Probiotics reduced cold symptoms
Randomized controlled trial of probiotics to reduce common cold in schoolchildren.
Study shows significant effectiveness.
We assessed the impact of a two-strain probiotic, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum, on common cold symptoms in schoolchildren through a double-blind randomized controlled trial.

Over three months, children aged 8-13 in Thailand received either the probiotics or a placebo.

We found a significant reduction in cold symptoms and school absenteeism among those taking the probiotic, along with lower rates of fever and cough. Overall, this suggests probiotics could be beneficial in managing cold symptoms for school-aged kids.

Probiotics effectively reduce cold symptoms
Probiotic effects on cold and influenza-like symptom incidence and duration in children.
Study highly relevant to childhood health
We examined the effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus on cold symptoms in young children. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 326 children ages 3-5 received either probiotics or placebo for six months.

The results were promising: children taking probiotics had significantly fewer instances of fever, cough, and runny nose compared to those on placebo. They also missed fewer school days and required less antibiotic treatment.

Overall, probiotics proved to be a safe and effective method for reducing common cold symptoms in children.
