He has broken out in a rash.

Last week i posted about my son being told he has a cold by 1 dr then another dr diagnosed him with a ear and chest infection.
Well today he has broken out in a rash from top to knee, its all over his face ears chest back and tummy and underams, but does not seam to be on his legs.
When my mum bought his antibiotics the lady at the counter had said if he breaks out in a rash it means he is allergic to it and stop imediatly, but it would happen after his first dose.
And that was a week ago.
Im not sure if its a heat rash, milk rash, as he started full cream milk, but that also was over a week ago, or if it is realated to his infection?
Im going to keep an eye on it to see if it fades over the course of the day, and im about to give him a cool bath as he feels warm.
Appart from taking him to the dr, which i will do if there is no improvement, what else can i do for him?

Give the Chemist a ring and let him know what has happened. He will be able to advise you if you need to take him back to the Drs. as he will have seen this type of thing often.

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.
