Drug reaction?: Possibly this could just be a delayed type response to amoxicillin, in which case your son would not be allergic, just sensitive to the amoxicillin. Similarly, this could also be related to any intercurrent illness. If they are flesh colored or red, itchy and not-draining, probably not concerning. If they look like "targets" or involve the lips, conjunctiva, or mucous membrane, go see your doctor!

Could be reaction: Hives or painless , itchy spots in a broad distribution may be a reaction to the med. I would stop it for now & contact the dr to get it into your kids record & see how to proceed.
