Hello dear.
yes the doctor is right.He gave perfect medicines.
The diarrhea is because of augmentin .
It causes stomach upset.You should follow your doctor's guidelines.Also you can try some home remedies like 1 teaspoon honey in a cup of luke water,give this to him once daily. Avoid cold and sour drinks like soda,soft drinks,vinegar containing stuff like ketchup and tamirind.
Give him steam inhalation twice a day.
Hope it will help.
Wishing your child good health :-)
