4 Month Old Virus or Something Else?? Help

Diarrhea is a known side effect of amoxicilin. As long as you can keep him taking fluids.

At four months did he just start table foods? Its possible that the crabbiness is due to teething, and/or adjusting to the new food. My kids always had poop issues when they were teething. They also had them when they started new foods that didn't agree with them. Diarrhea can be a sign of a virus, it can also be a sign that your baby isn't digesting a new food well.

I think a lot of the problem started when the antibiotics were prescribed. They don't solve nearly as many problems as they are prescribed for. I'd go see another doctor... A not-so-prescription happy one. I wish your little guy a fast recovery, and for you, and answer to what is going on!

BTW, many ear infections can clear up WITHOUT antibiotics anyways!

I think you are doing all you can, and it's good that you kept up on taking him to the doctor, and that they are doing some tests on him to hopefully see what is going on. Try not to worry yourself anymore than you are, it wont help anything. Just hang in there, and hopefully they find you some answers soon.

I hope he feels better soon!

When they're that little, it takes a long time for diarrhea to clear their system, sometimes weeks. I know it must be very scary, but it's good they're keeping an eye on him. Hang in there, and I hope it gets better soon!
