Tips for treating children

An imbalance in the intestinal microflora in infants and young children is a global problem today. Before the birth of the child is in an ideal environment, his gastrointestinal tract does not contain any bacteria. At the time of birth, moving along the birth canal, the baby first comes into contact with the microflora of his mother, which ideally contains lactobacillus and bifidobacteria, E. coli. Further, when breastfeeding, hugs and kisses, the baby encounters various bacteria located on the skin in the mother's oral cavity. The baby's body is saturated with the microflora of its mother. In babies who are breastfed, the intestinal microflora ideally consists of almost a hundred percent probiotics.

With the appearance of negative factors, an imbalance in the intestine can occur, which leads to adverse consequences for the child. Disturbance of microflora can be caused by:

• Imperfections in the digestive system.
• Artificial feeding.
• Malnutrition.
• Changes in diet (cessation of breastfeeding).
• Diseases, prolonged treatment with antibiotics or forced use of hormonal and anti-inflammatory drugs.
• Mental and physiological overload, stress.
• Being in a confined space in a limited team (kindergarten, school, boarding school).
• Other problems.

Symptoms that indicate that the baby has a disturbed intestinal microflora are manifested in the following:

• diarrhea (diarrhea) or constipation, a change in the nature of the stool;
• bloating;
• poor weight gain or weight gain;
• decreased appetite;
• bad breath;
• increased salivation;
• thrush, stomatitis;
• itching and rash on the skin;
• fatigue and weakness.

Doctors distinguish four degrees of dysbiosis:

• The first degree is characterized by a decrease in the number of lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, as well as full-fledged E. coli up to eighty percent.
• The second degree of microflora disturbance is characterized by more serious violations of the composition of the intestinal flora. At this stage of the disease, a pronounced shortage of bifidobacteria is observed, and the active reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms begins to occur.
• The third degree is characterized by a constant increase in the number of harmful bacteria and disruption of the intestines.
• Digestive system disorders speak of the fourth degree, weight loss, pale skin, decreased appetite and diarrhea are observed. For children who are breastfed, normal yellow stools. Mucus and foam in the stool are considered an abnormality. Feeding stools for children may contain pieces of food.

Tests for dysbacteriosis in a breastfed infant include:

• a diagnosis that reveals the degree of digestion of the food by the gastrointestinal tract and the presence of inflammatory signs or, fortunately, their absence;
• a study revealing the percentage of obligate bacteria;
• tests that determine the ratio of normal and conditionally pathogenic flora and its sensitivity to various antibiotics, to identify an effective treatment regimen for the baby.

After prolonged use of antibiotics, Acipol is said to help fill up the deficiency of beneficial bacteria, stop diarrhea and other symptoms of dysbiosis. You can reduce the risk of an upset digestive system when taking medication by giving the drug with live bacteria to infants and older children, just one capsule per day.

"Acipol" for children, according to parents, is indispensable for disorders caused by intestinal infections. Pathogenic microbes that enter the child’s body through dirty hands and household items, as well as with poor-quality food, can provoke dysbiosis, which manifests itself in diarrhea, vomiting, and other symptoms. According to reviews, Acipol in case of diarrhea caused by intestinal infections helps to reduce the multiplication of pathogenic microbes and to reduce the duration of symptoms. The child's body is very susceptible to infections. The process of formation of the immune system occurs throughout the growing up of a small person. The Acipol preparation with live lactobacilli can help protect the body. Milk fungus helps to increase the resistance of the immune system due to increased production of lysozymes.

An symptom of an imbalance in the intestinal microflora can be an allergic reaction in the form of a rash and itching on the skin of a child. This reaction is caused by violations of the composition of the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract. An allergy, as a rule, causes a child discomfort. This is confirmed by numerous reviews. According to the instructions for Acipol (we'll talk about analogues of the drug later), the living beneficial bacteria that make up the product help to cope with the imbalance of microflora and reduce allergic manifestations, in particular dermatitis and itching.

Very often, during lactation, the lactase enzyme is not active enough, as a result of which lactose becomes an excellent medium for the propagation of harmful bacteria in the baby’s gastrointestinal tract. As a result, the baby has an imbalance in the intestinal microflora. This condition is accompanied by diarrhea, bloating, and regurgitation. The medicine "Acipol" helps prevent the development of dysbiosis. Milk fungus and bacteria contribute to the normalization of the intestines of the child.

Method of administration and dosage

According to reviews, Acipol capsules are used orally without chewing and drinking with water or breast milk. The dosage and duration of treatment is determined by the attending physician based on the age, severity and duration of the disease, the degree of dysbiosis.

According to reviews, the use of "Acipol" for children from three months to three years is recommended one capsule from two to three times a day with meals. The capsule must first be opened and its contents dissolved in water or milk. Older children and adults "Acipol" take one capsule three to four times a day for half an hour before eating. In acute intestinal infections, the medication is prescribed for five, maximum eight days. Longer doses of “Acipol” are prescribed in the treatment of children with weight loss caused by the severe course of chronic diseases, accompanied by an imbalance of microflora.

For prevention, “Acipol” is prescribed one capsule once a day for ten, maximum fifteen days. Repeat Acipol's methods can be done no more than once a month.
