Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Amoxicillin can cause diarrhea at times but with all other symptoms going on I think this is a viral infection. You should take him to the hospital today as sometimes severe dehydration can cause imbalance of electrolyte in the blood and need intravenous treatment. Also if he isn't able to keep anything down then we need other forms of therapy to give the medicines also.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshita
