talk to your doc if you see … (such as change in the amount of urine).
Common side effects may include:

cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat.
try giving your child cranberry supplements of 250mg a day, see if this prevents the infections, but def follow up with your doc, they make chewables for kids too. Docs never seem to consider anything as a side effect from medications. Hope doc can help, you can do phone appt now till things settle down.
