Evidence (grade C)

A Cochrane review found probiotics probably reduce the number of people with upper respiratory infections, with low-to-moderate certainty, and effects vary by strain ^[1]. NCCIH notes products may not contain what the label states and that probiotics can cause serious infections in premature infants and people with weakened immune systems ^[2].

Cautions

• Not for premature infants, children with weakened immune systems, central lines or serious illness.
• Do not mix into hot food, which can kill the bacteria.
• Keep out of reach of children. Store closed, away from heat.
• Do not exceed the label dose. Tell your pediatrician about every supplement and medicine your child takes.

Questions for your pediatrician

• Is a probiotic appropriate given my child's health history?
• Does my child need this, given their diet and growth?
• Is the label dose right for my child's age and weight?
• Could it interact with any medicine or condition my child has?
