Can amoxicillin come out in stool of 6 month old?

Question

amoxicillin was precribed for my 6mth old for an ear infection. after 4 days of usage which is 3/4 tsp twice a day, i noticed a pinkish color in her stool - is this normal?

Answer 1

yes it is normal. and expect it for at least a few days after the doses stop.  

Answer 2

Yes, we don't always digest stuff completely, babies have a less developed digestive system than adults, so expect to see even more undigested stuff that is not normal for the child to ingest, like medicine.

Answer 3

It is more than likely the dye in the medicine.  Most medicines, especially antibiotics, will change the color of urine and/or stool.  If you're really worried about it, then you should call her pediatrician.
