quick disclaimer, I've seen two doctors already and am going again tomorrow! I just wanted more ideas / opinions as to what this MIGHT be so I can discuss with the doc tomorrow.


So, one month ago my son (11m) got diaganosed with tonsilitis and perscribed amoxocillin.

So we took the dose and the tonsilitis cleared up, great.

We then went on holiday and three nights out of 7 he projectile vomited everywhere (nice!)

we saw a doc on holiday and she thought it was due to the antibiotics killing all the 'good bacteria' and him now having an overly sensitive stomache....


He then contracts a horrid cold and a week later wakes up and vomits. (last monday)

cold semi clears up (still streams of snot... you know how it is!) then vomits on Wed, Friday and Sunday.

After Sunday I put him back onto puree food, really simple, veg and rice crackers etc... (I was taking it easy before this but not to that extreeme)

Yesterday he had a horrible temperature but was ok in bed and today he was fine all day, on really good form but then vomited after supper (after I put him down, around an hour later)


Has anyone else had any experience of an overly sensitive tummy after antibiotics and how long has this lasted.... this is 3 or so weeks since we finished them now.

Or any ideas of anything else this could be?

I was going to ask the doc for perhaps some allergy tests to see if it's a super sensitivity to something, but can allergeys appear like that if he is eating the same foods as he was before all of this??

Thanks for any help / advice


P.S 2nd disclaimer, I'm really sorry about my awful spelling.... dyslexia combined with being too tired to spell check!

I'm sure others will know more


But it's advised to not give cows' milk while child is sick (with tummy bug? with general virus? with antibiotics? not sure)


If you do, they can subsequently develop an intolerance to cows' milk.


I don't know if it would necessarily result in all the vomiting, but I suppose it's possible


any help?

Perhaps an infant probiotic might help replenish good bacteria? My son spent from 10 months to 18 months struck down by tummy bug after tummy bug. 48 hour bugs could last for weeks - it was grim for all. I started giving him a daily probiotic (health food shop on lordship lane has several infant ones to choose from - we use Udo's Choice) and it has made a world of difference - bugs much less frequent and he is far less affected by them.


I think after a course of antibiotics is one of the times that probiotics are particularly recommended. Could be worth a try? They're not cheap though unfortch...

My 13month old has been going through pretty much the same thing for the past week (incl diarrhoea) but she hasn't had any antibiotics recently. Maybe it's a tummy bug and the antibiotics could be a red herring???


As mentioned, a transient lactose intolerance can develop which perpetuates the problem (not the fever though) and so we stopped all dairy and gave soy milk, which has helped settle her tummy. Will slowly reintroduce dairy over the next few weeks.

Thanks all, he actually doesn't have cows milk anyway so can't be that, we've been giving probiotic goats yog every day too...

But may go down the specific probiotic route as the doc we saw on hols did suggest that...


Sorry fushia my previous post want clear, he has only been "porely" with the cold for a couple of the vomiting episodes, the rest of the time he is fine during the day but then sick at night :-(

I would suspect that between the tonsillitis and the cold he had some sort of 'nasal drip' - its exactly that which makes mine vomit only at night .. The mucous pools then


I have dribbly sort of sinuses (allergies) and always have it myself


So it could be an allergy affecting the nose, rather than the stomach ...

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
