Allergic Reaction

A couple weeks ago we took Julia in for a regular check-up, plus to get a cough checked out, and it turned out that she had an ear infection. The doctor prescribed amoxicillin for her, and about a week into the medication, she broke out in a rash all over her body. Of course, this happened over a long weekend, so we had to wait about 3 days before we could take her back to the doctor. I did suspect it was the amoxicillin, but we were unsure about it, since it took so long for a reaction to show up. The doctor agreed with me that it was the amoxicillin, and after a couple more days the rash cleared up and she was feeling better. Other than not sleeping well, Julia really was a trooper through it all!
