Could Rashes On Knee And Ear Be Due To Amoxicillin In A 22 Month Old?

My 22 month old grandaughter has been put on apoamoxol(amoxicilan suspension)? for a sore throat and ear infection. She has been breaking out in a rash on her knees and behind her neck. She has really red cheeks and someone thought she had fist (?) disease. Phoned her doctor and she advised my daughter if she has fist disease there is nothing you can give her for her she will just outgrow it. My concern is that I, the grandmother is allergic to penicillan as was my father. My daughter has never had penicillan as or family dr. at the time didnt give it to her because of family allergy. Could my grandaughter be allergic to penicillan? diane

Hi.. Thanks for asking us.
From allergic history you have in your family.. it may be possible that your grand daughter developed these rashes due to allergy towards amoxcillin suspension which belongs to penicillin group..

First disease means Measles which is also another expected cause for this rash..

Either case your babys rash can be solved by taking anti histminic syrup and paracetamol syrup if she develops fever.. stop amoxcillin syrup.. use different antibiotic next time if need arises.

HOPE IT HELPS..
