What Causes Facial Swelling While On Amoxicillin?
My son started taking amoxicillin for Strept that the doctor mentioned to us that it s a strept that lays dormant that he didn t have a fever or sore throat.. But culture came back positive.. He has taken 3 doses and tonight the right front side of his face is starting to swell.. What does this mean

Hello.
This is likely an allergic reaction to the amoxicllin and he can take benadryl for the reaction but he needs to call his doctor so that he can be switched to a different antibiotic
