Can Benedryl Be Given To A Child For Rashes After Taking Amoxicillin?
My 4 year old son had an ear infection and was prescribed amoxicillan. He's been taking it for 8 days and last night he broke out into a rash. The rash is still there and slightly worse. I have stopped with the amoxicillan. He doesn't have any other sypmtoms. Can I give him Benedryl for the rash?

dear parent,
if the rash is after eight days its advisable to see a doctor for the problem. ASAP.
Did rash disappear after withdrawal of amoxicillin? If not then cause of rash may be something else.
In any case consulting a doctor is better.
