My DS is on Amoxicillan (sp?) for an ear infection - he started taking it yesterday and today he has diarrhea - this is listed as a possible side effect on the bottle and when I asked the ped about possible reactions she said this was one - anyway, I'm thinking then its just is what it is and I shouldn't worry or call the ped but, as a first time mommy - I'm unsure? TIA  DS is 10 mo

My DS is on it too. We started it early last week for an ear infection and yes, he's had loose stools all week
I've been trying to give him some banana every day and it's helped a bit.

I don't think it warrents a call, but that's just me. I never call 
Try giving banannas, rice, apples, NO juice and no dairy (if DC is old enough to be off formula).

He is 10 months so still gets alot of formula. Also, I've bene giving him yogurt b/c of the antibiotics but, I did give him apples today and bananna! Thank you

I did go out and buy bananas today for this reason. Glad to hear it helps. I hope he feels better soon! This is my first antibiotics and I am not liking it!
