Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern about your child.
Nothing to worry as he is improving, eating normally and cleared his breath sounds around 90%.
Usually one antibiotic is sufficient in most of upper respiratory tract infections, so nothing to worry about stopping clarithromycin because of vomitings.
Usually antibiotic course (clarithromycin) is given to treat the existing infection and it wont prevent future infections.
So I suggest you to stop worrying and if you feel any concern about the child, contact the pediatrician for follow up.
Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know.
Regards.
