Rash: Depending on your child's age, she may have an intercurrent viral illness like roseola or she is allergic to the antibiotic.See your doctor for explanation.Good luck.

Two possibilities...: Come to mind, since rx is Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) ;#40;amoxicillin and clavulinuc acid;#41; could be a side effect that occurs very commonly with amoxicillin. If accompanied by hives, difficulty breathing, itchiness, could be an allergic reaction. Best to seek advice of the prescriber, and asap--especially if breathing difficulty present. Get daughter to er if difficulty breathing. Good luck.
