I have a younger sister here 6 years old,
And I took here to the local GP, and she got medicine and I was wondering,
If vomiting and headache/ migraine pains are a side effect for;
Amoxil Forte Syrup 250ml/5ml .?
Above is what is written on the bottle.
If you could help that would be much appreciated.!..

Hello,
Your doctor has prescribed your sister an antibiotic called amoxicillin which is used to treat upper respiratory tract infections mainly. You did not mention what were the complaints she had for which your doctor has prescribed this. This medicine is very commonly used and a basic medicine specially used for children. It does show some side effects like you have mentioned specially related to stomach upset like diarrhea,vomiting etc.But these are minor.If your sister facing such problems very much then you tell your doctor so that he may change to other antibiotic.
Hope this helps.Thank you.
