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

Patient's question:

At 21 months, the baby vomited heavily after taking erythromycin mixed dry powder for a short period and vomited even more severely after taking it again. Can you help? Or is there any other good solution?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, if the baby experiences a similar situation again after taking the medication, it is recommended not to continue using 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, etc., which are nutritious and easy to digest.
