Hi,
Your boy may have loose stools and fever..
If loosebstools are there from the beginning, amoxyl is not the ideal drug of choice.
If loose stools came later after starting the medicines,it can be from amoxycillin itself.
Domstal will not help in this condition.
Give good amount of fluids and take the child to the doctor for reassessment.
