Hi
Welcome to the HCM
The rash is most likely due to penicillin allergic reactio n. Don't worry. You may give her antihistamine such as Chlorpheniramine or fexofenadine along with lactocalamine for local application. Hopefully this will improve in 48 hours. Ensure that she is not given penicillin group of drugs in future.
Take care
