Hi,

Sorry to hear of your sickness. On the basis of the history you provided it looks like you have got a sever allergic reaction to azithro.

The description you described indicate a more serious reaction more likely steven johnson syndrome.i would suggest to stop Amoxil and urgently move to ER, as you may need admission and iv steroids and fluids.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
