Children's Health — Homeopathy, Pune
It is quiet well known that homeopathy is very effective for acute viral, bacterial and respiratory infections, skin infections, cough, colds and allergies in children — even babies. Dr. Anshita Singh Rathore's clinic has 19+ years of experience helping children build genuine immunity rather than suppressing their natural defences.

When a child gets a common cold, the typical response is an antihistamine syrup (Sinarest, Montair, Maxtra). The cold seems to improve — but within 24–48 hours, coughing develops. If the child is allergic, chest congestion or wheezing follows.
The next step is nebulisation with Levolin / Asthalin (antiallergic) and Budecort (steroid). If that doesn't resolve it, more antiallergic syrups follow — then puffers and inhalers.
This is the story of every third child these days.
Tired and stressed parents come to homeopathy after months or even years of this cycle.
Homeopathic medicines for even a common cold are prescribed based on:
Every child's cold is different — the specific symptoms guide the remedy, not a standard protocol.
The child's overall health, temperament and sensitivity determine the best constitutional approach.
Previous illness patterns, allergies and family history are all relevant to treatment.
What triggers the child's susceptibility? Weather, allergens, emotional upsets? All are considered.
Homeopathic medicines do not suppress the immune response. They help the immune system fight off the infection — so the case doesn't worsen and recovery is faster, without the complication of chest congestion. For allergic children prone to wheezing, attacks can be prevented or managed with simple sweet pills that children love.
Fever is a friend, not an enemy. It helps fight infections by stimulating the production of protective antibodies. Most fevers are managed with homeopathy, fluids, rest and sponging. Where temperature is high, we encourage parents to use conventional medicines like paracetamol or Meftal-P sparingly as needed — but not routinely as the first resort.
Diarrhoea and vomiting — and the dehydration that follows — are well managed with homeopathy alongside an appropriate diet and ORS (oral rehydration salts) as needed.
The only thing important in a child's treatment is trust and compliance by parents. The child is at their parents' mercy. Three things depend entirely on parents:
Children with poor nutritional status visit doctors more frequently. Identifying deficiencies and correcting them with homeopathy, supplements and diet is an important part of our approach. At Dr. Rathore's Homeopathy, detailed diet advice and guidance on food allergens is provided to both parents and children — something many clinics miss.
Immunity boosters are not just for children. Sick or stressed parents are a source of infection to their children. Staying healthy as a family is the goal.
Yes. Tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy is an extremely common and stressful issue for children and parents. It causes significant breathing and sleep problems, with many missed school days. Homeopathy provides non-surgical treatment that has been found extremely helpful in the majority of cases.
Absolutely. Homeopathic sweet pills dissolve easily and are gentle, with no side effects. They are safe from birth and are especially useful for colic, digestive issues, skin rashes and common colds in the early months.
Yes. UTIs are very common and difficult to treat in young girls and babies. Homeopathy responds very well to recurring UTI patterns and is particularly effective in breaking the cycle of repeated infections.
