This can happen: Very loose bowel movements is very common with augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate). Nausea and vomiting also can happen. Contact your child's pediatrician and let him/her know about your child's symptoms.

No: The vomiting and diarrhea may be caused by the antibiotic. Notify your pediatrician of these symptoms.
