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.
