Brief Answer:
Late allergic reaction to amoxicillin.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think it is an allergic reaction to amoxicillin and clavulonate. It is possibly a late allergic reaction to this drug. You may need to stop using it anymore and I think nine days are enough for a respiratory tract infection.
You can use antihistamines such benadryl or citerizine for itching and rush.
Hope I have answered the question.
