If a child doesn t have penicillin allergy and when he took augmantin 400 he had skin redness on neck can he took amoxicillin 250?

Yes you can!: If the child is not allergic to penicillin, it is okay to give amoxicilline.

Drug allergy: The majority of children who have an allergic reaction to Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) will probably react to Amoxicillin as well since Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) contains amoxicillin. Some people will be allergic to Amoxicillin and not penicillin but most will also be react to penicillin. A visit to an allergist may help sort this out and determine the best alternative antibiotics.

Penicillin: This is a tricky one, after how many tablets of Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) did he develop the skin redness, during or after the treatment? Usually delayed reactions are not a contraindication to use the medication, so if he needs be on amox he can still use it but you need to watch him and see if he develops any rashes from the medication, this time it may be more rapid in onset.

Penicillen allergy: He may not have a drug allergy at all. One would expect a drug allergy to affect the whole body rather than be localized in one area. If the rash persists i would recommend you see a dermatologist.

Might not: If it was true penicillin allergy and your child develops skin rashes to augmentin, (amoxicillin and clavulanate) he should not take amoxicillin, a synthetic penicillin. Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) contains Amoxicillin and clavulanate. However, most of the time, childhood penicillin allergy is not true allergy. A viral exanthem might occur at the same time that the child takes penicillin. An allergist can help you figure this out.
