Hi, my 3 1/2 yr old daughter started throwing up a week ago. The first day she threw up a few times, but everyday since then she has been throwing up once a day. the doctor put her on 1600 mg of Amoxicillin a day for ear infection.she also had diarreah a few times but now it seems to be normal. should i be worried that this has been going on for a week? is the amount of amox too much for a 3 yr old?
Hello, For a three-year-old, it is definitely a high dose. The maximum dose of Amoxicillin for ear infection is 50-80 mg/kg/day. Diarrhea is a common side effect of Amoxicillin. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
