Strep Rash: The rash may be due to the strep and your daughter's immune response to it, or the rash may be an allergic reaction to the antibiotic prescribed to treat the strep, if your daughter has already taken a dose. Either way, let the doctor who diagnosed the strep know immediately--do not wait until tomorrow!
