Yes, you can safely give Econorm (which contains the probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii) to your 10-year-old daughter to help soothe her loose stools. For a child weighing 25 kg, one sachet mixed with water or juice once or twice daily is a typical supportive dose. However, because she also has stomach pain, it is very important to consult her pediatrician for a proper evaluation to find the exact cause. Please ensure she stays well-hydrated with plenty of fluids or an oral rehydration solution.

It is quite common for children to have mild loose stools after recovering from viral infections like COVID-19, as the gut can take some time to heal. This can be a temporary post-viral effect or mild indigestion. Econorm (a probiotic) helps restore her healthy gut bacteria, and Lanzol Junior (lansoprazole) manages stomach acid. While she recovers, please watch for warning signs like persistent vomiting, high fever, blood in her stool, extreme lethargy, or signs of dehydration like a dry mouth and decreased urination. If you notice any of these, or if the loose stools persist, please consult your pediatrician.

Since his stools still contain slimy mucus and foam after several doses of Oflomac Forte (ofloxacin) and probiotics (Entroflora and Econorm), it is best to start the newly prescribed Metrogyl (metronidazole) now as advised by his doctor. Metrogyl targets specific infections causing mucus and foamy stools that the previous medicine may not cover. Please ensure he stays well-hydrated with Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) and plenty of fluids. If he becomes very lethargic, vomits repeatedly, or shows signs of dehydration, please consult his doctor immediately.

Econorm contains Saccharomyces boulardii, a helpful probiotic. For a 5-month-old, you can typically dissolve half a sachet in a small amount of breast milk, formula, or room-temperature water once or twice daily, as advised by your pediatrician. Avoid using hot liquids, as heat can destroy the active yeast. Ensure your baby stays well-hydrated with regular breastfeeds or formula. Since babies can dehydrate quickly, please consult your pediatrician to confirm the exact dosage and ensure your little one is recovering well.

I understand it can be worrying when your little one has watery stools. For your 22-month-old baby, you can mix one sachet of Econorm (Saccharomyces boulardii) with about 15 to 30 ml (1 to 2 tablespoons) of room-temperature water, breast milk, or formula. Please ensure the liquid is not hot, as heat can destroy the active beneficial yeast in the probiotic. Stir it well and feed it to your baby immediately. It is also very important to keep your baby hydrated with oral rehydration solutions. If the watery stools persist for more than 24 hours, please consult your pediatrician. You are doing a wonderful job!

An increase to 7 to 8 stools a day can be a sign of mild diarrhea in a formula-fed infant, even if the stools still look yellow and seedy. Econorm (which contains the probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii) is often used to help restore gut health, but it is highly recommended to consult your pediatrician before giving any medication or supplement to a six-month-old. For now, please ensure your baby stays well-hydrated by continuing regular formula feeds. Watch closely for signs of dehydration, such as fewer wet diapers or dry lips, and have your pediatrician evaluate them to ensure they recover safely.
