Thanks Rivlas, i have just given him a cool bath and the rash is still there, its even on his skin around his doodle. I have put the aircon on to help cool him down also.
He seams quite happy although he did not enjoy his bath and every now and then he has a litttle winge.

Its probably a viral rash hun. Just the infection working its way out of his system
If its not causing him any discomfort I wouldn't be too worried.
Viral rashes are usually just small red dots on white all over. HTH

Thanks bjrose, i thought of that also, its pretty full on, it is red on white, some raised some flat.
The antibiotics dont seam to be working well though, he is still quite chesty and wheezy.
He started them last mon, he has 3ml twice a day, its called maxamox suspension, it contains amoxycillin.
He has finally fallen asleep.

Edit. He has just woken screaming and his rash is even worse, made a dr appointment, but its not till 3.

You could take him to A&E if you want. You may have to wait, but I've never waited too long with mine as babies.
Or you could just go to your gp's office & sit & wait til they can fit you in earlier.

Its been a few hours and the rash is still there, he has gone back to sleep and did not eat his lunch, so will see what they say at the drs this arvo.

Just a quick thanks to all that replied, it turns out that his rash is from having an allergic reaction to penicillion. (sp?)

My DH was allergic to penicillin as a baby & broke out on blisters that looked like ciggarette burns.
DD1 is allergic to Amoxil a different type of antibiotic & broke out in a huge red rash down one side of her torso. Her skin was all red with spots though.
Hope the new ABs help & he feels better soon
