to tertiary bronchi. In patient with a primary
symptom of cough, the diagnosis is made if there is
no clinical and radiological evidence of pneumonia."

CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
"A clinical condition characterized by cough and
sputum on the most day for at least 3 months, in each
of consecutive 2 years."
Cause
Infection: - result of acute bronchitis, tonsillitis,
URTI. Bacterial infection viz., mycoplasma
pneumonia, Bordetella pertussis, streptococcus
pneumonia and haemophilus influenza. Typical
viruses include rhinovirus, influenza.
Cigarette smoking
Air pollution
Passive smoking
General illness viz., obesity, alcoholism, HIV
positive patient
Symptoms
1. History: - The three most common symptoms in
chronic bronchitis are cough, sputum production,
and exertional dyspnoea. Although the
development of airflow obstruction is gradual
process, many patients date onset of their disease
to an acute illness or exacerbation. The
development of exertional dyspnoea, or gasping,
can be insidious.
2. Cough: - Constant paroxysmal, worse in winter
or on exposure to cold winds or sudden change of
temperature.
3. Shortness of breath: - Typically, shortness of
breath is worse on exertion of a prolonged
duration and worsen over a time. In the advance
stages, or end stage pulmonary disease, it occurs
during rest and may be always present.
4. Obstructive: - chocked up feeling, paroxysms of
dyspnoea particularly following spells of
coughing relieved with expectoration.
5. Chest tightness
6. Chest pain
7. Expectoration: - Variable, may be little, thin and
mucoid or thick or frothy, mucoid and sticky.
May become muco-purulent during attacks of
acute bronchitis in winter.
8. Haemoptysis: - In advance cases where gross
pathological changes occurred the fresh bouts of
blood come along with coughing.
9. Generalised symptoms viz., fever, malaise,
palpitation, weakness, giddiness, nausea etc…
Signs
1. Occasional rales and rhonchi
2. Wheezing sound on expiration
3. Crackles at lung base
4. Restlessness
5. Clubbing in extreme stages
6. Cyanosis in extreme stages
7. Unilateral diminished movement of chest.
Investigation
Clinical examination
RS findings:- bronchospasm along with occasional
wheezing sound on auscultation of affected lung
Thoraco-abdominal breathing type.
In severe cases Bronchial breathing is found
Dyspnoea: - It will be measured by modified
MRC dyspnoea scale.
Saturation of oxygen: - It is measure by pulse-
oximeter, and in severe cases it found below 90%
which is generally found 97 to 98% who has
healthy lungs
Tachycardia with Tachypnoea found
• Spirometry test
Laboratory investigation
CBC: - Leucocytosis with Neutrophilia and
Lymphocytosis
CRP: - It will high if case is of acute exacerbation
chronic bronchitis
ESR: - High
AEC: - To rule out allergic bronchitis and other
parasitic infection which may affect lung
S. IgE: - Moderately high
Diagnostic investigation
PFT: - Reduction in FEV1 and FEV1/FVC is
hallmark diagnostic criteria for acute bronchitis.
Sputum examination: - Neutrophilic granulocytes
• Radiological investigation
X-ray chest: - Hyper inflated lungs, flattened
diaphragm and increase retrosternal clear space.
Complication: -
Consolidation
Pneumothorax
Hydro-pneumothorax
Pleural effusion
Fibrosis of lung
MANAGEMENT:
1. TO REMOVE THE CAUSE IF POSSIBLE –
Air pollution, smoking. Elimination of aerosol sprays
such as deodorants, insecticides and hair sprays.
4. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470

Other preventive measures include early vaccination
against common influenza virus strains.
Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine should be
given only once because of danger of immunologic
reactions following repeated vaccination.
2. TO PREVENT ACUTE EXACERBATIONS –
By avoiding overheated rooms, damp and foggy
places, stuffy clothing, overfeeding, smoking and too
much alcohol. Long term treatment with tetracycline
group of drugs often produces striking improvement
in patients who have a purulent sputum.
3. TO TRY AND ARREST THE PROGRESS
OF THE CHRONIC DISEASE BY:
A. Increasing patient’s power of resistance – By
giving to debilitated persons abundant butter,
milk or cream, cheese and other fatty articles
of diet. Weight reducing measures if obesity.
B. Physical methods – Regular exercises in fresh
air and within limits of tolerance.
Encouraging deep breathing and efficient
clearance, coughing should follow a full
inspiration. If economic condition permits,
winter should be spent at warm resorts.
4. TO GIVE THE PATIENT AS MUCH
COMFORT AS POSSIBLE –
(a) Antitussives – such as linctus codeine if dry cough.
(b) Mucolyticsand inhalation of medicated steam. (c)
Expectorants – (i) Ammonium salts, bromhexine or
ambroxol in mixture form. (ii) Hot alkaline drink
HOMOEOPATHIC MANAGEMENT OF
BRONCHITIS
Homoeopathy is having much efficacy in treating
bronchitis because of its individualistic approach to
treat the sick with dynamic and potentised medicines.
