DS is 15mo and has been very unwell, for months now, with various infections both viral and bacterial. This culminated last week in a(nother) horrific dash to a&e after he developed a rash that looked a lot like meningitis and didn't blanch. Turns out he has a type of coxsackie virus and bacterial tonsillitis, for the third time in under three months.

Dr started him on coamoxiclav on Friday night (we've already done Pen V twice) and let us come home o Saturday morning. Sunday night he started with diarrhoea- two very loose stools in two hours. Today he's had approx 6 or 7 explosive watery stools.

He's still passing urine and full of energy. Should I stop the co-amoxiclav, or should I take him to the GP tomorrow? Or is this just normal for a baby who is eating few solids, lots of breastfeeding, and taking this antibiotic?

Any advice greatly appreciated.
