Top Homeopathic Remedies for Whooping Cough Relief

Whooping cough also known as pertussis is marked by a severe hacking cough followed by a characteristic high-pitched intake of breath that sounds like "whoop."It is a highly contagious respiratory tract infection. As per JAMA Pediatrics, despite the large amount of clinical research on whooping cough, no curative treatment of the disease has yet been discovered. It adds ‘the common treatment for whooping cough is mainly symptomatic and consists of ordinary nursing’

However Homeopathy offers specific therapy remedies like Pertussin and Drosera that is directed at the aetiologies and pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for this type of cough

1. Pertussin 200 - Start treatment with this remedy. It may cure or cut short the disease
2. Drosera 30 - Almost specific for whooping cough. Spells of hacking followed by vomiting if the mucus does not come up, worse after midnight. Whooping cough spells or bouts usually last a few minutes at a time and tend to be more common at night
