Antibiotic side effects cause diarrhea in children

Antibiotics are very effective in treating bacterial infections, however, antibiotics kill both good and bad bacteria. Antibiotics can cause damage to the intestinal microflora, causing discomfort such as abdominal pain, occasional diarrhea, or constipation. Studies show that up to 80% of children experience diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms after taking antibiotics, compared with 49% of adults.

The intestinal microecological imbalance caused by antibiotics will last for a long time, and the recovery time can be as long as 4 years. After the intestinal beneficial bacteria of children under 3 years old are eliminated by antibiotics, there is a chance that they will not recover.
