What Causes Vomiting And Diarrhea In A Child While On Cefaclor?
I was given cefaclorl on Wednesday for a bacterial influenza. Thursday 2 of my grandchildren were up all nite with vomiting and diarrhea. It lasted 12 hours. I was taking care of them. Saturday morning at 4am I began throwing up and diarrhea. The diarrhea lasted 2 full days and was uncontrollable ang green. I did not take any of normal medications for 2 days. I am wondering if I need to resume the cefaclor? Could it be what caused my diarrhea to be so much worse?

Hello dear. Sometimes antibiotics taken orally will cause diarrhoea. If it is very severe the child needs to be admitted in hospital and given IV fluids and IV antibiotics. Within couple of days your child will be fine.
