Abstract
Almost all antibiotics can cause diarrhea, but the risk
is especially high with the medications used to treat ear
infections and colds. Diarrhea caused by antibiotics can occur
even up to two months after using the medications. Recent studies
have suggested that probiotics, which are healthy live bacteria,
can help prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea in young children
being treated for ear infections or colds.
