Should I continue giving my 7-year-old child Mox Clav DS if it is causing stomach pain and loose stools, now that the doctor has also prescribed Econorm?
Mox Clav DS (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid) without consulting your doctor. Antibiotics often cause temporary stomach upset and loose stools. Econorm (a probiotic) is prescribed to help restore healthy gut bacteria and ease these side effects. To get the best results, give the Econorm about two hours after the Mox Clav DS. Ensure your little one drinks plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. If the loose stools become severe, or if you notice fever or blood in the stool, please contact your pediatrician right away.
