What Is The Cause For Blotchy,red Rash On The Feet And Hands?
my 9 year old daughter is on cephalexin antibiotic for a sinus infection and yesterday her feet hurt and I saw blothchy red rash on the bottom of her feet and a few on her hands. They are not itchy or raised, just blotchy. Can it be a reaction to the antibiotics?
Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction to antibiotics. I suggest using an antihistamine such as Benadryl to treat the rash. I also suggest to avoid the use of antibiotics an consult your doctor about an alternative medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi General & Family Physician
