My son (4.5 years old) seems is allergic to azithromycin and also to amoxicillin. Whenever he consumes any of these medicines (in suspension form), in two days time, he starts getting rashes through out his face and body which lasts for more than 2 weeks. We requested doctor to give him some antibiotic which avoids this side effect. Doctor prescribed Loratadine based medicine (Lorinase) and said it will help him in case if he gets this rashes. we will be starting this dosage immediately. Can you all professional doctors, advise any other solutions as well for our future usage.
Welcome to the ChatDoctorSince your child is suffering from allergic tendency to amoxicillin and azithromycin, It's advisable to avoid any Chat Doctor.  There are other groups of antibiotics which can be given to him in case of any infections after proper physician consultation. Kindly elaborate this allergic history to his treating physician in the future. Allergic reaction occurs due to release of histamines and other inflammatory mediators from our bodies when exposed to the allergens. So, antihistamine such as Chlorpheniramine, Loratadine, cetirizine are useful for treating such episodes. In case the episode turns very severe with breathing problems, always take him to ER immediately for emergency treatment. Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you in any further questions. Take care
