My son is 5yo and 44 pounds. he is currently on augmentin for an ear infx which is causing diarrhea. any medication he can take before school?

Diarrhea: I don't recommend anti-diarrheal medicine for anyone and especially not children - they can have dystonic side effects. If he is having so many loose stools that he can't go to school, I would call your pediatrician and mention the unacceptable side effects. Meanwhile, bananas and rice, applesauce and toast are recommended to help with diarrhea. Good luck.
