Your kid seems to have gastroenteritis and needs antibiotic medication.Since he is 8years you may ask him to have some candies/toffees to mask the aftertaste of oflamac and convince him that he has to get cure of his infection and the medication is just for a short duration.Try to complete the course as far as possible or consult your doctor for an alternative medicine.Hope this helps.Your son will get well soon.
