Hi,

1. As you said your son is taking Amoxycillin, an antibiotic which causes vomiting and diarrhea in all the age groups as this is the main side effects of the drug.
2. Just be sure of giving him some Antiemetics before giving him the same medicine e.g. syrup ondem.
3. give him some proton pump inhibitors like Pantoprazole to relieve gastritis by the Amoxycillin. As because of the side effects of the medicine kids tend to stop eating food.
4. If still doesn't feel better then you can take advice from your treating physician.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harshita, Infectious Diseases Specialist
