Yes skin rashes or photo-toxicity is the side effect of fluoroquinolone group of drugs most commonly with sparfloxacine or ofloxacine and sometimes with ciprofloxacine also. For that you just have to give your daughter syrup pheniramine 5 ml three times daily with syrup vomikind 5 ml twice daily for vomiting. Instead of oflox syrup you can use nor-metrogyl syrup because it is quite safer as far as skin rashes or photo-toxicity is concerned.
