[quote=Anonymous]I would actually take her to an allergist ASAP to figure out whether this is an adverse reaction to amoxicillin, or a true allergic reaction. The way you describe it sounds like a true allergic reaction (technically, "serum-sickness like reaction.") My DS had this at 10 months as well, along with a very high fever. It was misdiagnosed at Childrens. The difference is, that with an amoxicillin adverse reaction, it's not a true allergy and the child can take penicillin in the future. But with a serum sickness reaction, they cannot. http://umm.edu/health/medical/altmed/condition/serum-sickness https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/are-you-sure-youre-allergic-to-penicillin/ I can't remember how long it lasted acutely, but I don't think it was 10 days. We didn't even get prescribed steroids. [/quote]
