On antibiotics and is throwing up
Hi Paed
Luca (12 mths) was diagnosed with a bad ear infection on Thursday and was put on a weeks dosage of Augmentin. It seems to be working slowly but surely, but we're just puzzled as to why he is throwing up so much - it seems to be phlegm mostly.
Is it the antibiotics that's doing it's thing? His tummy is also quite runny and we're giving him Reuteri for it which is helping slightly. Is this all from the antibiotics?
Thanks so much!
