A member asked:
My son vomited the antibiotic one hour after he took it. do i have to give it to him again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Basic rule: I generally follow a simple rule on oral medicines.Any spit-up within 15min where i can see or smell the med i will repeat the full dose. 15-30 half, after 30 none.Sometimes it is better to give the stomach a chance to settle down rather that repeating immediately.
