Does Amoxicillin Cause Rashes All Over The Body?

Hi , My 9 year old child was diagnosed with strep throat .He got amoxicillin and 6 days after taking it he had a rash all over the body . The rash started to clear up the face the next day and cleared the body in 2 days . Today is the 6th day and the itch on the bottom of his feet is insane . We are awake all night ( 3rd night ) and sleeps a few during the day when his feet is in cold water. He stopped Amoxicillin and doctor switched to Zitromax ,finished yesterday. Benadril , Claritin did not help with the itch but still taking claritin. I applied almost every cream I could buy at pharmacy , nothing helped only the cold water. Is there any other remedy or I can do for the itch go away ? No rash on the feet

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Based on your description, it appears that your child could have contacted with allergic symptoms to medications prescribed. You can administer syrup containing Cetirizine to overcome itching symptom on the feet. Also, you can administer multivitamin syrup in addition. Along with that you can apply moisturizer cream or lotion at bedtime. Gradually, the symptoms should subside completely.
