What Causes Small Bumps On Forehead And Eyelids After Taking Amoxicillin?
Hello my 11 month old son had a fever for 4 days and was seen at the ER yesterday. They diagnosed him with an ear infection and gave him amoxicillin to treat it. He has taken two doses so far and I ve noticed little bumps on his forehead, eyelids, chin and neck that looks like a rash. Should I take him back to the ER in case this is an allergic reaction to the medicine?

it looks like an allergic reaction to amoxcillin. stop giving amoxcillin. meet the doctor your child was seen yesterday. if it is clearly allergic reaction , he will start suitable substitute for amxcillin. no need to go emergency room unless child develops difficulty in breathing or facial swelling or rash increasing rapidly.
