After being on amoxicillin for 7 days (for his double ear infection), Dax had a red rash break out all over. The pediatrician said he's allergic to penicillin-class antibiotics. :( Luckily, his ear infection is all cleared up, and the ruptured eardrum is completely healed. She was very pleased with how he looked (rash not-withstanding), so we didn't even put him on another prescription. The rash didn't slow Dax down at all, naturally. The rash actually got a little worse than these pictures, but it is already fading quickly.

In Case You Were Wondering
In case you were wondering, this is what an allergic reaction to amoxicillin looks like.
