Could Splotchy Raised Rash On Cheeks, Chin And Palm Be Due To Antibiotics For Ear Infection?

My 19 month old has a splotchy raised rash on his cheeks, chin, palms, arms, belly, and feet. He has been on an antibiotic for an ear infection for the last ten days (sulfamethaxone?). Could this be antibiotic related or is it something else? Thank you.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, this appears to be a allergic reaction due to the drug that you are giving. I think you should stop the drug immediately and should give hydroxizine syrup 5 ml PO three times a day for 3 days. Take care.
