Cold & Coryza in Children

Understanding Recurrent Cold in Children

Many parents worry when their child suffers from frequent cough, cold, and coryza. Recurrent cold in children is common due to low immunity, seasonal changes, allergies, or exposure to infections at school. While conventional medicine often provides only temporary relief, Homeopathy offers a gentle, safe, and long-term solution.

• Why Children Get Recurrent Coryza? (Pathological Factors)
• Immature immunity → repeated viral susceptibility
• Close contact in schools/daycare → rapid spread
• Allergic hypersensitivity → nasal mucosa reacts excessively to dust, pollen, weather changes
• Nutritional deficiencies → weak immune response
• Environmental irritants → pollution, smoke

🩺 Symptoms of Recurrent Coryza in Children

• Continuous sneezing and runny nose
• Blocked nose with difficulty in breathing
• Cough, throat irritation, or post-nasal drip
• Watery eyes and mild fever
• Irritability, loss of appetite, and disturbed sleep

🌿 Role of Homeopathy in Recurrent Cold

• Homeopathy does not just suppress symptoms. It works by:
  Strengthening the immune system
• Reducing frequency and intensity of colds
• Addressing the root cause (allergy, low immunity, hypersensitivity)
• Providing safe treatment without side effects
• Suitable for infants, toddlers, and school-going children
