All The Things You Thought Homoeopathy Couldn’t Treat.

Eating Disorders

Over Eating

Overeating can lead to weight gain. Children who are overweight or have obesity are at risk for serious health problems as they get older, including: Heart disease. Diabetes.

Under Eating

Some kids may have an overall lack of interest in eating and have a very low appetite or find eating minimally rewarding or not at all.

Constipation / Diarrhea

Constipation generally means passing fewer than three stools a week or having a difficult time passing stool. Constipation is fairly common. A lack of dietary fiber, fluids and exercise can cause constipation. But other medical conditions or certain medicines may be the cause.

Diarrhea is when your stools are loose and watery. You may also need to go to the bathroom more often. Short-term (acute) diarrhea lasts 1 or 2 days. Long-term (chronic) diarrhea lasts several weeks. Diarrhea symptoms may include belly cramps and an urgent need to go to the bathroom.

Allergies

A food allergy is an uncommon immune reaction to a specific food. It is not the same as food intolerance. Food allergies may affect the immune system, resulting in symptoms in your kid that vary from unpleasant to life-threatening. Food intolerance has little effect on the immune system. Allergic rhinitis is an allergic reaction to allergens (small particles in the air) which when inhaled trigger the release of histamine (a natural molecule) in the body. Allergic rhinitis is caused by a variety of indoor and outdoor allergens.

Asthma

Asthma is a long-term (chronic) lung disease that affects your airways. Your airways are the tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. When you have asthma, you can’t get air into your lungs because your airways swell and get too narrow. Like a pinched straw, this makes it hard for you to breathe, which can cause wheezing, coughing and chest tightness. Certain triggers can set off or worsen these symptoms, causing an asthma attack. Attacks can come on fast or develop slowly, and they may be life-threatening.

Epilepsy

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis, often referred to as eczema, is a chronic (long-lasting) disease that causes inflammation, redness, and irritation of the skin. It is a common condition that usually begins in childhood; however, anyone can get the disease at any age.

Worms

Roundworm infection is a type of parasitic illness. This is an illness in which an organism lives inside the body of another creature. It’s caused by a type of roundworm. The worms live and grow inside the body and may cause symptoms.

Behavioural Disorder

ADHD

ADHD, commonly known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a behavior condition that affects children and is marked by inattention, impulsivity, and, in some cases, hyperactivity. According to studies about 4% to 12% of children have ADHD. Boys are more likely to have ADHD than girls.

Autism

Autism spectrum disorder is a condition in which a person has a problem with social interaction and communication. It is a brain development condition in which the person displays repetitive behavioral patterns. Autism spectrum condition manifests itself in early childhood and eventually creates difficulties in social, academic, and occupational functioning. While there is no cure for autism spectrum condition, early intervention can make a significant impact on the lives of many children.

LD

Having a learning disorder means that a child has difficulty in one or more areas of learning, even when overall intelligence or motivation is not affected. Some of the symptoms of learning disorders are. Difficulty telling right from left. Reversing letters, words, or numbers, after first or second grade.

Growth Disorder

Childhood Obesity

Childhood obesity is a condition where excess body fat negatively affects a child’s health or well-being. As methods to determine body fat directly are difficult, the diagnosis of obesity is often based on BMI. Due to the rising prevalence of obesity in children and its many adverse health effects it is being recognized as a serious public health concern.The term overweight rather than obese is often used when discussing childhood obesity, as it is less stigmatizing, although the term overweight can also refer to a different BMI category.The prevalence of childhood obesity is known to differ by sex and gender.

Over / Under Growth

Some children may be abnormally tall for their age from an early, rapid development of puberty or from an excess production of the growth hormone by the pituitary gland. These and other more rare conditions can stimulate growth, particularly of the jaw and the long bones of the arms and legs.

Under growth is poor or abnormally slow height or weight gains in a child younger than age 5. This may just be normal, and the child may outgrow it. The range of toddler development is from 1 to 3 years of age.

Dentitional Disorder

The development of deciduous teeth begins while the baby is in the womb. At about 5 weeks’ gestation, the first buds of the deciduous teeth develop in the baby’s jaws. At birth, the baby has all their deciduous teeth (10 in the upper jaw, 10 in the lower jaw) and some permanent teeth developing in the jaws. Deciduous teeth are also known as baby teeth, milk teeth, first teeth, or primary teeth.
Caring for deciduous teeth is as important as caring for permanent teeth. They allow children to chew food comfortably and speak properly, while reserving the spaces in the jaws for future adult teeth.
