What Causes Discoloration Around Eyes After Having Amoxicillin?

My daughter has strep throat and is taking amoxicillin. She is 4 years old. She started with vomiting on Thursday night. Starting taking meds on Friday. She now has somewhat of a discoloration around her eyes - red and almost like whiteness more so than her normal face color. Could this be allergic reaction or possbly somthing else?

Hi...this can be a drug allergy for Amoxycillin as you are confirmedly telling that it started after the drug. I suggest you stop Amoxycillin and take her back to her pediatrician.
