Viral Examtham in a Two Year Old

This happened to my son also with amoxicillan... He was on his 10th day & broke out in a Terrible rash (No fever)... Took him to ER & they said he was Allergic to the amoxicillan!! I was shocked because he had been on the med for 10 days!! They said sometimes it takes that long to get into your system & cause a reaction.... They told me to give him benadryl & within 2 days the rash was gone...Maybe your baby has had an allergic reaction & your pediatrican may recommend another approach.. Blessings to you!! Aveeno cream is also wonderful!

My daughter was on amoxicillan for an ear infection about a year ago and the same thing happened. The day after finishing the antibiotic she got the rash and the pediatrician said it looked like a food allergy. By the next day she was bruising over the rash and her legs were swelling, then a different Dr at the same office said it was serum sickness, which is basically a allergic reaction to the antibiotic she was on. She was put on a steroid and strong antihistamine. So no more penicillan based antibiotic for her. Glad your ped. was able to diagnose it sooner for you. Rash went away in about a week. Good luck!

It is probably a delayed reaction to amoxil. It happened to my nephew on the 11th day of 10 day Amoxil so he can no longer take any of the cillian family drugs. After she gets better, take he back and get a strep test again. MAke sure they get behind the uvula and swipe at least one tonsil. Make sure they send it to the lab. Please take this seriously because there is a condition known as PANDAS when strep is still hiding out in the system with no symptoms except behaviors that come on suddenly from strep A. Oh, and get her on probiotics right away to deal with the effects of antibiotics! I'm also a big believer in NAET treatment because this allergy will lead to many food allergies! Check it out.

The drugs are making the child toxic! I'd get her on probiotics and a low dose of MMS (miracle mineral supplement) which most M.D.s are clueless about. Oatmeal baths are good, also sea salt baths and pure aloe vera can help her skin.

I agree. It sounds NOTHING like Roseola, but more like an allergic reaction. I had a couple when I was a kid and that's what happened to me. Benadryl worked great for it. I would ask a doctor about dosing mixing it with steroids that are in her system. That ER doc sounds like he did not know what on earth he was talking about.

It's probably not roseola. My daughter got roseola following a diarrheal infection. She had a very high fever for 3-4 days. The fever got better in the morning , and she was covered in a rash by the evening. The rash didn't seem to bother her a bit and went away completely within 48 hours.

Examtham just means that she had a rash. I guess they didn't know what was causing it. Be careful with hydrocortizone, and don't use it without instructions from her doctor. It's also a steroid.

I would take her back to the doc. Roseola shouldn't be itchy and it shouldn't last this long.

This must be an allergic reaction to something....try www.naet.com and you´ll be surprised
