Strengthening the Body to Resist Infections A Case of Recurrent Upper Respiratory Tract Infection
On a January morning, 12/01/25, 29-year-old Mr. A.F. walked into the Thane branch of Life Force Homeopathy (Patient ID:56641) with his father. While his father was already an existing patient under treatment for psoriasis, this was A.F.''s first visit, driven by months of frustration and recurring sickness that conventional medicine had failed to resolve. Mr. A.F. is a 29-year-old male who is currently working as an Assistant Manager at Lodha Group, Lower Parel, Mumbai. He has been living in India since 2023 after studying in Germany and Dubai. The patient shifted back to India in 2023, after which his complaints began due to climatic changes. It started subtly—just a bit of throat irritation. But the irritation would turn into post-nasal dripping, a blocked nose, and a dry cough that later developed into coughing with white phlegm. Every episode was accompanied by a low-grade fever hovering between 99 to 100 degrees. These symptoms began appearing once every two months, but by late 2024, the frequency had doubled.
Desperate for relief, A.F. found himself relying heavily on medications like Sinarest and Azee. He used them as a crutch—1 tablet a day during each episode, often paired with Otrivin nasal drops just to breathe easier.
Each episode would last nearly 10 to 15 days. He never developed headaches or severe breathing difficulties, but one episode even led to a mild ear infection. Still, these issues kept recurring
Progressive worsening of symptoms after settling in India. His case was meticulously studied: a history of surgery of cholecystectomy and adenoidectomy was done, a family background marked by chronic illnesses like asthma and cancer, and his father had psoriasis.
At Life Force Homeopathy, Dr Rajesh Shah''s Homeopathic Prescription was based on an individualized remedy selected based on classical case taking, and the totality of symptoms was considered along with his genetic link, aiming to enhance his immune system. A blood test was advised, a certain deficiency was found, and supplements were prescribed with regular follow-up were taken
