Could my six-month-old baby's frequent watery yellow stools and inconsolable crying be side effects of Cephalexin oral drops or Ambroxyl mucolite drops, and should I stop breastfeeding him?
Frequent watery stools and colic-like crying can indeed be side effects of cephalexin, as antibiotics can temporarily upset a baby's delicate gut flora. Ambroxol (Ambroxyl mucolite drops) can also sometimes cause mild stomach irritation. Please do not stop breastfeeding; your breast milk is vital to keep him hydrated and help his gut heal. I highly recommend contacting your pediatrician to evaluate his symptoms. They can determine if he needs a probiotic or if his medications need to be adjusted.
