Summary
This study tests whether adding a probiotic called Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG to standard care (like rehydration fluids) can shorten the duration of acute infectious diarrhea in children. About 480 kids aged 1 month to 10 years in Turkey will take part. Half will get the probiotic plus standard care, and half will get standard care alone. Families will track stool frequency and consistency for 10 days.
