My son has pimples on his lower body, is it the hand-foot-mouth or an allergy to his antiibotics?

Question

Hello My son received today a perception for an otitis following a 72h of fever and congestion. The first dose was given at dinner (Cefprozil). I received a call from the daycare center saying that there are cases of foot hand mouth. At the bath I notice pimples on the foot, calf, thigh, buttocks of my guy. And my questioning, is it PMB or a reaction to his antibiotic? Knowing that he already made a reaction to the penicillin!

Hello ma'am, thank you for your question! I'm sorry to read about little one's troubles! Unfortunately, it is very difficult to determine the cause of the rash. However, as a precautionary measure, we should make sure that the situation is taken care of quickly. I strongly advise contacting the doctor to assess the situation and re-evaluate the appropriateness of your little one's treatment. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
