Econorm contains Saccharomyces boulardii, a beneficial yeast, while Enterogermina contains Bacillus clausii, a different probiotic bacteria. While both are generally safe for toddlers and help soothe diarrhea, they are not exact substitutes because they contain different active organisms. Before making the switch, please consult your pediatrician to ensure it is suitable for his recovery. In the meantime, you can try mixing the prescribed Econorm sachet into a small amount of room-temperature water, milk, or yogurt to make it easier for him to swallow.
