Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
You have developed allergic reaction to Amoxycillin, contained in Amoxclav.
STOP Amoxclav IMMEDIATELY and switch over to another safe alternative antibiotic, in consultation with your doctor.
For the allergic reaction, take Prednisolone (10mg thrice daily x 2 days, twice daily x 2 days and, once a day x 1 day; in addition, Cetirizine 10mg thrice daily for 4-5 days till the rash subsides completely.
Contact your doctor IMMEDIATELY if you develop breathing difficulty or any other serious problem.
Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me and will prescribe the advised drugs in appropriate doses.
If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.
