Good morning. I have a question about a probiotic, specifically can an excess harm a child? And should I still give it to her for a week after the antibiotic treatment?
On 24.01-03.02 my 6-year-old daughter had an antibiotic and other medications, including a probiotic. I bought 4 lacti baby. On the packaging it said that 5 drops 1x a day (under 12 years old) and 2 times a day (over 12 years old), but when I gave my daughter prescription medication I made a mistake because the doctor wrote a probiotic 2 times a day. I didn't take a bath until Friday 02.02 and even then I gave her only one dose. But 8 days later she had a double dose. I didn't serve for the weekend, even though I should have another week, but I don't know if it won't hurt her more. The doctor has only been available since Monday.
I know it's just a probiotic, but it's the first time I've had this situation. I've read that excess can lead to side effects such as bloating, gas, stomach pain or even infections.
