My daughter started having a fever on thursday. I took her to the Doc and they told me she had tonsillitis. Started her on Zithromycine (not sure if thats right) yesterday morning now she has diarrhea. Is this from the meds? Or is another symptom of her illness?

It would be best to seek proper medical advice by calling your pediatrician…Depending on your childs dosage & if she has had antibiotics before, etc…lots of varying factors need to be addressed. Make sure that your baby is drinking plenty of fluids, hold off on any dairy/formula/milk until the diarhea subsides…give her Pedialyte/water with a little gatorade 50/50 mix,popsicle,jello, & soft light foods if she is hungry, avoid anthing seasone or heavily flavored or fatty/greasy[I say this cause so many young’uns are handed McD’s fr fry etc…give crackers,cereal,potatoes,etc CALL the pedicatrician…you can also speak to the pharmacist & look at the medication information sheet the pharmacy gives you nowadays! You can also go to http://www.webmd.com or http://www.drugdigest.org to learn all you need to know about the medicines you choose to take! Check her temp too…make sure it is not elated~Call the pediatrician~ Take care!
Call the pharmacist who packaged this prescription for you & tell them. They will know the side effects of the drug.
It would be from the medication, tonsillitis doesn’t give kids diarrhoea, call or take your daughter back to the doctor and and get the medication changed
