Hi,

I have gone through the medical history of your son and understood your concerns.

Usually, amoxicillin use is not associated with mood changes neither to sleep problems.

In your child's case, what I suspect is that during the time he was ill, you've been pampering too much without contradiction. Now, that he is improving, you are not pampering that much, thus he is reacting this way.

Try to get a sweet approach to him. If no improvement, then, should discuss it further with his pediatrician.

All the best!
