Hello, ma'am,

Although it is not impossible, it is difficult to determine if it is a reaction to the antibiotic or not

I would advise you to talk to your doctor as soon as possible to evaluate this rash and to start the process of validating or not if you have an allergy.

I hope this has been helpful to you and I am available if you have any further questions
