Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your daughter seems to have a respiratory tract infection. Although this is most commonly caused due to a virus, it can have a super added bacterial infection.

Novamox is an antibiotic that kills the beneficial intestinal bacteria along with the bad ones. This causes the diarrhoea she had suffered from in the earlier episode after taking the same prescribed medicine.

Chances are that she would have the same problem once again. Better start giving her curd/yogurt which contains beneficial lactobacillus. You can also give her a sachet of Enterogermina or Vizylac (which contain prebiotics and probiotics) twice daily.

Sometimes, certain medicines are not well tolerated by the babies. You may use Ondem syrup half an hour before the meals or before the medicines in order to ensure that the medicines are not vomited out. Discuss about the prior episode with your doctor and surely he will keep that in account.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Diptanshu Das
