The diarrhoea is probably a side effect of the antibiotic and as far as i know the ab injections can be more dangerous(for side effects) than oral antibiotics. Probiotics are a must after an antibiotic course because the body is left with little or no friendly flora to protect it and leave the recipient more vunerable for other nasties (infections) to take over. Also it pays to bear in mind antibiotics are no earthly good for a " virus " -in fact they might well make matters far worse - " feed a virus " - so to speak! Always know for what proven infection -(it's no good your Doc guessing!-tests are the only way for them to know, they really haven't got xray eyes)- you or your child are being given the medication for, find out the side effects, contra-indications(who should not have it)-in short -is it safe? is it necassary?- facts.
