Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
diarrhea and vomiting after intake of penicillin group of drugs are very much common and this can be neutralised by shifting to cephalosporin group of antibiotic.
Now a days many penicillin are available in combination with lactobacillus that will prevent diarrhea.
For vomiting symptomatic treatment can be given.
Thanks
Hope I answered ur queries.
