Hi.Thanks for writing on HCM.
I have deeply read your query and totally understand your concern.The white patches on your child's tongue are due to fever(geographic tongue).It will disappear gradually as the fever subsides.
There are only a few cases of penicillin allergy reported with family history I is not a must that he should be allergic since you were allergic.I were to put him on clarithromycin or azithromycin as a precautionary measure.Hope this answers your query.
