    Yes, the rash could last a couple of days. Jack is allergic to one type of antibiotics too. If she still seems ill, you can take her back and ask for different antibiotics - she most likely would be fine with a different type. Go with your instinct. Panadol is ok for a little while, but I would be wary about giving it for too long.

    The antibiotics may not have had enough time to completely get rid of the infection so if your child is still not well, I don't think it is unreasonable to go back to the GP and ask for a prescription for a diff AB.

    Yes, you can continue to give panadol, but like Mantaray said, I would be disinclined to give it for a long period of time. If she is still needing it for pain (or fever), go back to the GP. You could also consider giving neurophen which has a longer acting time than panadol.

    HTH and hope your little one gets better soon.

    My DS2 is allergic to penacillin, he came out with a rash, i stopped it straight away and was given a different antibiotic as it was for an ear infection aswell.

    Like MG said if she is still ill take her back for a different antibiotic...
    Hope she recovers soon.
