Dysbacteriosis in children - treatment for the first symptoms

In the human intestine, there are more than 500 species of microbes that create a suitable microflora. The main part of bifidobacteria lives in the large intestine. Thanks to their presence:

• A person is protected from pathogenic microorganisms by a thin film created by bifidobacteria;
• Microorganisms produce folic acid, pantothenic, vitamins of group B, PP, K, C;
• The microflora secretes substances that regulate metabolism and intestinal function;
• Participates in bile transfer.

To study the state of microflora:

• Carry out a biochemical analysis of the patient's stool;
• Coprologic analysis;
• Gastroscopy;
• Study on the bacteria of the intestine and bile.

Treatment of dysbiosis

If the child has a normal stool, it does not swell anddoes not hurt the stomach, then to expose the baby to all the said studies does not make sense. In such cases, when breastfeeding, doctors recommend changing the diet, not using products that cause allergies and discomfort. When you are breastfeeding, you should change the infant formula. It is also necessary to exclude the use of antibiotics, or to introduce the missing enzymes for the breakdown of food.

• Correction of biocenosis is handled by a specialist - gastroenterologist, pediatrician, infectious physician, allergist.
• There are a number of sour-milk products that can normalize the landscape of the intestinal microflora, which include: NAS, Lactofidus, Narine, Bifidok and others.
• As drugs used substances consisting of the necessary number of microorganisms - "Lactobacterin", "Linex", "Bifidobacterin", etc.

In cases when therapy with antibiotics is required, the treatment with probiotics is used to correct the microflora. Also read:
