Reflux in 2yo - Can Anti-B’s cause this?

Perhaps a silly question, I'm just a little concerned that over the past week Lucas has been burping A LOT and making that sound where *stuff* is coming back up in his throat and he's getting to the point where he's going to bring it back up, he's only gone so far as bringing it up once ...but none the less I'm worried as he NEVER used to do this (apart from when he was a wee bub). He's been on Anti-biotics for a week, finished em up yesterday (for tonsillitis & ears). I don't think they've cured his tonsillitis ...infact I fear he may end up needing them out but thats a whole other story.

He's only seemed to display this refluxy thing since he's been on them, and now that he's come off he's doing it quite a lot, has anyone else found this happened with their baby/toddler too when they were on AB's for something?

We were given eurythimican (sp?)- I think the last time he had tonsillitis he was given amoxicillan and we didn't have this prob.

Thoughts please? Is it worth taking him back to the GP? (my guess is yes it is, just don't want Doc to think I'm a hypocondriac ... )

Did they say why he was put on erythromycin? I only ask as I am very allergic to it so have to mention it at medical appointments and they are always surprised that I was given it - apparently it is usually only given if you are unable to have penicillin, which is what amoxicillan is.

I was 16 when I had it for tonsillitis when I was at bording school in England and it caused so much pain and vomiting that they thought I needed to have my apendix out! My poor my was in NZ and was about to jump on a plane back to England

ETA - I would go back to the Doctor and get your DS checked out again and ask why it was prescribed.
