Son is on amoxicillin. he has had a reaction spreading down his legs in 2hours. hospital or should i wait to call dr in the am? he is in serious pain.

Go now: Better safe than sorry. If he is hurting all of a sudden, and a new onset rash, it could be a reaction. You did not say where he was hurting, but abdominal pain can be an indicator of an allergic reaction.
