That's good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-reaction#post-2557351 Thu, 26 May 2016 15:12:48 +0000 Hoots 2557351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Yeah the ped. apologized profusely to me when I brought her in. Apparently it's common enough on babies that she typically warns parents when she writes the Rx, but forgot to with me. The rash scared the crap out of me, but didn't bother DD all that much at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-reaction#post-2557331 Thu, 26 May 2016 15:01:17 +0000 BSB 2557331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hoots: Ah, thanks. My sister mentioned amoxicilin rash but I didn't have the time yet to ask her if this is an allergic rash or something that is common. Good to know. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-reaction#post-2557307 Thu, 26 May 2016 14:36:37 +0000 Hoots 2557307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's just Amoxicillin rash, then shouldn't be classified as an allergic reaction. It's a side effect and doesn't indicate an allergy to penicillin. We just went through this. Ped and multiple pharmacists agreed. It still should be evaluated by ped.</p> <p>Eta: DD's happened about a week after her first dose. It was about an hour after her morning dose. Rash spread quickly and looked like tiny red bumps. It subsided for a bit and then settled into a patchy looking rash. It lasted a few days. Ped said that was classic presentation, so not sure if the same holds up if the rash shows up after a first dose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-reaction#post-2557233 Thu, 26 May 2016 13:49:49 +0000 catomd00 2557233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband got one on the last day of taking it. It was little red bumps all over his body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-reaction#post-2557218 Thu, 26 May 2016 13:37:57 +0000 nana87 2557218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo had an allergic reaction to amoxicillin but it didn't show up for about a week, which the dr said was standard presentation for a penicillin allergy. </p> [attach=1484/16/o7srxw.600x450.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-reaction#post-2557213 Thu, 26 May 2016 13:36:34 +0000 Canoli 2557213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son has gotten a rash after being on amoxicillin even though he had been on it several times previously. Our ped thought it was virus related because it was only the rash and didn't have any other symptoms. Definitely worth getting checked out though. These things are so hard to figure out sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-reaction#post-2557212 Thu, 26 May 2016 13:35:23 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2557212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nephew had a reaction to Amoxicillin for his ear infection. He got a rash all over his body...the poor guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-reaction#post-2557170 Thu, 26 May 2016 13:14:04 +0000 MrsBrewer 2557170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my! I have no idea.....I just know that my MIL has a severe allergy to Penicillin, and can't have anything with it. I also know that since my MIL has a severe allergy to it, my DH has never been given in either just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amoxicillin-reaction#post-2557107 Thu, 26 May 2016 13:00:00 +0000 BSB 2557107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD had a little bit of a red/pink rash with little bumps about an hour after giving her Amoxicilllin for the first time.</p> <p>I called the pediatrician after hours line. By the time they called back about 2 hours after the medicine was given, the rash was going away.</p> <p>The pediatrician want to follow up and see her today. I wonder if it's an allergy and they'll give her another antibiotic for her conjunctivitis and ear infection. </p> <p>Oh, DH is allergic to Augmentin. </p>
