This study tests whether giving a probiotic (a type of healthy yeast) called Saccharomyces boulardii can prevent diarrhea that often happens when children take the antibiotic co-amoxiclav. If your child is taking this antibiotic for a respiratory infection, this probiotic might help keep their stomach and digestion normal.
This trial tests whether a supplement (lactoferrin and lysozyme) can help children who have long-term effects after diarrhea. It’s designed for children ages 6 to 24 months and checks whether improving gut recovery can reduce ongoing problems.
This trial tests whether a probiotic (Bifidobacterium breve PRL2020) can reduce antibiotic-related side effects like diarrhea and stomach upset in children aged 3 to 12 years taking amoxicillin or amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. If effective, it may help children feel better while on antibiotics.
This study tests whether a yeast supplement called Saccharomyces boulardii can help children aged 6 months to 5 years recover faster from acute diarrhea. If effective, it may reduce the duration of diarrhea and help children feel better sooner.
