Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Yes vomiting and bloody diarrhea can be due to Amoxycillin. However it can also be due to gastroenteritis.
Take an OTC lactobacillus preparation and yoghurt with your meals. Drink plenty of fluids. Eat light, do not stay hungry but eat simple things like toast, porridge, cereals, crackers etc. Take ORS. Take over the counter antacid and antiemetic (this SOS for vomiting). Watch out for a day or two with this treatment. If still the symptoms persist, then you may need an antibiotic for the gut and would need to see a doctor. Please go through as advised. In all probability things will settle down. At any time you feel that symptoms are worsening (more than 8-10 loose stools in 24 hrs, vomiting, feeling faint, high fever etc) please go to the ER. Meanwhile call up your doctor and find out whether a change in antibiotic is required or not. Remember to take the antibiotic after meals only. Take care!
