Will He Keep Vomiting Till Antibiotics Take Effect?

My 18 month hold is on amoxicillan (3X/daily) for an ear infection. He has been vomiting and now his stool is white. As soon he vomits, he feels great again. Will he continue vomiting till the antibiotics take effect? He just started them yesterday evening.

Hi

Vomiting and loose stools can be a part of ear infection symptoms. You can start Syp. Emset 2.5 ml thrice daily to curb vomiting. Syp.Amoxicillin should be completed to completely treat the ear infection. Keep the child well hydrated.

If it persistent even after 24-48 hrs thereafter, consult your ENT physician. You may need a change in antibiotics.

If the child has persistent white stools, then go for a liver function test and ultrasound abdomen to rule out obstructive jaundice.
