Hello Doctor,

What could be causing my 9-month-old son to have frequent watery diarrhea and refuse his usual foods after being treated for dehydration and given antibiotics at the hospital?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Diarrhea occurring after the administration of oral antibiotics might indicate an adverse reaction, potentially due to the elimination of beneficial gut bacteria. 

Thanks
