One way or another, tummy problems worry all babies. Along with colic, infants are equally common - dysbiosis, allergies, constipation or diarrhea. Pediatricians in such cases recommend giving the drug Hilak forte for newborns. In order for the medication to give the maximum effect, each mother must imagine how it works and how to use it correctly.
How does it work
Hilak forte drops are a clear, yellowish liquid with an acidic odor. The taste of this drug is unpleasant for most babies. The active constituent components of the drops are metabolic products of various bacteria related to normal microflora. The main action of Hilak forte is that drops help restore the natural intestinal microflora in a physiological way. In parallel with this, Hilak forte restores the intestinal mucosa, improves the production of vitamins B and K, and improves immunity.
When to take
Dysbacteriosis
Some doctors do not recognize dysbiosis for the diagnosis and do not believe that it should be treated. This is partly true: no pathological processes occur in the body, the ratio of bacteria simply changes. This is a problem for a newborn child, because his body is still imperfect and cannot cope with the situation, therefore, in this case, the use of Hilak forte drops is necessary.
For children who are fully breastfed, dysbiosis is less characteristic than for artificers. If the baby receives nothing but breast milk, his intestines are naturally colonized with all the necessary bacteria. However, even drinking water can upset the idyll in the intestines. Another reason may be taking medication (especially antibiotics). Artists have more reasons for dysbiosis, because even a very high-quality adapted mixture is “foreign” to the body.
Diarrhea / constipation
Diarrhea and constipation in infants are also almost not scared, but in some situations it may be necessary to establish a chair. For example, problems occur during adaptation after a climate change. For artisans, this is a frequent occurrence, especially at the stage of selecting a suitable mixture, so they can not do without probiotics.
Allergy
In case of allergy, Hilak forte can be given to the baby in order to activate immunity and help the body cope with the reaction.
How to give
A newborn baby is given in one go 15-30 drops. Hilak forte can be bred in a small amount of boiled water. It is better to drink the baby with drops from a spoon or from a syringe. The drug is taken 3 times a day.
The instruction contains a special indication that Hilak forte should not be given with milk.Mothers of babies are perplexed: how to combine breastfeeding with taking drops? It is best to give Hilak forte 30 minutes after breastfeeding.
When the baby's condition improves, the initial dose of the drug should be reduced by half, and then completely stop taking it. The duration of admission is determined by the condition of the crumbs, however, if there are no improvements within a week, it is better to take additional tests and identify the exact cause of problems with the intestines.
Safety and efficacy
Hilak forte is usually well tolerated by babies and does not cause negative consequences. The drug does not have any contraindications, with the exception of high sensitivity to the components, which is almost never found in reality.
The effectiveness of the drug causes controversy in the parental environment. Someone really quickly notices an improvement in the condition of the baby, someone does not observe the effect at all. It depends not only on the characteristics of the baby’s body, but also on the diagnosis. For example, not every episode with green chair in a baby is a manifestation of dysbiosis, but it does not always come to analyzes. Of course, if everything is in order with the intestinal flora, and the greens appeared as a reaction to my mother’s love for vegetables, Hilak forte will not help to eliminate it.
In order not to water the baby with medicine in vain, it is best to take tests and give Hilak forte in case of problems, only in case of real need.
I used Hilak forte when the child was 5 months old, with great difficulty watered it from a syringe, the taste is really not very pleasant, but the effect was. Subsequently, we were prescribed Nutrilon fermented milk mixture, and the need for drops was eliminated.
In fact, both very rare stools and very frequent stools in young babies are not uncommon. Therefore, you have to resort to taking this type of medicine quite often. And the analysis is not so simple. They either cost a lot of money (for each case of misunderstandings with a chair you can’t save enough), or they simply aren’t made in small towns. I already have three children, and for the whole time of their life, when dealing with the symptoms of dysbiosis or poisoning, we were simply sent to a hospital in an infectious diseases hospital with terrible conditions. If the drug really has the claimed composition, then there is nothing wrong with taking it at all. And do not torment yourself and your child with hopes of self-healing.
Hilak forte drops for newborns (for bowel problems (constipation))
It does not help after antibiotics, but it’s very possible to drink it for prevention :) Ideal for kids. And if you drink with bifidumbacterin or linex, then the effect is no worse than from the same normospectrum. Only in this case there are no age restrictions.
Our reaction to Khilak was scattered by the priest! Found out empirically. Did anyone have the same?
