The WHO considers childhood diarrhea to be the number one public health problem in the world today. Acute diarrhea is the leading cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality worldwide. Homeopathy is one of the most popular of complementary and alternative therapies due to its moderate cost and relatively few side effects. Based on previous studies, homeopathy did show a significant difference in the number of stools on the 3rd day of treatment. If homeopathy was shown to be effective in reducing the duration of childhood diarrhea, it could have a positive effect on pediatric morbidity and mortality.
