Use of homeopathic medicines for prevention and treatment of acute respiratory infections at home

Abstract

Acute infectious inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract are the most common reason for seeking pediatrician's aid globally. They account for over 85% of all visits to outpatient clinics and for 50% of all hospital admissions of children under 6 years [1]. By the beginning of the XXI century, more than 200 microorganisms were found to cause acute respiratory infections (ARI); these are encountered by people not once throughout their life, thus helping humans to acquire the specific immunity [2-4]. However, annual epidemics of influenza and other acute respiratory infections are characterized by severity and high mortality [1].
