Thanks for your query.
I suggest you to continue with antibiotic as advised by your pediatrician.
You should also give some probiotic for 3 to 4 days,give oral rehydration solution sip by sip after each loose stools.give coconut water,curd,banana,boiled potato.

Your baby will be fine.
God bless.

Hi,
Thank you for your query,
Give oral rehydrating solutions sips by sips to prevent dehydration and try to maintain hydration.
Consult your Pediatrician again as she is having vomiting and requires anti emetic such as domperidone and requires further assessment.
And continue the same medication as advised by your doctor till you visit him.
Hope i have answered your query.
