More info: I would need more information to help you in more detail. The diarrhea is a common side effect of Amoxicillin, be sure she drink fluids and you can give her yoghurt or a probiotic. Now, if the eye swelling started after starting the Amoxicillin it might be an allergic reaction and I would recommend going to an urgent care. Also, take her temperature. Was she having fevers before?

See doctor: Amoxycillin can cause diarrhoea , swollen eyes and cold hands and feet could mean child is getting dehydrated due to diarrhoea or an allergic reaction or kidney issue. Please stop amoxycillin and take child to Emergency immediately.

See doc immediately: Take the baby in to see the pediatrician today as soon as possible, or if the baby seems listless, or unusually fussy, sleepy or is breathing rapidly with belly going in and ribs pushing out in a way you usually do not see go to the emergency room right away. Sometimes eye swelling can be due to a life threatening allergy and dehydration seems very likely. Don't wait, young children dehydrate fast
