2 year old DD has been sick - should I still give her medicine (antibiotics)?

DD has been poorly since last friday with fever, cough cold, sore throat etc and has literally probably eaten the equivalent of one full meal in all that time. She is now drinking quite well thankfully. She got a bit of appetite back today while she was with her Grandma (I was at college) and ate some cucumber and a morsel of chicken at lunchtime. At about 6.30 this evening she was very sick although she did perk up a bit afterwards so hopefully in the long run it will have been a good thing. Anyway, my question is, should I give her the dose of antibiotics that she is due at 10pm this evening? She already has hideous diareah (sp) (as a result of the medicine we think).

TIA.

bump please as I need to go to bed myself. The dcs have very kindly given me what they have had and I'm feeling sorry for myself.
