My 10-month-old baby recently recovered from a fever and loose stools after taking Cefaclor and Econorm, but now a week later her fever of 101?F and loose stools have returned; should I give her the Cefaclor antibiotic again?
Please do not restart the Cefaclor antibiotic on your own. Giving antibiotics without a doctor's guidance can be unsafe, potentially worsening her loose stools or causing antibiotic resistance. This recurrence of fever and diarrhea could be a new viral infection or a reaction to her previous treatment. For now, focus on keeping her well-hydrated with breast milk, formula, or oral rehydration solutions, and you can continue the Econorm probiotic. Please have her evaluated by her pediatrician promptly to ensure she receives the correct, safe treatment.
