Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Generally antibiotics can alter the useful bacteria in the stomach. Therefore, it is advised to give your child foods rich in probiotics such as yoghurt/curd, buttermilk, and cheese.
  • Avoid foods rich in calcium, as it might hinder antibiotic absorption in your child.
  • If you have minor diarrhoea (less than four stools daily) drinking caffeine-free soft drinks, juices or sport rehydration drinks can be sufficient. 
  • If your child has diarrhoea is more severe, please consult your paediatrician immediately.
  • Make your child drink appropriate amounts of fluids to avoid dehydration.
