One of the top worries among parents is that their children will get sick, and when the winter flu and cold season hits, illnesses can pop up more frequently.
As one of the safest choices for self-treatment, homeopathic medicines offer parents another choice. Why? These medicines:
- Do not cause drowsiness or jitteriness in children,
- Have no known interactions with other medication,
- Donโt mask symptoms (allowing doctors and patients to easily detect and respond to symptoms of serious illnesses should they arise), and
- Are not body-mass dependent (so thereโs no need to give more or less medicine depending on body weight)
