Just prescribed Amox-Clav 400mg/5ml Susp 75ml for my kid's ear infection - any tips or experiences to share?
I've just picked up a prescription for Amox-Clav 400mg/5ml Susp 75ml for my 3-year-old's ear infection. The pediatrician said it's a common antibiotic to use for this. I'm a bit nervous about side effects and just want to know if anyone has any advice on giving this to a toddler. Especially any tips on getting them to take it! My kid is not a fan of medicine.

Good luck! Make sure to finish the entire course of antibiotics, even if your kid starts feeling better. And yeah, I think the apple sauce trick is pretty standard.
My doc mentioned that if the diarrhea doesn't go away or gets worse, it could be a sign of something more serious called C. diff. So keep an eye out for that, just in case, another doctor said.
I've also heard that some kids can get a bit gassy or bloated with this. But nothing serious, just make sure to stay hydrated and keep an eye out for any severe symptoms.
I've never heard of that! It’s probably because of the clavulanate another doctor told me. It’s supposed to help the amoxicillin work better but it can cause some tummy trouble.
I was terrified of the side effects too, but my kid did just fine. The only issue was some mild diarrhea, which the doc said was normal. Just keep an eye out for any severe reactions and call the doc if you see them.
Amox-Clav always seems to work well for us, but my kid usually gets a bit of a rash. Nothing serious, and the doc said it’s just a mild allergic reaction which is fine to be said by the doctor.
If the rash is mild, I wouldn't worry too much. But if it gets worse or your child seems really unwell, call the doctor right away. I had a rash with Z-pack. And they had to change my antibiotics and that was a little scary.
I've also heard of a rash coming from antibiotic treatment. I guess it’s a common side effect. But I guess it’s not as bad as the pneumonia
My kid had a similar prescription. I mixed it with a little bit of applesauce to make it more palatable. It worked like a charm! But be careful with the doeses, my pediatrician strictly said not to miss any.
