Question
A mother inquires about the frequency of probiotic administration and when to discontinue for her 11-month-old child after 7 days of antibiotic treatment. The child is experiencing mild nausea and vomiting, and the mother has been giving probiotics and Jinlianhua supplements. The child still has a slight cough, and the mother asks whether she can give medication with dried grass and if nebulizer therapy is necessary.
Answer
It is recommended to stop administering probiotics to the child as probiotics aid in absorbing moisture from the stool. If the cough is not frequent, it is not advisable to use nebulizer inhalation therapy due to its significant side effects. For occasional coughs, consider giving the child oral Herba Fructus Monilia powder or Qingfei Liangxue Granules. These suggestions are provided for your assistance.
