PERTUSSINUM - DL

Indication

Pertussinum is a specialized homoeopathic nosode derived from the Bordetella pertussis bacterium, the causative agent of Whooping Cough. It is highly useful in managing spasmodic, paroxysmal coughs, particularly in children. It is particularly indicated when coughing fits are severe, repetitive, and accompanied by retching, vomiting, or respiratory distress. Its action extends to the upper respiratory tract, offering relief in cases of tickling in the throat, flushing, choking, and deep croupy cough.
