Can A Heat Rash Around My Mid-drift, Be Allergic Reaction To Antibiotic?

I had a chest infection, finished antibiotics on Sunday, developed a rash in the past three days which appears to be getting worse, starting like a heat rash around my mid-drift, but has spread and is getting intense, I was on 500mg Augmentin 3 times a day, do you think this is an allergic reaction to the antibiotic thanks
