Asking for Self, Male, 1 years old, Lahore
Aoa Please suggest my baby is 12 months old and on antibiotics co amoxiclav I have read on the internet that probiotics must be started during antibiotics course Please guide me about this And which probiotics
Assalamualaikum,
A 12-month-old baby on antibiotics does not always need probiotics. Sometimes antibiotics can affect gut bacteria, and probiotics may help in certain cases, but they are not required for every child.
It is always best to consult the pediatrician before starting any probiotics, as the type, dose, and need depend on the specific antibiotic and your child’s condition.
* Continue the prescribed antibiotic as advised.
* Keep your baby well-hydrated and provide a healthy diet.

short course of antibiotics therapy dsnt need proor prebiotics
not necessarily
probiotics means they are promoting growth of good bacteria and antibiotics means they are against the bacteria.how could they be used simultaneously.its better to give multivitamins rather than probiotics
Give Enterogermina Ampoule 01 daily for 03 to 05 days.
A small ampoule to be given all at one time ,tasteless..Otherwise looses efficacy.

Good Parents.
Walaikum us salam
I appreciate your deep understanding that Antibiotics kill good bacteria too.
What's your baby is suffering from?
Chest Infection?
I am dealing with infections diseases by diagnosing root cause.
If you will suppress the bacteria or virus it will again attack when immunity will go down especially in next winter.
So treat the root cause for permanent solution brother. ?
May Allah Almighty bestow him a healthy long life.
