Yes: Yes, antibiotics can wipe out the natural bacteria in our GI systems. Make sure the child is well hydrated and you can feed her yogurt or probiotics to help repopulate her gut with natural bacteria. If the child develops fever, dehydration, vomiting, or the symptoms last a while, please see physician.
