Antibiotic over 3 weeks and have maybe have tonsillitis and now have a rash on hands, arms, and face. is this caused by meds?

Probably: The rash is probably an allergic reaction to one of the antibiotics you have taken. It could be a rash of scarlet fever if you had group a streptococcal infection. It could be a viral exantham if you had a viral infection.
