your nephew had a common reaction to amoxicillin. i see it a few times a month in my practice. this is not an allergic reaction but merely an innocent side effect that usually happens toward the end of the amoxicillin course. the rash will most likely fade in a few days. since he did have this reaction it would be best that he not take amoxcillin or similar penicillin drugs in the future.
could the amoxicillin my nephew just finished taking cause a rash all over his body?
