What Cause Red Bumps Around The Mouth While On Amoxil For Bronchitis?
My 1 and half year old has bronchitis and is taking amoxil three times a day now he is breaking out with red bumps around his mouth one bump looks like a clear blister ready to pop. What is it? Should i be concerned about allergic reaction to medication?
As per your complain red bumps around the mouth, if occurred after taking Amoxil that is an antibiotic, the it can be due to allergic reaction to the antibiotic. However fluid filled blisters can also be due to Herpes virus infection causing cold sores. So in order to confirm you should consult a Pediatrician and get a thorough examination done and if needed a blood test can also be done to rule out the exact cause and will be treated accordingly.
In case if it is due to allergic reaction then Pediatrician can change the antibiotic and advise anti allergics like benadryl for relief. In case of viral infection antiviral medications like Acyclovir oral as well as topical can be advised.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
