Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Loose Stools In A Child After Giving Clamp Kid Forte?
Dosage of Clamp Kid Forte (AMOXYCILLIN and POTASSIUM CLAULANATE) , 2.5 ML twice in day (since last 3 days) seems causing problem with my 7 month old Daughter s digestive system. Her poops have got very liquid, dark brownish and about 4-5 times a day. Is this fine, or a known side effect. We are scheduled to meet Doctor again once 5 day dosage completes. Should I arrange appointment earlier, or this is a fine behavior. She looks fine though and plays as usual. This medication was given as she was bitten by an insect that caused red swelling that got hard and possibly with pus and did not cure on its own even after 3 days.
Hi...by what you quote this looks like a simple antibiotic associated diarrhoea and it is very common with the drug - AMOXYCILLIN and POTASSIUM CLAVULENATE. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. All she needs now is a probiotic with Saccharomyces boulardii and I as this is a prescription drug, I suggest you consult your paediatrician regarding this. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
