Hi,
DD (5.5 yrs old) was prescribed antibiotics Erythromycin 125mg/5ml suspension by gp yesterday.
Background info: she was feverish on Saturday and Sunday and vomited few times & gone off food etc and usual childrens paracetamol / ibupurofen didnt do much to reduce the temperature. Then she has developed a pea sized lump on her neck. Gp diagnosed throat infection and prescribed the medicine. Now, she hated this medicine and wants to throw up immediately after taking it. So far I managed it without throwing it up but this morning after I left for work, his dad gave it to her and 40 minutes after taking it, she threw up.
Does she need to take another dose now? Is 40 minutes a reasonable time limit for the medicine to be absorbed?
If anyone know, pls reply...
Many thanks.
