Small Child, Bruises On Legs, Nose Bleeds, Rashes. Taking Amoxicillin. Causes For Symptoms?
my 2 year old daughter was taking amoxicillin and was taken off it as she was getting a rash . she is now getting alot of bruises on her legs. i see this can also be a side effect. she has not been on it for a few days now. will it just work itself out on its own or should we take her to the doctor again? she was also having nose bleeds but that seems to have cleared up.

Hi,
Thank you for your query,
Bruises on legs and the nose bleeding some times due to viral hemorrhagic fever like Dengue fever.
Or it may be some form of vasculitis like Henoch Schonlein Purpura.
So take your child to your Pediatrician for the examination of the bruises and further investigations and management.
Hope i have answered your query.

Hi thanks for your question.
You daughter has developed allergic reaction to amoxicillin.Since you have stopped amoxicillin hopefully it will go of itself and there is nothing to worry.In case rash and bruise remained persistent even after a week and/or new bruises appeared get your daughter examined by a physician who may be able to tell you what exactly these bruises are and may prescribe appropriate treatment.
Hope this answers your question.

Hello
She was getting amoxicillin for some kind of illness which you have not mentioned and then developed rashes. But it is not clear for which disease she was getting the medication and this bruise is same as the rash developed earlier.
You have mentioned that she also had nasal bleeding. Nasal bleeding with rash or bruises may be due to decreased platelet which is not a side effect of amoxicillin.
So I would suggest you to visit your doctor again to find out that these rashes are really a side effect of amoxicillin or due to some other cause.
Regards

Hi
Thanks for your query.
Since she is having rash,bruise and nose bleeds.she needs to be evaluated for any hemorrhagic disease, or any vasculitis.
Her symptoms may be of some underlying disease ,not directly related to amoxicillin which will otherwise go off after stopping medicine.
I suggest you to take her to pediatrician for proper evaluation and management.
Your daughter will be fine.
God bless

Hello I have gone through your complaints. The rash and bleeding seems to be a coincidental findings. We need to work out about the increased bleeding tendency. Coagulation profile has to be sent and basic investigations like platelet count has to be done so that it can give you a view. The other which has to be ruled out is that any history of injury like fall on ground etc..
Thank you. Good day
