Brief Answer:
Depending on colony forming unit
Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma’am, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but the dose of probiotics depend on the colony forming unit of the brand you are taking.. it is recommended not to take more that 8-10 colony forming unit per day..
As for avoiding the infection reaching your lungs then you need to disinfect you hands regularly , avoid the infection site coming in contact with anything , disinfect your clothes while washing them and even disinfect your inhalers before using them.. I hope you find this helpful
