Gedetailleerde beschrijving
Acute upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) frequently lead to broad-spectrum antibiotic prescriptions such as co-amoxiclav, which can disrupt the gut microbiota and cause antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD).
This single-blind randomized controlled trial will be conducted at the Pediatric Medicine Outpatient Department, University of Child Health Sciences, The Children's Hospital, Lahore. A total of 88 children aged 6 months to 5 years presenting with URTI and prescribed co-amoxiclav will be enrolled after obtaining written informed consent from their parents or legal guardians.
Participants will be randomized into two equal groups (n = 44 each):
Group A (Control): Standard dose of oral co-amoxiclav (30 mg/kg/day) for 5 days.
Group B (Intervention): Standard dose of oral co-amoxiclav (30 mg/kg/day) plus oral Saccharomyces boulardii for 5 days.
Clinical response, stool frequency, and stool consistency (graded using the WHO scale) will be assessed telephonically and during clinical follow-up at Day 5 (completion of antibiotic regimen) and at Day 14. Any child developing severe dehydration or high-grade loose stools will be managed in accordance with institutional safety protocols.
