Description
Abstract
Introduction: Children's respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are one of the most common health issues.
Probiotics are live bacteria that invade the intestines and modify the microbiota of the host. A growing body of
research indicates that taking probiotics may alter or reduce the frequency of RTIs.
Aims: The aim of this on health effects of probiotics in patients with RTI, with a focus on viral respiratory
infections.
Materials and Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled investigation was carried out. given
daily probiotics including lactobacillus acidophilus and bifido bacterium over the 6-month intervention trial
period. 400 participants, ages 3 to 6, were chosen for the research.
Results: When compared to the placebo group, the active group's overall RTI symptom duration (measured in
days) was significantly shorter. Without the use of probiotics, the incidence rate of RTI symptoms is
considerable.
Conclusion: Probiotic supplements offer a way to lower the prevalence of RTIs in preschool-aged children who
visit day care centers
