Have Rashes And Swollen Lip. Taking Antibiotic. Side Effects?

I have been taking Amoxicillin for 9 days now (the doctor gave me a course of 10 days worth) and my skin is now so painful. I have rashes all over and now my lip is swollen inside and I am worried that it is going to get worse. Can I stop taking the antibiotic? Surely 10 days of Amoxicillin is excessive (for a chest infection, which has cleared up several days ago)?
