Question
My child has been crying non-stop and not eating much lately. Can taking medicine harm a child’s kidneys?
Answer
Children’s internal organs are not fully developed, so medication should be used with caution. Overuse of medication may cause discomfort, so it is recommended to consult a pediatrician at a regular hospital and follow medical instructions for treatment. Medication should not be given arbitrarily, as it may have side effects. Typically, this situation may be due to a lack of probiotics in the baby’s body, leading to excessive growth of harmful bacteria and disrupting the balance of the intestinal flora, resulting in decreased appetite. Probiotics like Yitong can be given to the baby, which is a natural strain from New Zealand without side effects and can also enhance the baby’s immunity.
