Abstract
Acute Bronchitis develops due to inflammation of bronchioles, bronchi and trachea. It is an infectious disease mainly caused by viruses. Small children are at particular risk of getting infections because of smaller size of airways, lesser capacity of lungs to expel and due to developing state of Innate and Natural Acquired Immunity. Repeated upper respiratory tract infections in children with low immunity often leads to lower respiratory tract infections. There is notable increase in incidence of acute bronchitis in children especially in months of winter because dry air of winter help in easy spread of viruses. Respiratory mucosa also becomes dry due to inhaling dry air which may be polluted in the absence of rain. Dryness of mucosa is ineffective in eradication of the viruses because viruses can only be trapped by mucosal cells in the presence of mucus. Protective mechanism of sneezing or coughing is also compromised in winter because dry air lacks water molecules which are required for the act of sneezing and coughing. For a clinically diagnosed case of Acute Bronchitis, Murphy repertory has given 09 medicines which includes Antimonium tartaricum, Bryonia, Dulcamara, Ferrum Phosphoricum, Ipecac, Kalicarbonicum, Natrum Arsenicum, Phosphorus and Silicea which requires further elaboration on their differential diagnosis.
