Patient's question:
A baby born over 20 days ago has granular stools. Can they eat probiotics?Past treatment and effectiveness:
Previously, the baby's stool was tested at the hospital, and the fat droplets were rated as+++ by the doctor. The doctor said it was due to the parents eating too oily food, causing indigestion in the baby. They prescribed a probiotic (Bifidobacterium) and have been taking it for five days, but it has not been effective.
What kind of help is needed:
Is probiotics more effective for digestive issues in such a young baby? How should probiotics be taken? How much should be taken per dose? How many times a day should they be taken?
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, probiotics are also drugs that can adjust the intestinal flora and can be taken. Suggestions: Since the originally prescribed bifidobacteria didn't work, you can switch to probiotics. A one-month-old baby can take 1/4 of a bag at a time, three times a day. The above is the advice for the question "Can a 20-day-old baby with digestive problems eat probiotics?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
