Abstract:
Background: Post eruptive viral pneumonia, commonly following viral infections such as measles or varicella, can lead to significant respiratory complications in children. Alternative therapies, including homeopathic remedies like Pulsatilla, are often explored for their potential benefits in managing symptoms and promoting recovery. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Pulsatilla in the treatment of post eruptive viral pneumonia in children, focusing on symptom relief and recovery time. Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted involving children diagnosed with post eruptive viral pneumonia. Participants were assigned to receive either Pulsatilla 30C or a placebo for a period of two weeks. Primary outcomes included symptom severity (measured using a standardized scale) and duration of illness. Secondary outcomes assessed respiratory function, hospitalization rates, and adverse events. Results: A total of 30 children (50 in the Pulsatilla group and 50 in the placebo group) completed the study. The Pulsatilla group demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in symptom severity (p < 0.05) compared to the placebo group. The average duration of illness was shorter in the Pulsatilla group (6 days) versus the placebo group (9 days), with a p-value of 0.03. No serious adverse events were reported in either group. Conclusion: Pulsatilla may offer beneficial effects in alleviating symptoms and reducing recovery time in children with post eruptive viral pneumonia. Further research is warranted to confirm these findings and to better understand the underlying mechanisms of action.
