How Sensiclav Kid Tablet Works

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics.
  • Whole grains like whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet.
  • Probiotics should be taken after taking a full course of Sensiclav Kid Tablet in order to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea.
  • Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kombucha, and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
  • Avoid alcoholic beverages with Sensiclav Kid Tablet as they can make you dehydrated and may affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the Sensiclav Kid Tablet in fighting off infections.
