Dysbacteriosis in a child is diagnosed very often, but it can not be called an independent disease. This pathology of the intestine always occurs after either an illness or a background of it. One of the reasons for this can be called taking antibiotics, after which the intestinal microflora is broken. But in many diseases, these medicines are the only solution and the most necessary condition for therapy, therefore, despite the possible consequences, they are still prescribed to children.
The result of this necessary treatment is always the fact that the child after taking antibiotics develops dysbiosis, which leads to violations of digestive functions. For this reason, babies begin to gain weight poorly, because of the deficiency of nutrients necessary for the body, they lose immunity, there are signs of beriberi and allergies, a tendency to frequent colds and it is likely the development of rickets due to a lack of vitamin D. Therefore, for children's healthit is of great importance that after the course of treatment with antibacterial drugs, rehabilitation therapy is performed for the intestinal microflora.

These factors not only lead to the development of dysbiosis in children, but also contribute to the development of resistance to antibacterial drugs of a certain group. All of them affect the intestines in different ways. Medicines from the group of tetracyclines "kill" the upper layer of the mucosa, thus providing good conditions for multiplying conditionally pathogenic bacteria. This leads to an increase in the intestine of the child of staphylococci and candida fungi.
If the child has been mistaken in the intake of aminoglycosides, he in the intestine stops growing normal microflora. Such drugs as aminopenicillins provide an opportunity for the accelerated development of streptococci, and fungicidal antibiotics act selectively. They affect the reproduction of lactose-negative Escherichia and Proteus bacteria. But, regardless of which group of drugs has influenced, the result will be the same - a baby who has used it will develop a dysbacteriosis.
