What Causes Rashes And Blisters On Foot After Taking Amoxicilin?

Hi, I have been taking Amoxicilin for 4 days. Yesterday I developed a rash on 1 foot (top) and today I have blisters on the same rash. No rash anywhere else. I was told by my pharmacist that this can occur when taking this medication and would go away ater I m done taking it. Is this accurate, should I be concerned? Should I STOP taking the Amoxicilin ( 3 days worth remain)? Thanks for any advice...

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction to Amoxicillin.

I suggest to stop this medication.

I also suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily.

I recommend using Calamine lotion for local application at the area if the rash.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
