Can newborns take one tablet at a time when taking medication?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, if a newborn gets sick and takes pills, can they eat one at a time? Is there any problem?

Doctor's answer:

The medication you mentioned is used for intestinal dysfunction caused by intestinal flora imbalance, such as mild acute diarrhea. The method of taking this medication is oral administration. For adults, it is taken once orally, one to two tablets, three times a day. For infants and young children, it is important to take the medication with caution to avoid illness and use it as little as possible. If medication is necessary, it is essential to consult a doctor or a professional pharmacist. When administering medication to babies, the dosage should be appropriately reduced.
