        It definitely is. Homoeopathy is a science based on sound logic and vast experimental data. Homoeopathy is the only medicinal science where data has been collected by proving on human beings and not on animals because human beings can communicate their actual feelings during the testing while animals cannot. The principles of Homoeopathy have been derived and authenticated by vast clinical experiments and data. The Homoeopathic medicines are prepared in a standardized manner.

Wheezing and congestion of chest are symptoms of the disease but for the selection of the remedy the important symptom is 'relief by throwing head backwards'.

The pathological investigations are also important to judge the improvement, know disease diagnosis and the prognosis.
