Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my baby three months old had a infection in eye which gave him an upper respitory infection they put him on augmentin and he has been of that for three weeks but has a rash on both cheeks but started on the one with the cheek with the infected eye it is very dry and scally and lotion seems to make it worse? what could it be?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Being on Augmentin for 3 weeks is quite a long course and it should treat any bacterial infection sensitive to Augmentin.
How is baby now, feeding well? Having fever or cough? If that is the case you should ask your doctor for some blood tests.
How is rash, only on cheeks or whole body/trunk? Do you have any family member with similar rash?
For eye problem if the eye is red with yellowish discharge you may need to put antibiotics and lubricant eye drops. At this stage being on Augmentin for 3 weeks it's better to ask your doctor for blood investigations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
