Hi,
I went through the query and understood your concern.
The most probable cause for all your symptoms is drug reaction. As explained by you amoxicillin has caused rashes all over the body. Since there is allergic reaction the present symptoms are present.
1. Never take this drug (amoxixillin or any penicillin group of drugs)
2. Always inform health care professionals about your allergic to penicillin.
3. For now to reduce the reaction and also symptoms antihistamine like chlorpheniramine maleate or cetrizine and also steroids like prednizolone will help you. If severe reactions or if it does not improve with the above drugs needs to visit ER.
