Diet & Lifestyle Advise

Giving probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea.

  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your child’s diet. Fibre-rich foods can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your child’s diet.
