I understand your concern. Please do not give milk products for the time being. Kindly consult your doctor to discuss the suggestion and take the treatment with consent.

You can get these medicines in the pharmacy or your doctor's clinic.

Econorn is pre and probiotics. One sachets two times a day for three days. You can ask chemist he may help you to know the generic name and simplified version.
