A member asked:
My son is almost 2, he was prescribed liquid antibiotics for cough & fever. tonight he threw up 30 mins after taking it. should we give another dose ?

No: Continue giving the antibiotic as prescribed. If your child continues to throw up his medicine you might ask your doctor for a different, possibly more palliatable, antibiotic.

No: Chances are the dose was absorbed if taken on an empty stomach! (Assuming the vomitus was "clear")) Hope this helps! Dr Z NB If the child vomits after the NEXT DOSE...call your Pediatrician for advise!!!!!! Good luck! Dr Z
