Yeah see if there’s anything else they can give you to help. Especially since rashes can itch and be painful.

Yeah he’s started itching himself now,he’s on his 4th dose of antibiotics so I didn’t know if they’d have kicked in, but yeah I’ll ask because it’s look more red rather than anything xx

Does he have a fever? And has it been more than 48hrs since he started the antibiotics?

Avatar

No he doesn’t have a fever, and he only had his first two doses yesterday, so yesterday was his first full day xx

Yeah I would talk to them again especially since he started scratching it can definitely make things worse
