Posted on Tue, 4 Apr 2017

Question: My Daughter had been prescribed amoxicillin for Scarlet fever, and was prescribed too much by mistake, The Doctor made a mistake while ordering it and told me at the time, the next week on Saturday morning my Sun came down with exactly the same symptoms fever vomiting knowing it to be very contagious I believe he had XXXXXXX fever too, so I gave him the amoxicillin as I was worried, Monday morning I booked an appointment for him to go to the same Doctor my wife took him in, not knowing lve been giving amoxicillin to him, I believe the Doctor would prescribed amoxicillin she didn't and said to bring him in if he developes a rash, so I'm worried about my actions will speak to the Doctor tomorrow

No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for posting your query.

There is nothing to worry about . But do inform that you have started Amoxacillin as sometimes starting early Antibiotic shall prevent development of rashes. In that case you doctor may advise to continue full course of Amoxacillin.

Hope this information was useful to you.
