Çocukluk ça nda üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu tedavi ve korunmas nda probiyotik kullan m

In recent years, some studies reported that probiotic use decreases the duration of symptoms such as fever, cough, runny nose, antibiotic prescription and school absenteeism in viral upper respiratory infections. Also these studies showed that probiotics might be used to prevent children from upper respiratory infections. Promoting a healthy diet comprising fermented dairy products including yogurt and kephir, which are already commonly consumed by Turkish individuals, and vegetables and fruits, might be useful in prevention and treatment of upper respiratory infections in children, although further evidence based studies are needed.
