Hi,

As per your complain red bumps around the mouth, if occurred after taking Amoxil that is an antibiotic, the it can be due to allergic reaction to the antibiotic. However fluid filled blisters can also be due to Herpes virus infection causing cold sores. So in order to confirm you should consult a Pediatrician and get a thorough examination done and if needed a blood test can also be done to rule out the exact cause and will be treated accordingly.

In case if it is due to allergic reaction then Pediatrician can change the antibiotic and advise anti allergics like benadryl for relief. In case of viral infection antiviral medications like Acyclovir oral as well as topical can be advised.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
