What Causes Rashes Behind The Ear While On Treatment For Chest Infection?

hi, my 15 month old son has been unwell, doctors said he has a chest infection and middle ear infection. He started antibiodics last night and has just come up with a red rash behind both ears, down his neck and right bown his back to his bum, a little also on his face. Could this just be a side effect to the antibiodic s or a reaction to something?

Hi,

Yes can be a side effect to the antibiotic, but also not. It could be that the disease is going forward even with the use of the medicine. There are some viral infections that can to do this too. Return to the pediatrician and ask a new exam.
