Recognizing a Severe Amoxicillin Rash

Seek immediate medical attention if your rash spreads rapidly, feels hot to the touch, or causes significant swelling. Target areas include the face, particularly around the eyes and mouth.

Blistering is a serious sign. Large, fluid-filled blisters indicate a severe reaction. These blisters can be painful and may break open, leading to further complications.

Difficulty breathing or swallowing requires emergency care. These symptoms suggest a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. Call emergency services immediately.

High fever accompanying the rash warrants urgent medical evaluation. A fever, combined with other severe symptoms, points toward a serious reaction.

Discoloration of the skin, such as turning blue or gray, necessitates immediate medical intervention. This indicates a significant lack of oxygen in the blood.

Monitor your condition closely. Note the rash’s size, location, and any changes in its appearance. This information will be helpful for your doctor.
