Dd has had a bad cough for a week or so. We have all had (confirmed) flu and ds had a chest infection which only showed up on an x ray.
So....dd is 13 weeks, the cough yesterday was causing her to have bouts of coughing which made her very sick. I took her to the docs today and he said we could start her on amoxycillin or wait another 24 hours. Her chest sounded clear.
we started her on them mainly because she couldnt get her immunisations again this week because of this virus and I just wanted to make sure we got rid of it if it had went into a bacterial infection as she's had no jags and I didnt want it dragging on longer than necessary.
She took the first dose this morning, all fine though did have runny nappy at 4pm.
She had her second dose at 7pm and brought it all back up. She was put on erthrymycin 2 weeks ago for crackly chest but we had to stop it (on docs advice) as she was sick when having it and had v v v watery stools. Her chest was sounding clear by that point (6 doses (1.5 days) of antib).
I will give her her next dose in the morning but if she sicks it up again what should I do? I am concerned if she has this with each antibiotic then how would we get her better if she got a bad infection?
Given that her chest sounds clear would you worry about the antibiotics at all? Ds's chest also sounded clear but x ray showed otherwise but he had a raging and uncontrollable fever.
Bit confused!
