Individualized homeopathic remedies were prescribed based on presenting symptoms and constitutional assessment. Outcomes were assessed using standardized symptom scores, frequency and intensity of episodes, and patient-reported improvement over the course of treatment. patients receiving homeopathic interventions showed noticeable improvement in respiratory symptoms such as cough, nasal congestion, sore throat, and breathing discomfort, along with a reduction in recurrence frequency. The potential supportive role of homeopathy in respiratory tract infections, especially in enhancing symptom control and patient comfort.
