What Is The Cause For The Rash On The Body After Being Treated With Antibiotics For Strep Throat?
Hi, My son was diagnosed with strep throat two days ago, and was giving antibiotics. He had a small red rash on his body, now it seems to have got more aggressive looking on his face. He is 14 months old and has never been sick, I am worried about the rash

Hello!
there can be 2 possibilities here!
first one is that the rash may be due to a reaction to the antibiotic and you must change the antibiotic
secondly your son may not be having a strep infection, rather he may be having a viral infection, please meet your doctor again to confirm this.
thanks
