I've recently had a throat infection which wouldn't budge and was eventually prescribed 250mg amoxycillin. 3 days after I finished the course, I got it back again with a vengeance (plus full on flu symptoms) and was then prescribed 500mg amoxycillin. I'm exclusively bf my son who has just turned 5 months. The stronger antibiotics gave me a 'bad tummy' and since I took them, my son has also seemed to have worse wind and general tummy ache (no other symptoms like d&v though).


I've finished the course now and my tummy is better, but he isn't.


Anything I can do/take/give to help his tummy? Or is it not that, and perhaps the jabs or something else...

Hi Fuschia - that's a good idea for me, but I wasn't sure about giving it to him as he's only ever had breast milk (I'm ultra sensitive about it as my daughter had a cow's milk protein allergy).


I'm sure I read somewhere about a homeopathic remedy I could give directly to him (I don't actually subscribe to homeopathy at all, but I'll try anything to make him feel better!)

Health matters sell a powder for this called Bifidobacterium Infantis made by BioCare which is specially formulated for infants. You put a quarter of a tea spoon of the powder into their mouths with every feed if breastfeeding. I used it after having to take various antibiotics for 3 weeks while breastfeeding and worrying about baby sailor getting thrush or digestive probs.

It's not cheap - looking at my bottle here it's ?26:15 but worth it if it helps!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
