Back again, this time asking about a mysterious rash that started after 10 days of ear drops and antibiotics for an ear infection. Is this just a reaction to the meds? It’s all over his body, behind one ear as well. Doctor didn’t have much to say.

Was he taking amoxicillin by chance? My brother had a very similar rash on his neck after having amoxicillin for 2-3 consecutive ear infections. Turns out he has a penicillin allergy and when the doctor switched his meds it all cleared up.

I had a friend whose daughter had this happen. She had taken amoxicillin 3-4 times before & never had a reaction. Sometimes it just develops at any moment! It’s crazy!

Thanks ladies, I’m thinking it could be that.. he had issues as a baby with penicillin but the last year he has been fine until a recurring ear infection the last 2 months. I just found it odd he didn’t get a reaction WHILE taking it, but it started about half a day after his last dose! We’re on day 2 almost 3 of no meds now 🥺

Came here to say this! If it’s amoxicillin it’s probably an allergic reaction!
