The relationship between antibiotics and chronic disease in children

A new study confirmed that children may be more likely to suffer from chronic diseases. Such as allergies, asthma, eczema and obesity. If they take a large amount of antibiotics before completing their second year.

American researchers analyzed the health records of 14,500 children and found a link between chronic disease and early antibiotic use. According to her magazine.


The team concluded that antibiotics, which are used to help fight harmful bacteria, can affect the beneficial microbes that make up the gut microbiome.


Study author Nathan Liberathur of the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota studied. Health records for more than 1,500 children, 70% of whom were treated with antibiotics before the age of two. It was found that these children became more susceptible to some chronic diseases. These include asthma, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, digestive disorders, and eczema. And food allergies, obesity and weight disorders.


Liberathur noted that the study findings provide an opportunity to target future research to define a more reliable approach. And safer timing, age, and types of antibiotics for children in this age group.
