Mono Rash From Amoxcillin, Will Steroids Help? Posted: 03-18-06 21:36pm
I was diagnoised with mono this past
saturday, march 11th, I also had streph
throat & sinus infection. They gave
me a amoxcillin/augmentin mix and now I am
reading about getting a rash on it? I do
feel like I am getting a rash now and am
wondering if it's from the antibiotic?
I wonder if a steroid will help?

Hey Pam Posted: 03-20-06 00:08am
I know when I started taking pregnazone to
relieve my cold like symptoms my rash was
relieved a great deal. So you may want
to ask the doctor about that.

I think he meant prednisone, and unless
it's a severe rash i'd say to ask about
hydrocortisone (you can get it as a cream
to use, and normally it's a smaller
dosage). Steroids aren't a type of
medicine that can be taken over a long
period of time due to the damage long term
usage has been shown to cause.
Antibiotics can definitely cause rashes if
you're mildly or severely allergic to
them. I've had all kinds of reactions
spanning from hair dye to antibiotics,
sometimes where the rashes/itching get to
a point that I literally made my skin
bleed because I couldn't stop
rubbing/scratching. I would definitely
see about talking to your doctor about it,
and be sure to reply on what happens!
Good luck! :)

Allergic From Doc Giving Me Amoxcillin While I Had Mono Posted: 09-29-06 19:37pm
I did find out that you shouldn't take any
of the amoxcillin's when you have mono!
Some kind of reaction due to the mono! So
because I got a rash from it, I am posted
as being allergic! My doc should have
thought of that while he was testing me
for momo??
