Are Cold Sweat And Nose Bleed Reactions To Penicillin For Tonsillitis?

Son aged 3 has just been prescribed penicillin for tonsilitis. He has had one dose and then gone to bed as normal. However he has since woken up 3 times in 4 hours in a cold sweat and has just had a nose bleed. Is such a reaction normal, unrelated or cause for concern (I note that the tonsiltis had been causing cold sweats before but not as often)
