Does Stomach Ache With Diarrhea Need ER Attention?
Good day Our 3year 4 month old was diagnosed with bronchitis by the GP on Monday. She took x-rays to confirm whether it is in fact bronchitis or pneumonia. He is complaining of stomach ache. The GP prescribed 6 ml Augmentin at morning and at night after meals. 5 ml Aspelone in morning, Reuteri chewable tablets, Fox Air & Ventolin. The Augmentin is causing a bit of diarrhoea. Should I take him to the ER? Last night he cried in his sleep of pain in stomach. Please advise Thank you.

Hi...it is usual for Augmentin to cause diarrhea. You need not worry unless there is blood in the stools or he is dehydrated and dull and lethargic and not voided for the past 8 hours at all. If the above said symptoms are there, you need to go to the emergency room, otherwise no. You can give him some pro-biotics and give him zinc supplements and Oral Rehydration Solution.
