How To Cure Diarrhea, Vomiting And Swollen Eyes In A Child?

No difficulty breathing. ERP was contacted and amoxicillin suspended and steroid prescribed. That was last week. This morning he woke up with eyes swollen again. His pediatrician still hasn t returned call. What can we do now

Hello,
The symptoms of your grandson seem to be related to an allergic reaction of Amoxicillin.
I recommend giving antihistamines daily such as Levocetirizine syrup.
If the symptoms don't improve or if he has difficulties in breathing I suggest a visit to the ER.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
