Hello,
No, this is not due to fever. Amoxicillin drug can cause allergic reaction similar to your description.
So, it is better to consult pediatrician and first rule out allergic reaction. She may need to stop amoxicillin and start anti allergic drugs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
