Patient's question:
My baby has a bowel movement every three days. The doctor prescribed Bifidobacterium breve live tablets (Shuangshubao) - half a tablet each time, twice a day. I gave my baby the medication, and he had a bowel movement on the third day. I continued giving it for two more days and then stopped, afraid of creating dependency. Should the baby be able to take it regularly, or is it okay to take it for several consecutive days?Concern: Should the baby be able to take it regularly, or is it okay to take it for several consecutive days?
Doctor's answer:
You gave the baby the medicine for three days and it had a bowel movement, and it was fine after taking it for two more days. This effect is quite good, and it will be fine once you stop the medication! Additionally, taking it for a few days will not cause any dependency!Medical Advice: I think you should give the baby some foods with more fiber in the future, such as vegetable water, etc. Whole pieces will be fine. You didn't write the baby's age, but you mentioned "days," so they are probably very young and cannot eat whole pieces. They can only drink a lot of breast milk or formula!
Care Advice: Don't worry, the medication can be taken less frequently, and it's important to feed the baby on time!
