Why Is There Red Spots On My Babies Body After Giving Megamox 228 Mg ?
I was using a megamox 228 mg for my 6 month baby girl for 3 days only 4ml, then I saw red spots in her full body, so my question how is this bad?

Hello
Welcome to HCM
Megamox is an antibiotic containing amoxicillin, a penicillin derivative.
Some people are allergic to penicillin and so they have side effects like rash, itching or diarrhoea etc .on consuming amoxicillin.
Please do not panic, if she has no other symptoms only rash then its not worrisome.just keep your baby well hydrated, well fed and you can give her anti histaminics, antiallergen syrup as per your doctors advice if she has itching.mild calamine lotion may provide soothing effect.
The rash wil resolve on its own in two three days after the antibiotic is stopped.
If she has any other symptoms like breathing difficulty, or swelling or fever kindly consult your doctor promptly.
Thank you
