Hello Madam,
Welcome to Health Care Magic. I read carefully your query and I understand your concern.
One in five children who take antibiotics may develop diarrhea, and in your child's case the causative might be the oral amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium. It is more common in children aged under two years and can occur with any type of antibiotic. I would suggest you not to stop the medication before you consult your child's doctor to see if the antibiotic should be changed. To avoid your child from dehydration, so your first concern should be giving him enough liquids. If your baby isn't also vomiting, continue to give him breast milk or formula. If your baby can't keep breast milk or formula down, I may suggest that you start giving him a pediatric electrolyte solution.
Hope I answered to your question. Feel free to ask again.
Take Care, Dr. Ina Zaimi
