Question
If a child has poor digestive function, does that mean they should take probiotics? Can they take them for a while? Can probiotics improve the situation? Are there any better options than this medication?
Answer
Children with poor digestive function can consider starting with dietary adjustments, such as proper feeding and avoiding overeating to prevent indigestion, while ensuring the child consumes enough water. Additionally, increasing the child’s physical activity can help strengthen the spleen and stomach functions. If medication is needed, probiotics are one option; the Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus strains in probiotics can help maintain normal physiological flora, inhibit harmful bacteria, promote the absorption and digestion of nutrients, reduce the production and digestion of intestinal toxins, and achieve the goal of adjusting imbalances in intestinal flora.
