Children are most sensitive and purest gift of mankind. They require rapid, gentle and permanent cure for their small and big ailments.
Homeopathy uses medicines prepared from natural substances that are ‘similar to the illness’ unlike conventional medicines which treats and often suppresses the patient’s symptoms. Prescribed on its basic fundamental laws, Homeopathy is much safer and quicker than other modes of treatment.
The most common pediatric ailments which keep the parents sleepless / awake at nights, worrying about their children are:-
• Recurrent infections (Tonsillitis, Adenoids, Diarrhea etc)
• Delayed milestones
• Dentition problems
• Behavioral disorders
• Bed-wetting
• Stammering
• Skin diseases
• Worm infestations
Recurrent infections:
Includes fevers, Tonsillitis, Adenoiditis, Diarrhea, worms, respiratory allergies etc. All of these are due to low immune status of the child. Weak resistance of the child makes him prone to infections. Homeopathy can do wonders by enhancing the immunity level and make him more resistant to morbific agents.
Delayed Milestones and Growth retardation:
Includes late learning to walk, talk, general retardation of growth, learning disabilities etc. Barring genetic causes, there are various environmental factors like nutrition, recurrent infections, insecure family circumstances, lack of proper love etc can hamper the normal growth of a child.
Behavioral disorders:
Parental disharmony, lack of proper love and care, domination, over protection; neonatal insults may lead to hyper anxiety states; maladjustment at school, with parents and siblings; temper tantrums; attention deficit disorders; sleep and appetite disturbances, stammering and bedwetting in children.
By taking into account of the patient as a whole and not just the illness, Homeopathy simultaneously confronts the symptoms, the patient’s constitution and even his psychological and emotional reactions.
A carefully selected medicine based on this holistic approach cures all the above mentioned diseases of children and many more.
So crux is, if you were to compare a patient with a locked safe and medicine as a key, then a Homeopathic consultation is like finding the right key and opening the door.
Child Asthma
Asthma is the most common serious chronic childhood disease. It is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lungs and airways — the tubes that bring air to the lungs. If your baby has asthma, these airways are irritated and swollen, and produce more mucus which narrows these breathing tubes and can affect his ability to breathe and lead a normal, healthy life. He may breathe rapidly, cough, wheeze, or whistle as his breath is forced through the narrowed airways.
Exposure to allergens such as pollens, or animal dander can trigger or worsen symptoms in some children with asthma. This condition is referred to as allergic asthma. Other possible triggers include cold air, viral infections (such as the common cold), tobacco smoke, and other air pollutants. Some children only get attacks when they have a cold or other upper respiratory infection, while others have an attack after coming into contact with an allergen or with cigarette smoke.
If the child often coughs and wheezes after running or playing etc, he may have what's called exercise-induced asthma.
SYMPTOMS:
During an asthmatic attack, the child may breathe rapidly, cough, wheeze, or whistle .It can be noticed as child’s nostrils flare, the skin around his ribs suck in with each breath, or his skin start to turn blue. Serious symptoms of attack need immediate medical attention.
Other conditions like a viral respiratory infection can also cause wheezing or wheezing-like sounds. However, if the child coughs frequently and has allergies or eczema, and if there is a family history of asthma and allergies or eczema, there’s a good chance that your child can develop asthma. Children who were exposed just before or after birth to tobacco smoke are also more prone to asthma.
HOMOEOPATHIC APPROACH
Some systems of medicine advocate Anti-histamines to cure the all forms of allergies. Homoeopathy believes that such drugs merely suppress or palliate the allergy and rarely cure it.
Homoeopathy is a science that does not depend only on the diagnosis of the diseases. For most of the other therapeutic sciences treatment depends only on diagnosis. In Homeopathy equal importance is given to the patient as well as his suffering. This means when other sciences aim at treating Disease in Man, Homoeopathic science at the very inception, has been devised to treat the Man in disease. In simple terms Homeopathy aims to treat the inner man that is his immune system thereby treating the root cause of his disease, which is a weak immune system. The system of homoeopathy works on the principle of taking every patient as a different entity with different medicine based on the symptoms therefore, a doctor should be consulted before taking medicines.
Children Allergies
An allergy is a basic hypersensitiveness, it is a reaction of the immune system to various environmental triggers like pollens, molds etc, which do not bother most other people.Children who have allergies often are sensitive to more than one thing.
If the child is having cold like symptoms — runny nose, watery eyes, cough, nasal congestion, sneezing etc for more than a week to ten days , he is most likely suffering from allergy.
SYMPTOMS OF ALLERGY
Nasal allergy (Allergic rhinitis):
Child always has stuffy or running nose.
Child is constantly rubbing, wiggling or wiping the nose
The mucus that drains from child’s nose is clear and thin (unlike yellow greenish and thick in common cold)
Child sneezes a lot
Eyes (Allergic conjunctivitis):
There is itching, redness and watering of the eyes..
The skin under the eyes may look dark, purple or blue.
Airways:
Child may suffer from dry cough, wheezing and difficulty in breathing (dyspnoea), and sometimes-outright attacks of asthma

Skin:
Allergic symptoms of skin presents as various rashes like eczema, hives( urticaria), irritation, itchy, broken red skin.
Head:
Headaches though uncommon but sometimes occur due to allergies.
CAUSES
As mentioned above an allergy is a reaction of the immune system to an environmental substance. When a child suffering from allergy comes into contact with these substances, known as an allergen — either by touching, breathing, eating, or having it injected, it acts as a triggering agent, which excites the immune system to release histamines and other chemicals as a reaction. These chemicals irritate the body and cause symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, itching, and coughing etc
Allergens: The most common allergens are: dust, woolens, molds, pollens, animal dander, perfumes, various foods like shellfish, peanuts, eggs, milk, wheat etc.
