Patient's question:
Doctor, my child is 19 months old and has recently had tonsillitis. We are giving medication, including Amoxicillin and Azithromycin. Except for one tonsil medication, which is Ribavirin, the baby has been constantly vomiting these days, especially when full. What is going on?Doctor's answer:
Strep throat is commonly caused by Streptococcus or Staphylococcus bacteria. Additionally, penicillin-class antibiotics or cephalosporin-class antibiotics are sufficient, and there is no need for combination therapy (erythromycin may lead to gastrointestinal reactions, nausea, and vomiting). If it's just a common cold or no cold, antiviral medications (like ribavirin) are not recommended. Also, when children are unwell, their gastrointestinal function tends to weaken. It's advisable to eat easily digestible foods and have small, frequent meals.The above is my suggestion for this issue. I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
