First, check the time. Note when the vomiting occurred and how long after taking the medication. This helps your doctor understand the situation.
Next, offer small sips of clear liquids like water or an electrolyte solution, avoiding sugary drinks. This prevents dehydration. Small amounts frequently are better than large quantities at once.
Then, carefully monitor your toddler’s hydration. Observe wet diapers (or bathroom trips) and check for signs of dehydration such as dry mouth, decreased urination, or lethargy.
Immediately contact your pediatrician or doctor. Describe the situation, including the amount of vomit, its characteristics (color, consistency), and the time since administering the amoxicillin. Follow their instructions carefully.
Avoid giving your toddler any other medication without first consulting your doctor. This includes over-the-counter remedies.
Keep your toddler comfortable. Let them rest and encourage fluids as directed by your doctor. Observe them closely for any other symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, or rash.
