It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than know what sort of disease a person has –   Hippocrates-Father of Medicine

Most childhood ailments are very effectively and quickly treated with Homoeopathy without producing any side effects whatsoever. Unlike antibiotics and other allopathic medicines like antihistamines, decongestants and cough suppressants, the homeopathic medicines do not hamper digestion, make the child lethargic or lower body’s resistance. Children and babies respond very well to homeopathic treatment because they have not been exposed to as much conventional drug therapy as adults. Homeopathy helps to strengthen a child’s natural defenses and immunity.

Homeopathy is safe and effective in treating most childhood ailments, including Asthma, Anorexia (decreased appetite), Bedwetting, Behavioral disorders, Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders, Developmental or learning disorders, Ear infections, Frequent colds, Tonsillitis, Childhood infectious illnesses  such as chickenpox, mumps and measles, Ailments associated with Teething like diarrhea crankiness, Stammering and speech disorders, Poor nutrition and continued ill health as well as Failure to thrive.

Some children seem to be in a state of constant poor health and may have constant colds, ear infections or upper and lower respiratory infections. They may complain of poor energy levels and stamina. This may be the result of inherited susceptibilities, or even an adverse reaction to a vaccination. Homeopathy can help to strengthen the child’s natural defenses and immunity thereby restoring a state of good health and energy.

Childhood behavioral problems, including hyperactivity, short attention span, and poor concentration, lack of confidence, intense shyness, anxiety, severe temper tantrums, or antisocial behavior can be successfully treated homeopathically. Professional homeopathic practitioners will choose the correct homeopathic medicine to bring your child back into balance and allow natural healing. The correct Homeopathic remedy can produce a profound improvement in a child’s health and well-being.

Most of the childhood colds, sore throats, runny noses and bronchitis are caused by viruses and therefore antibiotics if taken will only increase the chances of catching a resistant infection later. Here is an informative link from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention
