Good morning, ma'am, Considering the rash during treatment, it is impossible without a thorough evaluation to determine if amoxicillin is the cause. Therefore, I strongly suggest that you consult with your pharmacist who can customize a consultation and if deemed necessary contact the prescriber. I would like to point out, however, that the prescriber may ask to see your child again to both assess the rash and reassess the appropriateness of the treatment. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
