What should I do if a 21-month-old baby vomits after taking erythromycin?

Patient's question:

At 21 months, the baby took erythromycin mixed dry powder and soon after experienced severe vomiting. After taking it again, the vomiting became even worse. Can you help? Or is there any other good solution?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, if the baby experiences a similar situation after taking the medication again, it is recommended not to continue taking the drug and seek immediate medical attention for a thorough examination to determine the cause of the illness. Parents don't need to worry too much. If the condition is severe, hospitalization may be an option. Mom can prepare some light and easily digestible foods for the baby, such as fruit puree, which are nutritious and easy to digest.
