Workup and follow up: The two antibiotic classes are distinct, but it may be possible for a baby to have allergic reactions to both or either medication. Typically an allergic rash looks blotchy and is itchy. If there are other symptoms including GI upset, breathing difficulties/drooling/problems swallowing, I would advise an evaluation in the ED. A follow up visit with your pediatrician is suggested.
