If your child is deficient in vitamins or minerals, your pediatric specialist might recommend they take dietary supplements to restore their overall health and wellness. Probiotics supplements help replenish healthy gut bacteria after your child takes antibiotics.
Taking over-the-counter or prescription medications, such as antibiotics, may help your child heal from an illness or disease. Certain medications or injections help them better manage a chronic disease, such as diabetes or allergies.
