Is it true that if a child has poor digestive function, they should take probiotics?

Patient's question:

Is it true that if a child has poor digestive function, they should take probiotics? Can they take them for a period of time? Can probiotics improve it? Are there any medications that are more effective than this?

Doctor's answer:

If a child has poor digestive function, it is important to feed them appropriately. Let the child eat as much as they can, to prevent overeating, and at the same time, pay attention to giving them plenty of water. This can increase the child's activity level, thereby improving their spleen and stomach function.
1. You can give the child probiotics, which contain two types of live bacteria—Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus. These can directly digest normal physiological bacteria in the gut, inhibit pathogenic bacteria, enhance the absorption and transformation of nutrients, and prevent the production and transformation of enterogenic toxins. This helps to achieve the goal of rebalancing the intestinal flora.
