Child On Liquid Amoxicillan. Vomiting After Having Medicine. Is It Due To Leaving It In Hot Car?
My 9-year-old daughter is on liquid amoxicillan. I picked up her Rx yesterday on my way to work and inadvertently left in on the front seat of the car in near 100 degree (F) temperatures while I finished my shift. Advice from others was that it would be okay if I put it in the fridge when I arrived home last night, which I did. I gave her a dose of the medication this morning and within an hour, I was called to come get her from daycare because she was vomiting . She wasn t feeling well and didn t eat breakfast, so the amoxicillian was the only thing in her stomach today. Do you think her vomiting was caused by my gross negligence in leaving the medication in the hot car?
