Abstract
The use of homeopathy in treating childhood and adolescence ailments has been a topic of considerable interest and debate. the existing evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of homeopathic treatments for common pediatric conditions. We systematically searched databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs), observational studies, and meta-analyses that investigated homeopathic interventions in children and adolescents. The conditions examined include acute respiratory infections, otitis media, ADHD, and diarrhea. Our findings indicate that while some studies report positive outcomes, the overall quality of evidence is varied, with many trials having methodological limitations such as small sample sizes and lack of blinding. Despite these limitations, homeopathy is generally considered safe, with minimal reported adverse effects. The need for more rigorous, large-scale studies to better determine the role of homeopathy in pediatric care. Until such evidence is available, homeopathy should be considered a complementary approach, and decisions regarding its use should be made on a case-by-case basis, considering the individual needs and preferences of patients and their families.
