What is this??? Ds had a double ear infection over the weekend and started on amoxicillin. I just noticed this today he seems fussy and tired but that's it no more fever
Same thing happened to my son. He broke out in a similar rash a week after finishing a course of amoxicillin. We never did get to the bottom of it. He was super lethargic and fussy. His pediatrician ordered blood work and his levels were super funky. We got referred to a pediatric hematologist. We saw him 3 times for subsequent blood work and everything slowly returned to normal. He hasn't had any issues since. His pediatrician won't prescribe amoxicillin to him anymore though just as a precaution.
Id still keep an eye on him and see if I could get a hold of the pediatrician at least over the phone tomorrow.
Every time I've had a reaction and called in, they told me it was a normal side effect. That is, until I had to go into the ER.
I'm not saying this to freak you out, just to let you know.
I called our nurse line. She said it didn't sound like an allergic reaction and to continue the Amox.
After reading one of your posts it seems like roseola since he had a fever. The rash appears after the fever breaks. It's not itchy or painful. It'll eventually go away on its own without any treatment. It might last a few days. My son had this when he was younger and the rash lasted a day or so.
Thank you all I will contact his pediatrician again !
