What Causes Severe Itching In The Hands After Taking Amoxicillin?

I took an amoxicillin before going to bed and about a half hour to 45 minutes later my hands and feet started itching really bad, then I started itching really bad all over, little bumps/rash broke out all over my body. Stomach started hurting and felt really nauseous, had diarrhea and vomiting at same time. Is this an allergic reaction to the medicine? Should I take a benadryl?
