Descripción detallada
This study is planning to compare the clinical efficacy of bacterial ( Bacillus clausii) versus fungal (Sacchromyces boulardii) probiotic in acute watery diarrhea. A clear consensus has not been reached regarding the use of appropriate probiotic. Some pediatricians are of the opinion that bacterial probiotic are suprerior to fungal probiotics along with rehydration for improvement of diarrhea. However, others experience is that fungal probiotics are better along with rehydration for the improvement of diarrhea. A high-quality evidence basis must be established that guides the pediatrician regarding the choice of probiotic.The results of this study will help guide pediatricians to the better probiotic for the clinical improvement of acute diarrhea in our setup.
