My pediatrician just prescribed Amox-Clav 250mg/5ml Susp 150ml for my 5-year-old. I know it’s a common antibiotic, but I’m a bit worried about side effects. I read the possible side effects but I’m still curious if anyone else has any experience with this. What should I really be looking out for? Honestly, the label does not inspire confidence. Is it common for kids, or is use in children something rare?
