Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences severe allergic reactions. These can include difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, or hives. Don’t hesitate; call emergency services immediately.
Severe Side Effects Requiring Urgent Care
Contact your doctor or seek emergency care if your child develops severe abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea (indicating potential colitis), or persistent vomiting. These symptoms could signify serious complications. Note the frequency and severity of symptoms when contacting medical professionals.
Less Urgent, But Still Important
Contact your pediatrician if you notice significant changes in your child’s behavior, such as unusual lethargy or confusion, or if their jaundice worsens. While not always emergencies, these warrant prompt attention. Also report any significant new rashes or skin changes after starting Zithromax.
