Did your toddler lose their appetite on antibiotics?

just completed two days of penicillin (the tonsillitis one, he’s had a nasty throat infection) and although he was eating normally throughout having the sore throat he’s now gone off his food completely and is barely picking at things he normally loves.

He’s still drinking loads of fluids, lots of wet nappies, but haven’t had a dirty nappy today either so was wondering if they’ve disagreed with his digestive system bless him.

in the little booklet it says digestion issues and nausea, upset tummy etc but doesn’t say anything about decreased appetite. I’m going to call the chemist tomorrow but just wondered if anyone had experienced the same?

Don't know about toddlers but I had antibiotics after surgery which made me nauseous. The doctor advised me that the antibiotics kill off all bacteria in your gut, including the good bacteria which helps in digestion. His advice was to eat probiotic yoghurt which will help to build up these bacteria again.
Hope your little one recovers soon.
