My son was given the antibiotic the other day for strep and immediately was covered in tiny bumps that he now says are itchy. should i b worried?

Antibiotic allergy: Apparently your son is allergic to the antibiotic. It could be dangerous to continue taking it. Call the doctor's office immediately (even on a Sunday, probably somebody is covering). They'll probably prescribe a different antibiotic.

No, but : Stop the antibiotic and call / see his doctor, could be an allergy to the medicine, a side effect, or a rash due to the disease itself, better be evaluated by his doctor, good luck
