Seek immediate medical attention if your amoxicillin rash is accompanied by difficulty breathing, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat, or dizziness. These symptoms suggest a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis), requiring prompt emergency treatment.
Severe Allergic Reaction Symptoms
Beyond the above, watch for other serious signs. A widespread rash covering a large portion of your body, accompanied by fever, intense itching, or blistering, requires immediate medical evaluation. These can indicate a more severe reaction than simple hives.
When to Contact Your Doctor
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following:
| Hives or welts | Raised, itchy bumps on your skin. |
| Itching | Intense, widespread itching not relieved by antihistamines. |
| Swollen lymph nodes | Swollen glands in your neck, armpits, or groin. |
| Joint pain | Pain or swelling in your joints. |
| Fever | Temperature above 100.4°F (38°C). |
