PRESENTED BYhttp://www.parentingz.com/

Today, “Parenting and Pregnancy experts’’ will tell you baby antibiotics

side effects

If your child develops a side effect while taking, or

immediately after stopping an antibiotic, be sure to tell your pediatrician. Common antibiotic side effects can

include :

Antibiotic associated Diarrhea

Getting diarrhea when you take an antibiotic is much more common

than many parents understand. It is thought that up to 25% of

children will develop diarrhea, either while they are still taking the

antibiotic, or up to a few weeks after they have finished it. While

some antibiotics are thought to be more likely to cause diarrhea,

including Augmentin and erythromycin, just about any antibiotic

can cause your child to have diarrhea.

Allergic reactions

Antibiotics can commonly cause allergic reactions with hives.

Unfortunately, many viral reactions can cause skin rashes that might

be confused with an allergic reaction if they child is unnecessarily

prescribed an antibiotic, causing problems when the child really

needs the antibiotic at a later time.

Allergic reactions

Drug Reactions

It may include itchy, maculopapular rashes or even delayed-onset

urticarial (look like hives) rashes, but which are not an IgE-mediated

allergic reaction and so won't cause life-threatening, anaphylactic

reactions.

Drug Reactions

Yeast InfectionsIt can include thrush or Candida vulvovaginitis.

Stained Teeth

Classically, tetracyline derivatives caused tooth staining when given

to young children during periods of enamel calcification, which is

why these antibiotics (tetracycline, doxycycline, and minocycline)

are not routinely used in children under age 8 years. Surprisingly, it

is thought that even Amoxil may cause stained teeth. One study

reported that kids who took Amoxil in the first 3 to 6 months of life

had an increased risk of tooth staining later.

Stained Teeth

Fever

Although often overlooked as a side effect, some antibiotics have

been associated with a drug-induced fever when they are given by

IV.

RememberFortunately, most of these side effects are temporary, not life-threatening, and go away once your child stops the antibiotic he was taking.
