General information on bladder and urinary tract problems and cystitis
If your child feels a frequent urge to urinate and it burns when urinating, this can be a sign of the beginning of a bladder or urinary tract infection. Now it is important that your child drinks a lot (preferably warm bladder-kidney teas) so that the inflammation does not rise in the direction of the kidneys. Solidago D3 and Berberis D3 can help with drainage, detoxification and flushing of the urine volume (take five times a day for two to four weeks). In addition, sitz baths with chamomile or hay flower soothe the irritated urinary tract from the outside. In the children’s diseases dictionary you can find out more about the causes and symptoms of bladder infections.
Homeopathy for cystitis
The following table includes the most common forms of cystitis and possible combinations with other symptoms. The table lists which homeopathic remedy is recommended in these cases. Since bladder and urinary tract problems can also occur in combination with many other symptoms, it only contains the most common ones. You can find compact information about other symptoms and how they can be treated with homeopathic remedies in Sven Sommer’s guide “Homeopathy for Children”.
If the acute symptoms do not improve quickly, or if your child also gets fever, back or abdominal pain (suspected kidney infection), then you should call a doctor or alternative practitioner.
