Hello
It is not normal to have vomit or fever when eating in 7 month old baby. He must be suffering from some kind of infection most commonly viral. Antibiotics also causes diarrhea. Consult your doctor again. You can give enterogermina 1 respule a day for maintaining gut flora which usually lost during antibiotic treatment, Zinc syrup 5 ml OD for better recovery from diarrhea and domstal syrup 2 ml 2-3 times a day for vomiting. Continue feeds and also do tepid sponging to bring down the temp beside giving paracetamol.
I hope this answers your query effectively.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
