Hello.
Thank you for asking at HCM.
If fact, amoxycillin & ibuprofen - both can cause skin rashes. So it is difficult to say which actually cause this. Not only medications, but sometimes excipients or other additives in a liquid formulation can also cause skin rashes.
As your daughter is perfectly fine apart from skin rashes, I would not suspect any serious drug reaction here.
So please don't worry.
Your consultation with your doctor on Friday will help you even more.
Hope this was helpful to you.
Wish your daughter the best of the recovery.
Regards.
