[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 57147, member: 2423"] Did the pediatrician do a throat culture or any blood work? You're right -- an antibiotic doesn't treat a virus so if the pediatrician thought it was a virus, it was irresponsible to give an antibiotic. In the meantime, I'd probably stop the Melatonin. Just because it's "natural" doesn't mean it can't cause problems. See if the rash goes away. You can always start the Melatonin again and see if the rash returns. You might also want to run it by the psychiatrist to see if he's OK with your difficult child taking Melatonin. Our psychiatrist didn't want difficult child 1 to take it. What other medications is he on? [/QUOTE]
