Diet & Lifestyle Advise

Give probiotics after completing the full course to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like cheese, yoghurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, and kimchi can help to restore the good bacteria of the intestine.
Include fibre-rich foods, as they 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.
Make sure your child drinks plenty of water or other fluids every day.
