Question

Can infants take the Bacillus subtilis Bifidobacterium Combination Live Culture Granules? Previous treatment situation and effectiveness: I went to the hospital and checked my stool, saying there was inflammation and took medicine, but it didn’t help much with the diarrhea. What kind of help do I need? If it can be taken by a four-month-old baby, what is the dosage?

Answer

A four-month-old baby experiencing nausea and vomiting again is more likely due to physiological diarrhea, which is often related to breastfeeding. Here are some suggestions:

  1. Proper breastfeeding (pay attention to the mother not to stop using cold foods, take appropriate rest, and enhance nipple hygiene).
  2. It’s possible that the baby has lactose intolerance. You can add a small amount of formula milk.
  3. Probiotics can be used; take half a packet each time, twice a day. This medication should be a live culture preparation, and do not place this product in high temperatures. The water temperature when dissolving should not be lower than 40°C.
  4. It is recommended to delay complementary feeding. If you want to start normal complementary feeding, start with porridge.
