What Causes Neck, Back, Chest And Stomach Rashes With Itching?
Hi, my 3 1/3 years old son had influenza A last month and took the tamiflu, right after that he had an year infection and took amoxicillin, the last dose was about 3 days ago. On the last couple of days, he developed a rash on the neck, back, chest and belly, it s a bit ichty. the area gets red with white center (round or straight lines). Is that a reaction to the antibiotic or something else?

Hello,
Allergies are generally seen within a few minutes to hours of intake of medicine or food. It doesn't look like its an allergic reaction to the antibiotic. I would suggest you recollect what your child has had exactly before the rash developed. If the symptoms persist, it is best to meet your local pediatrician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
