Question
How should probiotic capsules be administered to infants?
Answer
For infants, probiotic capsules should not be given directly. It is recommended to remove the contents and dilute the medication according to the instructions before administration. Generally, it is not advisable for children under two years old to take such medications unless prescribed by a doctor. If necessary, the dosage should be adjusted according to the doctor’s instructions. Additionally, when infants experience indigestion or diarrhea, appropriate probiotics can be considered to aid digestion and absorption. If the infant has green stools, it may be a sign of indigestion, and parents should pay attention and consult a doctor in a timely manner.
