Can children eat probiotics long-term?

Patient's question:

Can children take probiotics long-term? As a parent, I'm very worried, afraid that my child's condition will worsen. Regarding the question I just mentioned, I hope the doctor can answer.

Doctor's answer:

If there are symptoms of spleen deficiency, you can eat some Chinese yam, Poria, and white bean, etc., which are mild and help invigorate the spleen and eliminate dampness. To prevent your child from having diarrhea again, you can manage it through dietary therapy, a balanced diet, and moderate exercise, rather than relying solely on medication. Probiotics can be taken for a period of time to regulate the intestinal flora. It is recommended that you go to a large hospital for a check-up. Don't delay this any longer.
