Why Did I Get Severe Itching On Both My Thighs Along With Raised Bumps After Taking Amoxicillin?

Hello. I took amoxcillin an woke up in the middle of the night with terrible itching on both my inner thighs. When I looked, at my thighs, they had raised bumps. The itching lasted for two weeks and some days. Could it be that I was allergic to the pills?

Pulmonologist 's  Response
Hello,

Yes. I also think this is a light Alergo reaction due to Amoxicillin. No worries. Just talk with your treating doctor to stop it and to substitute it with another class of antibiotic if needed.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
