Question
My baby is 2 months old, and the doctor prescribed a pediatric Medicated Dophilus, recommending it be taken half an hour before feeding. But I forgot and fed her immediately after taking the medicine. Is there a problem with that? She often vomits and does so frequently, eating only small amounts each day, and she cries and fusses. She’s actually very hungry, and she also has hiccups. The doctor gave her pediatric Medicated Dophilus.
Answer
Medicated Dophilus is typically used to promote gastrointestinal motility and prevent vomiting. If the child eats immediately after taking Medicated Dophilus, it may affect the absorption and efficacy of the medication. It is recommended to take Medicated Dophilus half an hour before meals for optimal effect. Additionally, vomiting in infants can be caused by various reasons, including acute gastritis. Parents should closely monitor their child’s symptoms and seek medical treatment promptly to avoid administering medication without professional advice. The doctor will determine the cause of the vomiting based on the child’s specific condition and provide appropriate treatment recommendations.
