Question
My daughter is 22 months old. Since birth, her eczema has been severe whenever the weather turns cold, affecting her face, neck, and buttocks. Now that the weather is cooling down again, I’m worried her eczema might flare up. Can she take probiotics? Can taking probiotics reduce the likelihood of her eczema recurring? She had an intussusception a few days ago, which has now been resolved, but she currently has gastroenteritis. Can she take probiotics? Thank you.
Answer
Probiotics can be taken to alleviate the symptoms of gastroenteritis and promote digestive system health. For eczema, if the condition is not severe, no treatment may be necessary; if it is severe, you can apply Alocort cream or Eucerin cream externally twice a day.
