My son was given amoxicillin for his ear infection, he's only had a chance to take one dose since we picked the prescription up last night its 15mls 3x daily hes 8yrs old and 92lbs ... Well he's been sleep walking/talking all night with body twitching and screaming in fear almost. He woke up or so i thought he did and said His eyes burned they are very very very blood shot red like I've never seen someone's eyes this irritated... He Has a very light rash across his upper torso and face, no swelling or fever.. He's had this medicine a long time ago with no issues but now im not sure what to do. Can the amoxicillin be causing this? Do i take him to the Dr during regular business hours or take Him to the emergency room?

@km416 the good thing is that my son gets along with drs and all medicines he's ever had to take lol it makes this experience easier to desk with. My other 2 kids will throw there meds up lol .. Hopefully he's not allergic to every cillin like i am though it makes it hard when you Need medicine
@1family1, I would be mad poor baby suffering rashes for no reason but silver lining now you know he can’t take it
@zachattackmomma @queenmee @km416 alright ladies i took my son back to the emergency department today and they said that sometimes on rare occasions an allergic reaction to amoxicillin can cause hallucinations,night terrors, sleep walking etc... Along with the rash.. So they said he no longer can have amoxicillin which up until now he was able to take. But what the dr ( different dr from prior visit) at the er told me next made me upset, she checked my son over and said his ears were fine, and that he didn't even need antibiotics in the first place that he just had a minor cold stuffy nose, sore throat etc.and that the amount they prescribed him too take was more for a child who would have a severe double ear infection, they had him taking 15mls of amoxicillin for nothing!!. I swear my poor son went through hell and i got zero sleep because they had him taking a medicine he didn't even need.. But tonight thus far has gone smoothly besides the low grade fever.
@1family1, my son had an allergic reaction thru my breast milk one time. That was the last time I have ever taken it...lol I’m afraid it will happen again
@queenmee yea i left a message for him. He doesn't return calls over the weekend and i might end up taking him to the ER again. I stopped the meds he's awake now for the day he has a low grade fever but said he doesn't feel itchy which is good i think.
if you feel your son is developing an allergic reaction to his meds, you should call his doc ASAP!
@zachattackmomma im trying not to freak out just because he's breathing fine and there's no swelling, and its 4am, and the other side of me wants to take him in but knowing the er drs they will just say he's fine and that the medicine has nothing to do with the sleep issues tonight.. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this before?
@1family1, always ask a doctor!! Call them ASAP if you believe something is wrong!
@zachattackmomma yes, but he's been taking amoxicillin and penicillin all his life (he's 8) never had as issue with it but he's never had to take 15mls asst once 3xs daily though, at most it would be like 7.5ml 2x daily. And its been about a year since he's had any cillins in his system
@1family1, did you tell the doctor that both you and your daughter are allergic to that medicine?
@beemommyof3. Yea im really allergic to all cillins so is my daughter. He's had 2 sets of tubes placed in his ears and has always had to be put on antibiotics and had never had an issue. Until last night.. I've been up all night keeping him outta of my other Kids rooms and he keeps screaming and he is sweating alot. No fever though. And he hasn't really actually woken up yet just sleep walking/talking
I’m so happy you took him in. Y’all have my prayers❤️
