Antibiotics are essential medicines that help stop infections caused by bacteria and save lives by destroying or decreasing the growth of certain bacteria. The term antibiotic means «against life» and is used when we talk about medicine that kills germs. Different antibiotics are used to treat different infections and only a doctor can prescribe them.
When travelling, we want to enjoy the time we have off, not spend our days sitting on the toilet or lying in bed. Unfortunately, travellers' diarrhoea can put a spoke in our wheel and spoil an expensive and eagerly awaited holiday.
Defined as more than three loose or liquid stools a day, diarrhoea is one of the most common health problems affecting children worldwide.
Babies are born with an incomplete immune system. It is developed during the first three years of life and forms an important basis for a child’s health in the future. During this time, the child’s body learns to defend itself against harmful bacteria without harming itself with overreactions.
If a child is suffering from diarrhoea or vomiting, they should only take medication if prescribed by a doctor. However, parents can take steps to restore the balance in the little one’s intestinal flora by supplementing with BioGaia drops or tablets.
