A retrospective study on urinary tract infection treated with homoeopathic remedies in paediatric age group”- case series

Introduction: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most prevalent infectious disorders worldwide, impacting 150 million individuals annually and carrying a high risk of morbidity and expensive medical expenses. These infections can arise in the urethra (urethritis), bladder (cystitis), or kidneys (pyelonephritis). UTIs lower a patient's quality of life by negatively affecting their social and relationship lives. Summary: The study reveals that urinary tract infections are more common in children aged 1-10 years, with 5 cases showing marked improvement, 3 moderately improving, and 2 mildly improving. Homoeopathic medicines showed better improvement in over half of the cases, confirming their efficacy in treating urinary tract infections. Conclusion: Urinary tract infections are common in paediatrics, particularly in children under lower socio-economic status. Homoeopathy is effective for long-term treatment, but modern medicine can negatively impact children's health. Merc SOL 200 is a specific remedy, but patients should not neglect symptoms, as neglecting them may lead to chronic conditions. Proper hygiene is also crucial alongside proper medication.
