[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 222759, member: 3444"] Thanks Marg & Loth. It was rx'd because of an infected toe (and a rash that was started to extend up her foot into her ankle from that toe). She never had a fever. The rash actually looked a bit better after her shower last night. No itching, no hives, no throat or breathing issues. The nurse I spoke with last night said for her to finish the medication (I think she has two more doses left), but to call if the rash changes and worsens. She said it happens with penicillin-based drugs and it does not indicate an actual allergy. She's taken this drug before with no problems. But she also developed a cold on day 7 of taking this, so maybe the virus made her skin more sensitive? I dunno... The rash is still there today, but a bit better than yesterday and unless you look closely, you can't tell from her exposed skin (arms, face, neck) that she has it. So she did go to school afterall :) Never a dull moment.... [/QUOTE]
