Diarrhoea (sp?) in ds, 15 months, due to antibiotics - what do I do? Do I need to do anything?

[emkana]

According to my family health book thingy I should phone the doctor to check whether he shoudl continue with the AB's. Do I have to? He's had loads of AB's in the past, never reacted like this though. He's not unwell with it, still eating/drinking okay. Not sure what to do!

Are they the same abs as he's had before?

Yes he's had these several times before, always okay on them before.

You could try a probiotic if it's not too severe. Mild diarrhoea is so common with antibiotics.

Where can I get a probiotic that's suitable for him?

Try a health food shop or if not yakult or similar yoghurt drinks are OK.

The homeopathic remedy gaertner helped get my dd2's digestion back on track after a recent course of ABs. One a night for a week was what the homeopath recommended.
