Journal FortKnox's Journal: Parental Tip #475 13
Amoxicillin kills bacteria. Including the "good" bacteria in your digestive system. This means messy, nasty, and RANK diaper changes. Fool your significant other into changing the diaper.
My technique, when I know Joey's dirty, is to get my wife to hold him (fake that you need to do something real quick, like having to go to the bathroom, so she won't sit and think why she needs to hold him, she just does it). Leave the room for a few minutes, she smells it and changes it, and you survived the diaper change. FYI - this works maybe twice before she catches on, so this can quickly become the story of a boy who cried wolf...

Slightly different tale of Amoxicilin (Score:2)
Well, apparently, my parents started to notice something wrong after I started taking amoxicilin. I was turning grey. Yes, the wonders of an allergic reaction in a pasty white kid to the medicine. So needless to say, after they noticed the trend, I was never givin amoxicilin again.
So basically, my point is simply this: penecilin stimulates the gastrointestinal tract, which sucks, but at least your kid seems to be reacting well to the medicine. Hope he gets better soon. If he turns grey, I can get you in touch with my parents for advice :)

On the other hand, my doctor has given me prescriptions for Biaxin to fill "whenever necessary". This is because I used to get really bad sinus infections every once in a while, and my doctor was well aware that I knew how to tell if I had a sinus infection or not, so this way I would be able to bypass going to a doctor and get medicine immediately. So it's not over the counter medicine, maybe it's under the counter medicine? Heh.

yogurt and other lactobacillus things... (Score:2)
They make it in pill and chewable form too (found in the fridge section of most health food stores) but I don't think that's going to be useful for a kid...

As said, I have no children, so probably I'm wrong.

Don't know about the age thing.

it's rather unfortunate that I hate yogurt with a passion...it makes all those times on antibiotics much more fun.
