[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1142 is right.  My daughter seems to get an amoxicillin rash which are tiny dots on her chest and back that are not itchy (she couldn't care less).  I have shown pics of the rash to three doctors and they describe it as non-descript- it's not hives.  At this point she can take the drug again.  An allergy typically is very itchy, which it sounds like your child has.  [/quote]

DH gets a "viral" rash every time he has a virus. It sounds a lot like what you describe. Tiny dots on his chest, back, and arms. Never bothers him but he gets it with every virus that he gets.[/quote]

That's actually what the doctors think it is, and that it's just a coincidence it happens when she was on amoxicillin. [/quote]

I've also heard that it is some kind of unknown interaction between the virus and the amoxicillin, but still not a true allergy.  [/quote]

Has anyone had an experience with this more recently? My one year old just developed a full body rash after finishing his 10th day of amox.  He is itchy around ears and head (particularly at bedtime), but otherwise in an ok mood.  Dr thinks it's just a "side effect" of the amox (NOT an allergic reaction), but want to see him to check whether the ear infection went away.  [/quote]
There was actually a thread very recently: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1092459.page[/quote]
