Abstract

This observational study aims to evaluate the efficacy of homeopathic medicines in the management of acute pharyngitis. Acute pharyngitis, commonly caused by viral or bacterial infections, presents with symptoms such as sore throat, fever, and difficulty swallowing, significantly affecting patient quality of life. Despite the widespread use of conventional treatments, there is a growing interest in homeopathic remedies as a potential alternative. This trial involved a cohort of patients diagnosed with acute pharyngitis who received individualized homeopathic treatments based on their specific symptoms and constitutional type. Clinical outcomes were assessed using standardized symptom severity scales at baseline and follow-up visits. Data analysis focused on symptom resolution, patient-reported outcomes, and overall satisfaction with treatment. Preliminary results indicate a significant reduction in symptom severity and improvement in quality of life among participants receiving homeopathic interventions compared to standard care. These findings suggest that homeopathic medicines may offer a viable complementary approach to the management of acute pharyngitis, warranting further research to establish definitive therapeutic protocols and validate these observations.
