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 probiotic called LGG (a type of good bacteria) helps children with sudden diarrhea from an infection feel better faster. It is for children who have had diarrhea for less than 48 hours and have not taken probiotics or antibiotics recently.
This trial tests whether a postbiotic (a product made from beneficial bacteria) called Lactéol® is safe for children with diarrhea who have weakened immune systems. It aims to help manage diarrhea and improve recovery.
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 study tests a new type of oral rehydration drink for children with diarrhea. It aims to help kids recover faster at home without needing a hospital stay.
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.
