Hello,
Thank you for your question and welcome to Health Care Magic. I read your query and I understand your concern and the anguish that you are having.

Antibiotics are usually very strong medications and they can start an allergic reaction in the body. There are a few complications that can occur when you take medications. Along with the rash, there is a small chance that your son can have difficulty with breathing. I think that you should see a Doctor as soon as possible to get treated for the rash.

Follow up after 5 days. All the best.
Hope this helps you. Feel free to clarify further.
