it's kind of hard to see in the photos- but his rash came back on
friday- with a
vengeance!
Saturday morning he was covered in hives from his nose to his toes- so we took him to Urgent Care to have it checked out. As you can see in picture #2- he was fine. No fever or anything else alarming- just covered in little red bumps. Poor baby. After being there 2 1/2 hours, we finally got to see his doctor and he determined that it's a "non-allergic"
amoxicillin rash. So there you have it. Because the rash was gone for two or three days (we can't remember exactly) -the first rash was probably caused by a virus, and the second rash from the
amoxicillin. Hope he doesn't need too many antibiotics in the future....

I'm glad your little one feels better now.
My son had an allergic rash reaction to amoxicillin. His rash was splotchy and itched.
I read that 9% of kids get a rash with amoxicillin and only 20% of them tested positive for an actual allergy when a skin test was performed.
