description Many years of experience in the use of homeopathic medicines in the treatment and prevention of respiratory diseases has been accumulated in Russia; it testifies to the effectiveness of their use in pediatrics.Materials and methods. The results of a multicenter open randomized observation on the effectiveness of the homeopathic medicine Oscillococcinum® in the treatment of influenza and other acute respiratory diseases in children aged 6 to 12 years are presented.Results. It was shown that short-term (within 4 days from the onset of the disease) administration of the drug according to the standard scheme leads to a persistent improvement in clinical symptoms already on the 4th day of illness in most children (88.66%). Symptoms of intoxication, such as weakness, headache, temperature reaction are recorded by the 14th day of the disease in only 2—4% of cases. Catarrhal symptoms stop by the end of the second week of the disease in most children. Only 1 adverse event was identified associated with the course of the underlying disease.
