Allergy To Amoxicillin
(Newest replies first)

My almost 10 month old was on amoxicillin for 6 days and began to develop an allergic reaction - bad diarrhea and a red rash on her cheeks; I stopped giving it to her-her last dose was 2 days ago and she still has the diarrhea and rash-how long before it goes away? My doctor prescribed her a different antibiotic but we have not started it yet, I'm almost afraid to.

Yes, definitely speak to your doctor, he should make sure from now on to prescribe a totally different class of antibiotic to prevent that from happening to your daughter again. If you aren't sure, ask the pharmacist when you go in to get the scrip filled. Tell then she is allergic to it, then if your doc gives you the wrong thing their computer will immediately flag it and refuse to let them dispense anything that could cause the same reaction.

As to how long it lasts, it is very hard to say since everyone is different and it also depends on how bad the rash was and how sensitive her skin is, it could take 2 weeks or more.

talk to your doctor about it and really talk about, make him explain the new drug to you before you use it.
