Summary

This study tested whether a specific probiotic (Bifidobacterium breve PRL2020) could reduce stomach issues like diarrhea in 121 children aged 3-12 who were taking amoxicillin or amoxicillin/clavulanate for bacterial infections. The probiotic was designed to survive alongside the antibiotic. The goal was to see if it could protect the gut's healthy bacteria and ease symptoms.
