Always discuss alternative antibiotics with your pediatrician if your child experiences vomiting after taking amoxicillin. They can explore if another antibiotic is a better fit.
Administer amoxicillin with food. This often helps reduce stomach upset. Consider giving it with yogurt or a small, bland meal.
Ensure your child drinks plenty of fluids. Dehydration can worsen vomiting, so offer water, diluted juice, or Pedialyte frequently.
Give smaller, more frequent doses. Instead of the full prescribed dose at once, try dividing it into smaller amounts spread throughout the day.
Monitor your child closely for any signs of allergic reaction beyond vomiting, such as hives or difficulty breathing. Contact your doctor immediately if these occur.
If vomiting persists despite these measures, contact your pediatrician immediately. They can provide further guidance and determine the best course of action.
